[Verse 1]
Went from laying down tracks in the back of the closet
When I was young I thought it had monsters
To moving tapes by the crate and the boatload
To showboat and show that I was awesome
Starting defending the top spot that I got
Cause I could never settle for a tie (Ty) like Lawson
In a matter of a couple of years I got my first deal
But didn't sign with caution
Then it went downhill like awwww sh-
My career did acrobat flip
And now I'm working back to back shifts
Chilling in this chair and I'm feeling exhausted
But never planned to turn off that faucet
This continuous flow be having rigorous hoes
Stripping they clothes when it's frigid as snow
k**ing this — oh, a customer, hold on lemme pause it
[Break]
Nahhhh!
Bump that, bringing it back like I never really lost it
[Verse 2]
Ah, I be putting on shows in the city
Tell the Rev that Run and son rappers Diggy
Ah, I be feeling like the old school Diddy
Yeah-ye-ye-yeah, but that's no Biggie
Aw, I never had to work one pot
Or move weight on that triple-beam
Cause if I'm given my one shot
I'll drain it even if triple teamed
That's work, and you know I'm doing what I gotta
Stone cold flow but the movement is hotter
David and Goliath, Rocky and Apollo
Psh, you don't spit, you swallow, holla
Ballin' like I'm an athlete
You can go and check the stat sheet
I'm making records by rapping
And I broken a record just last week
That's work, mixed with a little berserk
k** 'em all no saving 'em
Them track outs the way I'm laying 'em
You'd think I be fornicate'in em
Gotta couple dudes that bear arms
Like Hester and Forte and em'
And they known to be working with Caine (Kane)
Like Saad and Shaw and Sharp and Toews and em
That's
[Hook]
Work (I), Work (went), Work (and), Work, I wrote this chillin' at work so
Work (I), Work (guess), Work (that), Work, I'mma have to title this #WorkFlow
I wrote this chillin' at work so, I'mma have to title this #WorkFlow
Work (x8) This that #WorkFlow
[Bridge]
Bringing the multiple syllable ritual
That be making everybody wanna go loco (work)
Started off k**ing it local
Now I'm becoming a revolutionary logo
While you be working them night shifts at the postal
I be at a meeting with a millionaire mogul (work)
Women with the heads of a pollo
Trying to get wetter than agua de la polo
When I put in
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
What you mean minimal wage?
You're suppose to be critical paid
You be topping the competition and people be
Stopping and listening to all the moves you make
You be dealing with kids all day?
You're suppose to be k**ing on stage
What you need to be doing is making it rain and
Revolutionizing the game — well just wait
I'mma ball so hard like Yeezy, haaan!
Starting to make it look easy, haaan!
40 a week to recording an EP
Now I'm all up on a HDTV, haaan!
Over time and piss paid
To on the grind like grip tape
Came a long way from charging a couple
Bills for a simple mixtape
Man everybody that heard me but ain't
Seen me think I been black
Cause I spit rap and I rip tracks
Like pulled weave in a chick scrap
Trick sit back, these flows are labeled as syntax
And anybody that's
Poking jokes like Sinbad
Better watch they mouth like chin straps
AHH!!
[Break]
[Verse 3 cont.]
Man I'm tired of the same old thing
Everybody claim that they know my name
Keep on telling me, that eventually
I'ma make it in this game
So I'm clocking out and going back to rap
Last check you can have it back
I'm getting paid for my hustle
And my struggle, what you calling that?
That's
[Hook]
[Chant]
Work! Work! Work! Work!
Work! Work! Work! Work!
Aww, Aww
Haha... The Sound of Will County, baby!
Work! Work! Work! Work!
Work! Work! Work! — Ha, let it ride out...
