| (See, my strategy when it comes down to
|
| My work ethic
|
| I mean it’s simple. |
| Just be the best)
|
| I fall down but never fall-off
|
| I’m fully committed to making a killing from this at all costs
|
| I stopped signing no time to cotch
|
| I sacrifice my life like Christ on the cross
|
| This rhyme book is the bible
|
| I’m searching for signs of betrayal in the eyes of a disciple
|
| I decipher the puzzle of arrival
|
| Analyse their weakness
|
| Eight days a week I’ll be training for the title
|
| King of the hill
|
| You got beef don’t bring it to Bill
|
| I’m just trying to smoke trees and chill
|
| To the next grind date
|
| Until you get your mind straight
|
| Stay the fuck out my way
|
| Because everybody got to get paid
|
| While some will pull a gun out and spray
|
| Better duck out the gate
|
| Others exploit others
|
| I exploit these skills
|
| It’s all in a day’s work to avoid these bills
|
| I build a joint and chill
|
| As I finish the page
|
| From staircase to stage to minimum wage
|
| It’s okay
|
| My work ethic is blood, sweat, tears; |
| years; |
| buds, beers
|
| 24/7 trying to build careers
|
| And we pay them bills when the cheque clears
|
| My work ethic is strict, fair; |
| spit, tear; |
| kick, snare
|
| If you grind for the coin in your pocket
|
| And the notes in your wallet say 'Shit yeah'!
|
| I never stop grafting
|
| I’ve got the song blasting
|
| And if you don’t understand
|
| Then you’re not starving
|
| I see the apple up in God’s garden
|
| I’m telling Eve don’t believe no snake
|
| She never got past him
|
| The effects of that greed could be long-lasting
|
| See I need to feed but there’s a wrong path and
|
| There’s a right path…
|
| A long hard road
|
| You man are on a quick sketch like The Fast Show
|
| It’s so tragic
|
| You try taking a shortcut and get caught up in the heavy traffic
|
| Steady static, no movement
|
| You’ll be counting the hours for your own amusement
|
| I’m in the house like home improvement
|
| My album’s bound to blow like the fuse went
|
| Because I put in the necessary grind, man
|
| You’ve got a plan but it’s all in your mind, man
|
| (You could learn a few things from my man)
|
| He’s right man
|
| There’s no such word as 'try', man
|
| My work ethic is blood, sweat, tears; |
| years; |
| buds, beers
|
| 24/7 trying to build careers
|
| And we pay them bills when the cheque clears
|
| My work ethic is strict, fair; |
| spit, tear; |
| kick, snare
|
| If you grind for the coin in your pocket
|
| And the notes in your wallet say, 'Shit yeah'!
|
| My work ethic is blood, sweat, tears; |
| years; |
| buds, beers
|
| If you grind for the coin in your pocket
|
| And the notes in your wallet say 'We in here'!
|
| My work ethic is cop, drop, shot
|
| Dance floors burning hot
|
| If you grind for the coin in your pocket
|
| And the notes in your wallet everybody say 'it don’t stop'!
|
| (My work ethic) |
