Work Lyrics

What you know about the self-esteem
Been lower than baselines (lower than baselines)
Been doing this 15 years
I know this shit don' take time (yeah, take time)
Y'all just whine too much
I heard that through the grapevine (y'all just whine)
I ain't no sheep, I'm trying to be a shepherd
That's word to the canine (hoo)

I don't need a bad little thing
I don't do them shanks and shivs
I don't need no brick
To be on point like a pyramid (word)
I shine like neons had nothing to lean on
Only child but I didn't have freedom
That's that devil cage that broke dreams from
Yeah

I burn 'n' blazed, tornado, came a fire
Was around on Jim Carrey's liar liar
Don't pretend just to beat them
I been facefirst with them demons
Work late nights, where y'all dreamin'
Nine-to-fiving, like machining
Mr. Robot 'til my nose drop
I keep my own spot on that cement, damn

What you know about the self-esteem
Been lower than baselines (lower than baselines)
Been doing this 15 years
I know this shit don' take time (yeah, take time)
Y'all just whine too much
I heard that through the grapevine (y'all just whine)
I ain't no sheep, I'm trying to be a shepherd
That's word to the canine (hoo)

(Work)
I'm always putting that (work)
Until my head in that (dirt)
Until I'm the champ like (Durk)
Roll up with the weightless (work)
I'm always putting that (work)
Until my head in that (dirt)
Until I'm the champ like (Durk)

What you know about that deep
What you know about that seabed
Everybody got something to say, you line up who
The floor gon' ooze, y'all don't wanna make me see red
Every label wanna label me but I ain't stuck up
For a buck, what
You better fuck up before I bust up
That's a quick nut for my come up

Til' I'm dead in my grave I write rhymes
Y'all ain't even seen me up in my prime
This is MJ, the rookie, the proof's in the pudding
I still made waves while I was on the shore, Snooki
I'm better with venom, I let 'em remember, yeah, every bite
(Do do) When I move, man I smooth, yeah with every slight
(Do do) Every hit that I took was another fight
I ain't got time to sleep, no lullaby

They don't wanna, they don't wanna
They don't wanna see me rise
I'm in their targets
They looking for this night
They don't wanna, they don't wanna
They don't wanna see me alive
But the dark was
Where I learned to shine

(Work)
I'm always putting that (work)
Until my head in that (dirt)
Until I'm the champ like (Durk)
Roll up with the weightless (work)
I'm always putting that (work)
Until my head in that (dirt)
Until I'm the champ like (Durk)

Roll up with the weightless (work)
I'm always putting that (work)
Until my head in that (dirt)
Until I'm the champ like (Durk)
Roll up with the weightless (work)
I'm always putting that (work)
Until my head in that (dirt)
Until I'm the champ like (Durk)
