Ronnie C, Bloom - The Workshop Lyrics

But this here's the workshop
We've been open for hours
Supply demand here's the flour
The money the power
Ain't got no time for these cowards
We work hard everyday now
We work hard for the saving
We work hard, we work hard
We work hard for the slaving
Been working hard my whole life trying to execute my plans
I've got overwhelming supply for all these new demands
Years ago I was ahead of my time, too advanced
They wouldn't listen if you couldn't make them move and dance
My real life stories weren't enough and were too insufficient
Probably why my deal got shut down, I mean this is a business
But I hopped right back to my feet within an instant
And kept adding to my catalog, now it's real extensive
The older cats love me, the young dudes respect me
I wanna flourish but the powers that be won't let me
My competition is jealous as hell but will never check me
I'm still street, if you step you better do it correctly
I give this pen my all every time ahead of these sessions
The work I put in, in the past can never be questioned
So I submit my deepest thoughts to y'all instead of confessions
And continue counting dollars, dimes, and every blessing
But this here's the workshop
We've been open for hours
Supply demand here's the flour
The money the power
Ain't got no time for these cowards
We work hard everyday now
We work hard for the saving
We work hard, we work hard
We work hard for the slaving
Between rocks and hard places, favors I had to ask
Ain't too proud to beg, especially when I ain't have the cash
But I came up, the bag I grabbed and stashed
Good news move slow, but bad news travels fast
My only regret was the list of the things I didn't say
Success felt far, I was only a hit away
Some said I should have I left, when others didn't stay
That's when I called an audible, ya know? I switched the play
Things changed, and I started getting calls
Wanting me to join their team, but that was a different cause
They didn't understand I stuck to my own code and strictest laws
If everyone's doing it then I don't wanna get involved
Because I was pacing myself, when they couldn't stay consistent
So they started calling my cocky, shallow, and narcissistic
I wanted everyone to win, I was extremly altruistic
I gave them all a chance and they missed it
But this here's the workshop
We've been open for hours
Supply demand here's the flour
The money the power
Ain't got no time for these cowards
We work hard everyday now
We work hard for the saving
We work hard, we work hard
We work hard for the slaving

But this here's the workshop
We've been open for hours
Supply demand here's the flour
The money the power
Ain't got no time for these cowards
We work hard everyday now
We work hard for the saving
We work hard, we work hard
We work hard for the slaving
Been working hard my whole life trying to execute my plans
I've got overwhelming supply for all these new demands
Years ago I was ahead of my time, too advanced
They wouldn't listen if you couldn't make them move and dance
