Job (Feat. Anthony Hamilton & Jadakiss) - August Alsina
Lords knows I work hard
But I still gotta stay on my job
Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
Won't stop until the day
that I'm a boss

I know somebody tired of
assisted living
Waking every morning saying
I gotta get it
Focus on the paper can
give you tunnel vision
Drug dealing stacking flipping
just tryna make a living
Baby shaking on the pole
just to make tuition
Single mommas facing drama
so they can feed they children
Niggas strung out on that dope
just cause they had a taste
And niggas dropping out of
school on the paper chase
Who am I to hate
I ain't judging cause I can relate
Skipping school getting high
just tryna motivate
Tryna make it 'til I make it
to them pearly gates
Lost so many of my homies
I can't face another wake
Another lost another cop
another mistake
nothing standing in my way
I went through a hurricane of
pain and I'm standing today
And if you outchea on your grind
fuck whoever hate
Just pay attention and concentrate
Yeah niggas it's crunch time
And I'm just tryna eat
just like a kid at lunch time
And if you thought it was joke
it ain't no punchline
Ain't nothing standing in my way
I'm 'bout to get move
it's hard work
Lords knows I work hard
But I still gotta stay on my job
Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
Won't stop 'til the day
that I'm a boss
yo it's hard work
Lords knows I work hard
But I still got to stay on my job
And I ain't taking no days off
Won't stop 'til the day it pays off
it's hard work yeah
Yeah I'm speaking real
so you gon' believe me
First of all nobody said that
it was gon' be easy
And you don't see the pain
you just see what's on the TV
When you don't let them
keep it change then
they call you greedy
Now they on social media
talking greezy
Would get the guns but my sons
and my daughters need me
I get it off soon as it comes
make your order speedy
I'm on a hell of a run
I thank the Lord completely
I'm putting overtime in
so I'm sorta sleepy
And I haven't slept in years
so that's sorta creepy
Gotta beat me fair and square
but you ain't gonna cheat me
Carry the weight of the world
on my shoulders weekly
Blame the universe
that's how the stars work
Yeah play your hand
that's how the cards work
Nah ain't nothing planned
this is God's work
We working hard
cause it's hard work
Yeah niggas it's crunch time
And I'm just tryna eat
just like a kid at lunch time
And if you thought it was joke
it ain't no punchline
Ain't nothing standing in my way
I'm 'bout to get mine
it's hard work
Lords knows I work hard
But I still gotta stay on my job
Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
Won't stop 'til the day
that I'm a boss
yo it's hard work
Lords knows I work hard
But I still got to stay on my job
And I ain't taking no days off
Won't stop 'til the day it pays off
it's hard work yeah
It's hard work yeah
It's hard it's hard work yeah
It's hard work yeah
It's hard it's hard work yeah
