Lyrics
[Verse 1:] Yo, outside her Brooklyn apartment She got a new crew now and I ain't part of it Tattoo on her wrists, so the scars are hid And I ain't trying to lose you like an argument Fuck beef and everybody who started it Walk in to the bar and they card the kid Good, cause I'm twenty-five, but I only look twenty I'm trying to survive in this world that we live in There's truth and there's lies and not every decision you choose can rewind You might blink in a moment and this shit be over I'm fucking it up if I'm living inside Wasting my time on the internet This job never ends, nowadays It's the only way we earning respect It's hard to leave when we're earning a check

[Hook:] Working them late nights, every night Motivation, super high Double shift it, over drive Make that money, multiply Oh lord not this, walking home I wanna quit But I stick around for the benefits

Clocking in that overtime, clocking in that overtime Clocking in that overtime, clocking in that overtime And I'm getting paid for it, paid for it, overtime [x2]

[Verse 2:] I'm pushing back when push comes to shove Deep down, wondering why they ain't pushing us I got friends with deals, I got friends who front But just keep it real, cause who gives a fuck If I was Pusha T, I might push a brick Working 24/7 just to push my shit Cause if I slip, there'll be twenty other rappers, quick Trying to fit in my shoes, but my feet just too big I can't relax, I can't even sit back With my girl on my bed, got my face to my Mac And I know she act disappointed in that But how the fuck we gonna blow off a rap So I stay grounded, never catch an ego As far as we go, [?] Love all my fans, without you, where would I be though? Where would I be though?

[Hook]

[Verse 3:] Could it be so easy, well don't believe me Cause you know good things take time And please don't leave me, cause I need you with me And there ain't no shortcuts left in this life And the great things take love, love And the great things take love, love And the great things take love, love And the great things take love, love, love Are you putting in work?

[Hook]
