Job

[Intro: Anthony Hamilton]

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

[Verse 1: August Alsina]

I know somebody tired of assisted livin'

Wakin' every mornin' sayin', "I gotta get it"

Focus on the paper can give you tunnel vision

Drug dealin', stackin', flippin' just tryna make a livin'

Baby shakin' on the pole just to make tuition

Single mommas facin' drama so they can feed they children

Niggas strung out on that dope just 'cause they had a taste

And niggas droppin' out of school on the paper chase

Who am I to hate? I ain't judgin' 'cause I can relate

Skippin' school, gettin' high, just tryna motivate

Just tryna make it 'til I make it to them pearly gates

Lost too many homies, can't face another wake

Another loss, another cop, another mistake, nothin' stand in my way

I went through a hurricane of pain and I'm standin' today

And if you outchea on your grind, fuck whoever hate

Just pay attention and concentrate

[Pre-Chorus: August Alsina]

Yeah nigga, 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 nothin' standin' in my way, I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]

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

[Verse 2: Jadakiss]

Yeah, I'm speakin' 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 the change, then they call you greedy

Now they all on social media talkin' 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 puttin' 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 nothin' planned, this is God's work

Uh, we workin' hard 'cause it's hard work

[Pre-Chorus: August Alsina]

Yeah nigga, 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 nothin' standin' in my way, I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton & 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 '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

[Outro: Anthony Hamilton]

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
