DIRTY WORK

[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Yeah, it's comin' in hot, never fumblin' spots

I guess it all comes down to who want it or not (Want)

Build a solid foundation's how you stay at the top

You want the mansion, I take the land with the plot

[Refrain]

In other words, I'll do the dirty work

Psh, yeah

Fuck it, I'll do the dirty work (Fuck it)

Better me than you

*sigh*

I'd rather get my hands dirty than get the fam dirty

I take all they pain and the stress like it can't hurt me (Yeah)

Fuck it, I'll do the dirty work

Psh, yeah (Fuck it)

[Verse 2]

Sometimes, carryin' the weight of a man is a lot to bare

And bury feelin's so deep down that they hardly there

And people depеndin' on you, and you always there (Oh)

But they nеver there for me in the moments of my despair (Never)

But I take all my family problems like I never had 'em

Like I'm the one good seed in the bad apple

I guess I'm just a way better actor

Lord forbid I ask anyone else for help

They gon' be like, "He actin' outta character, man—what happened? (Man, what happened?)

Why you actin' weird?"

Or maybe I'm just droppin' that persona that always appears

Or maybe I'm just bein' real witchu for the first time in years

And after they ask how it feel, they always ask, "Well, what about yo' career?"

Like I'm just supposed to make decisions based off of fear

I mean, half of 'em were, and I still carry the guilt (Guilt)

No wonder years goin' by, and I'm still not healed

But I just pray these are feelin's my loved ones won't have to feel (Pray)

It hurt me bad, man, but look how I got us here (Look)

And even through the wars and scars, look what we built

And even though my life don't reflect what's in the mirror

[Refrain]

I feel like, "Fuck it, I'll do the dirty work" (Fuck it)

*sigh*

Psh, fuck it, I'll do the dirty work

Better me than you

Shit

[Verse 3]

I'd rather get my hands dirty than get the fam dirty

And let 'em know they covered, and they don't gotta reimburse me

Carry all they inhibitions, demons that can't curse me

While I'm prayin' to a god that some of 'em can't worship (God)

But I done trust and believe

My faith is blind behind the miracles that I seen

I'm talkin' stickin' to the roles when you not on the scene (Stick)

I told my niggas, "Better weight in the triple beam"

We could put our minds together—you know, in triple team

I gotta air out all the dirty laundry—we could just keep it clean

Came from a city wit' a different style, different glow, different flow—uh (City)

But somehow, I popped (Popped)

While I was around the block, openin' doors nonstop (Swerve, swerve)

[Refrain]

Like, fuck it, I'll do the dirty work

([?] everbody [?] tell us a story)

Yeah

(Can you tell us a story?)

(Alright, now gather 'round, gather 'round)

Swear, I do this shit

Fuck it, I'll do the dirty work

([?] used to do it back in the day, you know how we used to play)

Yeah

[Verse 4]

I'm talkin' back when I had two girlfriends at once

They both met—it felt like the world ended at once (Fuck)

And even though I really had thought that our time was done

They both came back at me, askin' me what I want

But they know what's up even without a reason

Even if they both wifeys, they know that I gotta leave 'em (Woah)

They know that I'm too young for the world, and I gotta see it

They know that the fans is hungry out there, and I gotta feed 'em

Psh ([?]) (Fast forward)

First rapper to perform at Obama crib

That's why you wide-eyed when I walk in yo' mama crib

And wanna forgive me for all the bullshit lyin' I did

([?])

I know your stomach dropped when you seen that baby bump

Girl, that's not the thing you want—fuck

But I guess you'd rather have me as a friend than not have me at all (Uh)

But I slowly stopped textin' and returnin' calls

Got me thinkin', "Really, why are we even involved?

I'ma start blockin' 'em all"

[Refrain]

Fuck it, I'll do the dirty work

Psh, man

Fuck it, I'll do the dirty work

I don't gotta do what I did to do it, you know?
