Lyrics

Drumwork

[Intro: Conway the Machine]

Yeah

Daringer

Uh, look

[Verse 1: Conway the Machine]

I was the most overlooked

Now I'm the most noticed, hope it's noted this how real niggas supposed to look (Uh-huh)

Huh, my verse is like an open book

About my life and the niggas I shot and all the dope I cooked

Take it off the stove, don't let it overcook

You gettin' smoked, you put a hand on me

Shots run it down even if he had a broken foot (Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom)

All through COVID, we still sold it by the boatload to push

Pandemic got you niggas hurtin', ain't no shows to book (Hahahahaha)

Nigga, ain't no backends to collect (Hah)

We shot at niggas back then, the MAC-10 was the sket (Brr)

Smart with my monеy now, I tend to invest

OG told me, "Keep thеm feelings in your chest, just kill 'em with your success (Woo)

They gon' be sick when they vision your neck"

Them pieces with the emerald sets, one-eighty for the AP with the baguettes (Talk to 'em)

Got bitches on my neck like I'm Swae Lee, signed to Shady then hit the connect

And you know what I did with the check, my nigga

(Hah, yeah, you know what I did with that shit, nigga)

Yeah, and you know what I did with the check (Hah)

Ayo, I went and got me a brick, a half a brick of some fent'

I left the kitchen a mess (Woo), I twist my wrist and I stretch

My nigga, listen, I'm blessed (Blessed)

I'm Russell Wilson how I wiggle through duress, nigga, picture me stressed, my nigga (Picture that, nigga)

All the cars and jewelry I bought myself (Uh-huh)

My OG ain't teach me how to cook a brick, I taught myself (I taught myself)

Now I'm jumpin' out the LaFerrari, Goyard the belt

And park it right in front the May Store where all the hard was dealt (Hahahaha)

When I was goin' broke, them niggas never offered help

So fuck 'em, I did it all myself, Machine, bitch

[Verse 2: 7xvethegenius]

It's 7xve with the crazy flow, I just paid my rent a couple days ago

But I still got a fence and ride Mercedes though (Uh)

The one you thought won't be here, but, oh yeah, I'm drummin' (I'm drummin')

That's word to Con, my mama proud of all that I'm becomin' (7xve)

They askin' where did I come from, but my life been so crazy

I'm startled by the conundrum 'cause I been tryna make it

Since 90-something, that's dumb young, send me back where I come from (Uh)

Now that I'm here, I ain't goin' stupid, I'm goin' dumb-dumb (Yeah)

This a long way from beef ramen

From what I speak, Simon Says it makes sense to keep rhymin'

So when you see I, know this a long way from Antwerp (From Antwerp)

And I been fightin' with life so long, my fuckin' hands hurt (My hands hurt)

And I decided to right my wrongs and wrote a jam first

'Cause if it jam first, they'll never kill me like a cancer (Uh)

In my hood, you lie, they not surprised, it's always comin' (Uh)

Found a way like fuck it, make it nasty, put a thumb in (7xve)

A city full of two-strikes but still give advice, they like to shoot dice

And you nice but it gets no life, I'll probably shoot twice

I do write, they think it's impossible, that ain't logical

All my bars two and a possible of my obstacle (Uh)

I been scarred, hurt and depressed, wasn't conquered though

Now, well, I'm doin' my best to send 'em to hospitals

Got bigger things to worry 'bout than how you say my name

One of the greatest of the day, I'm verifying it by my chain, 7xve

[Verse 3: Jae Skeese]

Uh, the fact I made it had rappers feelin' invalidated (Uh-huh)

But breakin' through for me was like the rose that wouldn't crack the pavement (What)

I put in the label like it's black enslavements

See these writings abolished all my uncertainties and now them shackles vacant (Come on)

I watch for niggas, they'll finesse if the situation is advantageous (What)

Look, I'm at the top, that's where I had to take it (Let's go)

DrumWork piece, see these diamonds is flawless

I'm grindin' regardless, my reputation's highly regarded (Talk that talk)

The rarest kicks, you ain't findin' these Jordans

I hit the seller, put paper in front of him, like I was signin' an artist (Hahaha)

See I just put a bullseye on my target (Uh-huh)

With Daringer on production, I'm on the verse, that's when you findin' a carcass (What up, Daringer?)

I'm Air 1 like them white on white Forces

5'10", I walk in like I'm enormous (Uh-huh)

They let me in the game, I lock in and vaulted (Woo)

She threw me bomb pussy so I had to Laviska Shenault it (Let's go)

If I record it, it's dope, you can sniff or you snort it (Uh-huh)

You think of me, you should envision the arctic

I been the coldest, I was focused back in Ocho in the littest apartment (My Ocho niggas)

This ain't a drill, this is gettin' alarmin'

I grinded hard for gold trophies, they ain't finna get tarnished (Nah)

Look, the Eastside raised me, this shit was crazy

Summertime shootings right on Bailey

Guns clappin', soundin' like M-80s (Bah, bah, bah, bah)

I rose from this shit, it's gettin' crazy

You see we legends in the flesh, now's the time to give us daisies

Not later
