Work Through Me

[Intro]

Yes, yes, ya'll and you don't stop

One beat ya'll and you don't stop

Yes, yes, ya'll and you don't stop

A one, two, ya'll and you don't stop

[Verse: Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh & Both]

Yo, wake up in the morning and I'm praying

"Work through me Lord"

Back in the day we used to rock it at The Troubadour

Big Dho, Flash, Donny, Rapper Pooh and truly yours

In the land of movie stars, out with my whole team

Take a flight out to New Orleans and hit Mikes for a fresh bowl of catfish courtbouillon

No cap, bitch, prove me wrong

Keep it slappin' on the two and four, this is what we moving towards

Wake up in the morning and I'm praying, "Work through me Lord"

If my life is a movie then this would be the score

Always gotta leave 'em wantin' more

Firmly plan it when you tryna soar

Niggas all types of sore

They don't never see the work, only results of it

Get knocked down just to rise above it

Then get knocked down again 'cause somebody covet

Material things that don't mean nuttin'

Me and my brother used to dream that I would be something

So when me and 'Te hit the stage, it ain't just for the accolades

So sorry to aggravate, I just wanna be the man my mama and my grandma raised

Literary bars that my grandma raised

Crowds fall out like gamma rays

When me and Pooh connect like Wonder Twins, activate

So have a drink, settle down, I know you were bored

And silence your phones 'cause now your favorite movie's on

Wake up in the morning and I'm praying, "Work through me Lord"

Back in the day we used to rock it at The Troubadour

Big Dho, Flash, Scudda, Phonte and truly yours

We undefeated but who keepin' score?

When the light ain't shining like it used to, I say "merci beaucoup"

You waitin' on that breakthrough, when the truth is you lacking discipline (Discipline)

We talkin' bout dope, I ain't even mention it

Mind your positionin'

Wake up in the morning and I'm-

Hold up, I'm envisioning a two-man alliance that'll silence all the dissonance

Pastor Tigallo, spot the difference

Boom baptism, this a christening, you already know

It's showtime when my Company Flow just like Mr. Len

Throw me off my game? I just smile, tell 'em do your best

Scratch that, go fish, nigga, bouillabaisse

Y'all do the rest, I just do the food

I spit royalty 'cause there's no loyalty

You niggas ride with everybody, rap game Uber pool

Damn near twenty years, thought you knew the rules

But if you never knew before then you should be warned

This how it's goin' down any time we press record

Wake up in the morning and I'm praying, "Work through me Lord"

Work through me Lord

Work through me Lord
