[Intro – Fourth Voice] Yeah, yeah... , yeah... [whiny male voice] They like, "Man, you in the cage again What's yo deal? Time to bounce." [Voice 4 Spoken word] I'm good, just a few more swings. [whining voice] Bro, you really think you special or somethin?" [Voice 4] Nah, it's not about special I just love this work, homie. [Verse 1 – Fourth Voice] You walk in like, “Why you sweat this late, my guy?” I’m like, “Cause I got more to give, I gotta try.” So you laugh, call me “try‑hard,” roll your eyes, Say, “Chill, it ain’t that deep, it’s just some guys.” You think I’m chasin’ gold stars, lil’ parade, But I’ve stayed in empty cages where no noise made. I like the sound when the plate hits steel, Like the sting in the hand when the barrel feels real. You like to stand back, hands in your sleeve, Act too cool to care, like you plan to leave. Call me extra, call me “do the most,” But I ain’t grindin’ for a caption or a post. Straight from class to practice, not gonna stray, Brown-bagin’ chicken ’n rice and a shaker of whey. Protein bar wrapper in the locker by my cleats, Mixin’ up powder just to keep up with the beats. You think I want your praise for the steps I take, Like chasing these dreams is a love I fake. You think hard work some costume I wear, I think you scared ’cause you not really there. [Hook – Fourth Voice (balanced), others low “work hard” echoes] You too cool to work hard, that’s fine, I love the grind like I love game time. You throw shame while I throw weight, You make excuses, I just stay late. I don’t work so you think I’m the real deal, I grind ’cause I love how the work makes me feel. You too cool to work hard, that’s you, I’m in love with the reps, not the point of view. [Verse 2 – Fourth Voice (faster, more animated)] You stand on the wall like the king of the gym, Phone out, talk big, but the bar too slim. You think I want your praise for the steps I take, Like chasing these dreams is a love I fake. You think hard work some costume I wear, I think you scared ’cause you not really there. [Verse 2 – Fourth Voice (faster, more animated)] You stand on the wall like the king of the gym, Phone out, talk big, but the bar too slim. [whine]“Man, what’s the point, you ain’t D1” You don’t understand, the work is fun. So you clown every kid who love practice too, Call ’em “try‑hard,” “coach’s pet,” “over‑hyped like you.” Some nights it’s bullpens, hip drive, workin’ down the mound, Hit the cage, same swing, quick hands, let the barrel pound. Other nights... ladder feet, tap‑tap, then go, Band work, core tight, hips stay low. You scroll through clips while I stack each rep, Write down sets, yeah, more promises kept. You think obsession mean somethin’s broke, I think your comfort zone small as your jokes. [Hook – Fourth Voice (more aggressive delivery)] You too cool to work hard, that’s fine, I love the grind like I love game time. You throw shame while I throw weight, You make excuses, I just stay late. I don’t work so you think I’m the real deal, I grind ’cause I love how the work makes me feel. You too cool to work hard, that’s you, I’m in love with the reps, not the point of view. [Verse 3 – Fourth Voice (closing burst)] I used to dim down just to fit your tone, Laugh at my own grind, play it off on the phone. Act like I ain’t care, like the work meant less, While my chest felt tight, like I’d failed some test. Till one day, mid-set, I just caught that lie, Why I hate on the thing that make my soul fly? I ain’t your villain, I ain’t need your nod, I’m just in love with this sweat and squad. You think I’m selfish ‘cause I chase this pain, I think you scared you could do the same. So keep your cool points, keep your lil’ view, I’ll keep my cage light, that’s my value. [Final Hook / Outro – Fourth Voice, all ad‑libs] You too cool to work hard, that’s fine, I love the grind like I love game time. You throw shame while I throw weight, You make excuses, I just stay late. I don’t work so you think I’m the real deal, I grind ’cause I love how the work makes me feel. You too cool to work hard, that’s you, I’m in love with the reps, not the point of view. (Spoken tag – Fourth Voice) You think I do this ’cause I think I’m special? Nah. I do this ’cause I love it. Try‑hard? Thank you. I worked hard for that.
