[Intro — high energy immediate drop] No excuses. No shortcuts. No days off. Let’s go. [Verse 1] I came here to work not to wish not to wonder Came here to split every obstacle asunder Nobody in the stands nobody keeping score Just me and the ball and this hardwood floor Jab step, drive, finish through contact Rise up in traffic never losing my balance This is more than a game this is a lifestyle Every shot I take I’m running my own trial [Pre-Chorus] They said I wasn’t ready They said I wasn’t built They said a lot of things That I turned into fuel [Chorus] Watch me work Watch me rise Watch me build something right before your eyes Watch me grind Watch me grow Watch me become everything they said I’d never know Watch me Watch me Watch me work [Verse 2] Pick and roll, slip the screen, catch the pass Read the defense like I’m reading through glass Hesitation, go, finish left hand Strong side weak side I understand The language of this game the rhythm of this floor I been studying this my whole life and I want more Footwork, positioning, angles and space Every detail matters — I’m locking in my place [Pre-Chorus] They said I wasn’t ready They said I wasn’t built They said a lot of things That I turned into fuel [Chorus] Watch me work Watch me rise Watch me build something right before your eyes Watch me grind Watch me grow Watch me become everything they said I’d never know Watch me Watch me Watch me work [Bridge — raw and intense] Every person who doubted Every room I walked into quiet Every time I was overlooked Every time they passed me by I stored it I saved it I filed every single one And now I’m here on this floor And I’m just getting started son [Verse 3] Cool down lap but I’m still mentally locked Walking the floor but my focus never stopped Reviewing every move I made today What I’d do different what I’d do the same Because improvement is the goal not perfection Growth is the standard not someone else’s reflection I’m competing with the man I was yesterday And that man gets better every single day [Extended Chorus] Watch me work Watch me rise Watch me build something right before your eyes Watch me grind Watch me grow Watch me become everything they said I’d never know Watch me Watch me Watch me work Work Work Work [Outro — fading with intensity] This is the work. This is the answer. To every doubt. To every no. To every closed door. Watch me work.
