WORKIN MAN (Tryna Get To Dis Money) [INTRO] Yeah... Ain't nobody hand me shit, I had to work for mine. Day after day, night after night... I'm just a workin' man, (grind after grind) Tryna get to dis money. [VERSE 1] Alarm clock ring, already baked and awake, a dream in my chest - overdue bill in my face. Steel-toe boots with the dust of my life in the lace, Whole lotta pressure I still can't break...ey ain't chasing fame, ain't begging for clout, tryna build somethin that my family can count. E'erybody love the sjine til the money don't come out, wasn't in the trenches, talkin bout you was down when i was out. Punch in, punch out, I hustle for some moh, Back hurting, perc-assertin I'm headed out the doh Got responsibilities I can't no more ignore, So I keep my head down and keep scrapin for the score. They see the paycheck, don't see what it cost, Don't see all the sleep or the mind that a mu-fuk-uh lost. Don't see the sacrifices, every line that I have crossed, I'm just tryna get ahead without getting myself lost. [PRE-CHORUS] I ain't got no time for the shit, got the goal on my mind. If I set it, I'mma get it, I'm takin E'ERYTHIN' what's mine. Rain, sleet, snow, I steady stay on the grind. Ain't nobody coming, so - I'm just working overtime. [CHORUS] just a workin' man, Tryna get to dis money. Tryna make sure nothin's funny About keepin my pockets right, son.. I'm just a workin' man, nobody gotta understand....me. been grindin all my life, Tryna turn these wrongs to right ...dollars change to something heavy. just a workin' man, see... man, I'm ain't chasin that paper. Work tomorrow's caper, so I can see something greater. I'm just a workin' man, scars on my hands...medic-aided bands stop the bled so I can just do whatever the fuck I can. [VERSE 2] done learned life ain't free, Every blessing got a price attached to the fee. is everybody's advice, ain't noone got keys, an everyone wants a slice so I'm plantin my seeds and I ain't rollin no dice on this... cause I got mouths to feed and dreams to weed not to mention i Got people thats depending on me. Ain't perfect (hell nah) but there ain't shit I regret, cause I wake up every morning with a self i respect. (respect echoes) look at everybody fightin for another check don't need applause...don't need your validation, I'm working on a future that'll change this whole equation. you can laugh at the grind, question my patience and my mind I'm building something bigger than your simple mind could EVER define...BITCH [CHORUS - harder version] just a workin' man, Tryna get to dis money. Tryna make sure nothin's funny About keepin my pockets right, son.. I'm just a workin' man, nobody gotta understand....me. been grindin all my life, Tryna turn these wrongs to right ...dollars change to something heavy. just a workin' man, see... man, I'm ain't chasin that paper. Work tomorrow's caper, so I can see something greater. I'm just a workin' man, scars on my hands...medic-aided bands stop the bled so I can just do whatever the fuck I can. [ABSTRACT BREAK for 2 bars] [abstract breakdown for 2 bars] [FINAL CHORUS] just a workin' man, Tryna get to dis money. Tryna make sure nothin's funny About keepin my pockets right, son.. I'm just a workin' man, nobody gotta understand....me. been grindin all my life, Tryna turn these wrongs to right ...dollars change to something heavy. just a workin' man, see... man, I'm ain't chasin that paper. Work tomorrow's caper, so I can see something greater. I'm just a workin' man, scars on my hands...medic-aided bands stop the bled so I can just do whatever the fuck I can.
