Jadakiss, August Alsina, Anthony Hamilton - Job lyrics

Lords knows I work hard
But I still gotta stay on my job
'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
Won't stop until the day that I'm a boss

I know somebody tired of assisted livin'
Wakin' every mornin' sayin'
"I gotta get it"
Focus on the paper can give you tunnel vision
Drug dealin', stackin'
Flippin' just tryna make a livin'
Baby shakin' on the pole
Just to make tuition
Single mommas facin' drama so they
Can feed they children
Niggas strung out on that dope just
'cause they had a taste
And niggas droppin' out of school
On the paper chase
Who am I to hate? I ain't
Judgin' 'cause I can relate
Skippin' school, gettin' high
Just tryna motivate
Just tryna make it 'til I make
It to them pearly gates
Lost too many homies
Can't face another wake
Another loss, another cop, another mistake
Nothin' stand in my way
I went through a hurricane of
Pain and I'm standin' today
And if you outchea on your grind
Fuck whoever hate
Just pay attention and concentrate

Yeah nigga, it's crunch time
And I'm just tryna eat just like
A kid at lunch time
And if you thought it was joke
It ain't no punchline
Ain't nothin' standin' in my way
I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work

Lords knows I work hard
But I still gotta stay on my job
'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
Won't stop 'til the day that
I'm a boss, yo, it's hard work
Lords knows I work hard
But I still got to stay on my job
And I ain't taking no days off
Won't stop 'til the day it
Pays off, it's hard work, yeah

Yeah, I'm speakin' real so
You gon' believe me first of all
Nobody said that it was gon' be easy
And you don't see the pain
You just see what's on the TV
When you don't let them keep the change
Then they call you greedy
Now they all on social media talkin' greezy
Would get the guns but my sons
And my daughters need me
I get it off soon as it comes
Make your order speedy
I'm on a hell of a run
I thank the Lord completely
I'm puttin' overtime in
So I'm sorta sleepy
And I haven't slept in years
So that's sorta creepy
Gotta beat me fair and square but
You ain't gonna cheat me
Carry the weight of the world
On my shoulders weekly blame the universe
That's how the stars work
Yeah, play your hand that's
How the cards work
Nah, ain't nothin' planned
This is God's work
Uh, we workin' hard 'cause it's hard work

Yeah nigga, it's crunch time
And I'm just tryna eat just like
A kid at lunch time
And if you thought it was joke
It ain't no punchline
Ain't nothin' standin' in my way
I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work

Lords knows I work hard
But I still gotta stay on my job
'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off
Won't stop 'til the day that
I'm a boss, yo, it's hard work
Lords knows I work hard
But I still got to stay on my job
And I ain't taking no days off
Won't stop 'til the day it
Pays off, it's hard work, yeah

It's hard work, yeah
It's hard, it's hard work, yeah
It's hard work, yeah
It's hard, it's hard work, yeah
