[Swoope - Work lyrics]
(Knock knock knock)
"You may enter you are not Akeem"
"I know that" "What is this McDowell's?"
"A place over on Queens Boulevard
I think he works there" "My son works?"
Y'all know we live as kings, G
Feeling like Akeem out here
All I had was a dollar and a dream
But that royalty don't stop us from working
All I had was a dollar and a dream
Wasn't looking for the fame, just
A student of the game, no team
When I didn't have a deal, wasn't
Tryin' to pay the bills, my queen
Imani behind me
She was telling me to do my thing
Keep your eyes on the finish line
And the Lord will replenish, when it's time
So I'm looking at this pen of mine
Feeling like spitting rhymes
Killing mics like it's dinner time
Work, them long nights in that basement
They hurt (Hurt)
In my momma's house couldn't pay rent
But what's worse (Worse)
Working for what's heaven sent
Or feeling like hell cuz you never did?
So yeah, my bank account countin' was low
I'm drowning but can't keep
My countenance low
The hills are them thousands that
Them cows is on
Belong to my Father so I'll never want
I'll never need
Begging for bread won't be me
Cuz I am a seed, excuses are useless
Tools that the fools pick
Only got one shot but it
Feels like a full clip
Work, so what I got to be afraid of?
Let's work
I'm here with the God of Isaac and Jacob
Let's work, His image is what I'm made from
Let's work
It's time to eat so pass me a plate bruh
Hungry, I'm on Esau level
Working till I'm coming up on Eshon level
Was down but I'm on coming up on seesaw level
Staying on pace, playing no games
Feel like I can beat all levels
Beats all special
Tell 'em that I'm coming up
On each y'all level
Living like a king all level
I told God "send me
" I'm feeling Akeem's dog level
Everybody got an excuse
Find out what yours is and stop using it
Let's work "My son works? Where is he now?"
"I don't know he moved
Downstairs apartment 1A" (knock knock knock)
"You may enter you are not Akeem"
"I know that" "What is this McDowell's?"
"A place over on Queens Boulevard
I think he works there" "My son works?"
Y'all know we live as kings, G
Feeling like Akeem out here
All I had was a dollar and a dream
But that royalty don't stop us from working
All I had was a dollar and a dream
