WORK TOO HARD

I put my blood, sweat and tears up in this music shit
I been doing this shit for years and I ain't gon quit
I was searching for a place where I can go and vent
I felt the instant connection with these instruments
Then I met a couple friends notepad and pen
That was way back then when I was prolly ten
They was always by my side when I was holding it in
And that made me feel good I started honing in
I was putting shots so I can make my shit better
People started doubting me I had to storm the weather
No matter what they said I had to keep my shit together
I'm taking all my feelings and I'm putting it in a letter
Like. uh I don't care who gets the message
If you take a loss you can turn it to a lesson
Then you take that lesson and you flip it to a blessing
I'm teaching you the things I wish I learned at adolescents
Surrounded by the drugs, gangbanging thugs
Them crips and them bloods, they rip shit with slugs
A misfit I was, cause I didn't fit in yeah
Behind from the start, but I'm going for the win yeah
You know it's real shit when it's coming from within
Life be throwing punches but I'm taking it on the chin
I'm moving and I'm dodging it, find my spot and boxing it
Swinging till I'm knocking it, Rocky how I'm rocking it
Cause I worked too hard for this
And ima keep shooting shots if I miss
And I'm doing it for the art and the love
And I'm tryna find peace from above
Cause I worked too hard for this
And ima keep shooting shots if I miss
And I'm doing it for the art and the love
And I'm tryna find peace from above
I ain't worried what they say, I got money in the safe
Man I worked for this place, I ain't never lose faith
I thank God that I made it this far
It builds character when you emotionally scarred
Surrounded by the frauds, the gold digging broads
I swear life is harder when you going against the odds
You going against the grain, you breaking all the chains
Generational trauma so you feeling all of the pain
I lost my fucking cousin dawg to a Kurt Cobain
I wish I could've been there for him and tell em shit'll change
Life is fucking hard man, ain't no doubt about it
My vision probably blurry cause my mind is getting clouded
Now we taking all those clouds and turn them into ounces yeah
Nothing is impossible we moving all of these mountains yeah
I'm counting all this cash, I don't need an accountant yeah
I do it on my own cause your boy is well rounded yeah
Cause I worked too hard for this
And ima keep shooting shots if I miss
And I'm doing it for the art and the love
And I'm tryna find peace from above
Cause I worked too hard for this
And ima keep shooting shots if I miss
And I'm doing it for the art and the love
And I'm tryna find peace from above
