Work Lyrics

Progress is the result of strategy plus action

That action must be early

That action must be consistent

And that action must be sustained

I ain't willing to be good if I ain't willing to be bad

I ain't willing to be first if I ain't willing to be last

If I ain't willing to dig dirt I can't have harvest in my plans

That's silly little rabbit don't play tricks on your hand

I'm tryna live my purpose and follow the Son of Man

But sometimes I get lost and I'm stuck in a dark land

Ashamed in a spiral of things that's off brand

Gotta get back to my focus and outta the quicksand

God saved my soul but my money gotta do myself

The way I spend my time is the ultimate measure of wealth

Hey, yeah find you an interest

Ain't nobody lying when they say it's a distance

I'm down for the journey though

One foot in front of other got it turning slow

Momentum bout to get it though

Anybody get in my way I'mma be praying for

Where the work at

I'm just tryna make it

Man I'm done tryna fake it

It's been way to complicated

Where the work at

I just gotta face it

No time for being jaded

Man I'm humble like I'm naked

Where the work at

I'm just tryna make it

Man I'm done tryna fake it

It's been way to complicated

Where the work at

I just gotta face it

No time for being jaded

Man I'm humble like I'm naked

I ain't never been a hater at least not to extreme

I'm a human being imperfect is what it mean

Had a fair share of failure muddy my self esteem

Tried to wring clean but stains led me to the king

I'm tryna live my purpose and grow to a better man

But sometimes I get lost and I'm stuck making the plan

Ashamed in the effort it takes to just stand

Gotta get back to my feet and remember the way I ran

God saved my soul but the things I eat affect my health

Time to stop playin' wit it put the cake back on the shelf

Hey, yeah write you a hit list

Sometimes we subtract and find we gain on our wish list

I'm down for the journey though

One foot in front of other got it turning slow

Momentum bout to get it though

Anybody get in my way I'mma be praying for

Where the work at

I'm just tryna make it

Man I'm done tryna fake it

It's been way to complicated

Where the work at

I just gotta face it

No time for being jaded

Man I'm humble like I'm naked

Where the work at

I'm just tryna make it

Man I'm done tryna fake it

It's been way to complicated

Where the work at

I just gotta face it

No time for being jaded

Man I'm humble like I'm naked

To quote the late great Nipsey Hussle

It ain't supposed to feel comfortable

It's supposed to be uncomfortable

It's supposed to stretch you

It's supposed to be a burden to a degree

You have to wrap your mind around that

Accept it and embrace it
