(Drifting on a memory)
(Ain't no place I'd rather be then with you, yeah)
(Loving you, well well well)
We're making that dosh
Hard yakka with no days off
Put on the high-vis shirt with the steel cap boots
This grind ain't never gone stop
Chasing that paper
Hold it down for my usos out there breaking their backs
Tryna put food on table
While save up money so the family can just kick back
Look
I be out on the 9 to 5 like a hooker just passed to the winger
It's a pretty tough grind
But right oh mind if it means I feed the aiga
I gotta sweat for this cheque and then rep for this set
On the mic I'm the best never regret say less
I'm blessed not stressed and no I wont rest
I gotta pay the B, I, double L, S
This job is no choice
But to make the money is a must
Gotta work hard for your coin
Cause everybodies got hands out like stoppin a bus
Cause I'm just tryna stay focused
I wanna live up to the words I've spoken
I'll admit sometimes in my life I'm broke
But spirit will never be broken
Cause I was taught to work hard, play hard
Only you can manage your life
So you gotta grind hard, play smart
And I guarantee you'll be right
(Work hard, play hard, only you can manage your life)
(So you gotta grind hard, play smart and I guarantee you'll be right)
Aye
Wake up in the morning I got money on my mind
I be out here breaking backs so that my paper stays in line
It's my time, have to shine
Ain't nobody gonna stop my grind
You wont ever see me rewind
Pick up the paste don't waste no time
I'm puttin in work
I got faith in my dream like a seed
That's probably why I came from the dirt
So before I gotta make it
I gotta keep patient and work in a warehouse first
A little bit of hard yakka wont hurt
So let's chase that cheque even, if I gotta sweat
I just wanna fill up mum's purse
So don't you ever judge the ones that's tryna get to that dosh
Tell em get lost
Cause we're, workin
Don't ever tell me that I don't have purpose
I be out here tryna put that work in
So my brother doesn't have to be urgin
My sisters can go on excursions
And so my dad's back won't be hurtin
So Mum doesn't have to worry about a purchase
I gotta be at my families service
When I wake up
High-vis on, steel caps laced up
Can't afford to get no paycut
Gotta lay a foundation like makeup
Feel like a drive pick cause I'm tryna make bucks
Like Giannis
Next goal is the MVP
For now I'm in a factory for my family
I'm grinding cause they need me
(Aye)
We're makin that dosh
Hard yakka with no day's off
Put on the high-vis shirt with the steel cap boots
This grind ain't never gone stop
Chasing that paper
Hold it down for my usos out there breaking their backs
Tryna put food on table
While save up money so the family can just kick back
Aye, I be out on the 6 to 6
Like the time is 5:54
See my incomes fine
My fam don't mind
But my heart is saying give me more
Now I be, full time in the booth
Hoppin on the mic making tracks for the youth
Yeah I live a good life now
But never will you see me forget all the things I've been through
I'm talkin about working hard and putting in for myself
Tryna keep a good work ethic
And that still remains, my life switched lanes
But I still maintain the same ethic
So don't lose that faith
Even though your slavin away my uso, I'll back ya
Cause at the end of the day
Everybodies got a lane
But we still keep up the hard yakka
(Ah)
(Ain't no place I'd rather be then with you, yeah)
(Loving you, well well well)
We're making that dosh
