I tell that man I gotta… WORK! WORK! Damn right I gotta work just to take away the hurt from my turf where we really ain't got no jobs Bullet rounds stay getting sprayed, plus niggas here stay getting robbed Carolina born and I'm raised but we going through a phase where its almost time to mob My people they just really trying to eat but in these Carolina streets it ain't no Corn up on the Cob Lack of education leading to a lack of skills, Hyperinflation leading to a stack of bills Grandma died she ain't even left a will, product of the stress that come from working in the fields Hard to take the pain if you know just how it feels, but can't even see the Doctor without getting plenty Pills If this is a description of your prescription then Crack ain't the only thing Kills If I listen to my teacher she'll tell me it's a test, listen to my conscious he'll tell me it's a mess Should I still feel blessed when its no progress, part of me says NO other half says YES Pardon me my flow seems so upset, gotta push it down your Throat just to Digest Real Shit going on but I Digress, check them unemployment stats we the highest But do we gotta be? In this economy, Mr. President, Mr. Romney Where my jobs at?…don't lie to me, good citizens yeah we try to be, but still we gotta eat Within a system where we marginalized The land of the free to me seems all a disguise The buffet ain't "All You Can Eat" to my surprise But since it's hard to "KETCHUP" I guess I'll order the FRIES I GOTTA WORK Hook Too many people gamble can't really place bets Funny COLD world have you BREAKING out in SWEATS But I can't take BREAKS, all I do is BREAK SWEATS Trying to Chase SWEEPSTAKES that I really can't catch Then avoid CHEAPSKATES for a pretty great Stretch And avoid CHEESECAKE do a lil more Stretch But ignore these things probably see more debt Pray the world go change still ain't changed yet, (not really) Only except for when you talk about Technology Mix it in with the same Psychology These the craziest of times I know it got to be December outside still hot to me 9-11 Always sounded like a plot to me BULLSEYE its not a game a RED DOT to me You don't like me it don't matter it don't bother me These are observations coming from a prodigy If I don't find the combination guess I'm locking you in Showing ya'll what time it is by clocking you in Cause when it comes to people closest to me by my side Please know its guaranteed that I'm go ride 24 slash 7 not a 9 to 5 That's the hours of the occupation Staying alive A Dog eat Dog world everyone can't survive Why my community the only one that's lacking supplies We done made it through everything from slavery to hurricanes But maybe the hurt and pain can leave from this dirty game And prove to me certain thangs can make any person change It's cool to see perfect lanes pursuing your purpose mane I know what I gotta be therefore no one can lie to me, I'm so tired of being poverty's flirt I'm looking for BENEFITS while enjoying the PERKS so I can chill on the PURP if its affecting my PURSE I gotta WORK HOOK (3x)
