Hard Work

Talking all that bullshit I don't hear it
On another level boy you nowhere near it

Hard work beats talent when talent don't work hard
Played the hand I was dealt no reshuffling these cards
Can't say that I'm the greatest but I'm better than most of y'all
I just put the hours in and it started to pay off
And now I'm cashing the checks
I gave two hundred percent
Yeah yeah now I'm cashing the checks
I benefited from the blood and the sweat
Put in work and never thought about the rest fuck a flex
Aye who you kidding
You been sleeping from the beginning
Boy you wilding and we far from the west
To the city I'll always be in debt

I been at it for years but only just turned on the jets
Used to care who hears was too caught up in my head
I used to keep this shit secret you better believe it
Told myself this shit is fun but boy don't ever release it
Couldn't stop had phantom pain for the fame
I'm just playing I just wanna carve out my own lane
Only ever did my thing
Just wanna go on tour with my boys one time to say I tried thats all I'm saying
And that's honest
Nothing but the truth
I'm sorry
That I had to do it to you
My word is my bond
This debt index keep on rising
I'm owning my shit boy I'm really done hiding

Hard work beats talent when talent don't work hard
Played the hand I was dealt no reshuffling these cards
Can't say that I'm the greatest but I'm better than most of y'all
I just put the hours in and it started to pay off
And now I'm cashing the checks
I gave two hundred percent
Yeah yeah now I'm cashing the checks
I benefited from the blood and the sweat
Put in work and never thought about the rest fuck a flex
Aye who you kidding
You been sleeping from the beginning
Boy you wilding and we far from the west
To the city I'll always be in debt

Never had a gift with the pen I'm just saying
Didn't stop me then don't stop me now I feel amazing
Practice makes perfect it's time for action
I don't need nobody else but me to make it happen
Gotta be strategic I can't show no weakness
They say I'm conceited the bullshit is ceaseless lil bitch
But my conscience still pure
And my values always been secure
Cut away the rot and keep it bumping
Gossiping man get that shit from around me
Boy I know that you ain't got nothing on me
I just keep my focus on the most important only and that's that

Hard work beats talent when talent don't work hard
Played the hand I was dealt no reshuffling these cards
Can't say that I'm the greatest but I'm better than most of y'all
I just put the hours in and it started to pay off
And now I'm cashing the checks
I gave two hundred percent
Yeah yeah now I'm cashing the checks
I benefited from the blood and the sweat
Put in work and never thought about the rest fuck a flex
Aye who you kidding
You been sleeping from the beginning
Boy you wilding and we far from the west
To the city I'll always be in debt
