Working Hard

I've been putting my heart into my work I've been working on myself, yeah
I've been working on myself
Uh
We may be similar, maybe not I don't know if you know me
I just need you to know I'm working on expressing the whole me

I've been working, working I've been working real hard
I've been working, I've been working Working real hard
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
Make sure whole me comes out from the start
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
I've been working, I've been working Working real hard
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
Make sure whole me comes out from the start

This is something that weighs heavy On every part of my heart
No matter how good you are at expressing Being vulnerable is hard
I've progressed and I've practiced Lord knows I'm far from my limit
But what happens when being skilled becomes a tactic
A defense mechanism I get upset when folks tell me they don't get it
What am I doing to be less cryptic
I used to say I can't relate to shit That's why music and I had such a great relationship
That was a mantra for me For a time in life a song I could belt
But what good's my music if I'm not working On my relationship with myself

I've been working, working I've been working real hard
I've been working, I've been working Working real hard
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
Make sure whole me comes out from the start
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
I've been working, I've been working Working real hard
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
Make sure whole me comes out from the start

Did you have fun? Were you yourself
Were you authentic
Well then whatever happened, was a victory Move on to the next shit
Practice makes progress
And all kinds of things I like to say
I gotta check myself and make sure the medicine I'm spitting comes back round my way
Mental health should be the first thing at the top
But I've been too focused on trying to climb back up
After every single time I drop
Fuck, I'm just trying to keep it real
100, 100 that's a buck
A buck is a Benji
But Benji won't be helping me if I'm emotionally stuck
Through the pressure
The stressors
The effort
Depression
Second guessing
Feeling like I'm lesser
I've been trying to keep it all positive
But that's not all there is
I've been building a force field
Trying to force what I feel

I've been working, working I've been working real hard
I've been working, I've been working Working real hard
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
Make sure whole me comes out from the start
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
I've been working, I've been working Working real hard
I've been working, working I've been working real hard
WHOLE. MOTHER. FUCKING. ME

I'm just trying to improve how I do what I do
To make sure how I speak is how I move
