I've been working way too long
Way, way too long
If I could play this song
Play, play this song
For all the names that are on
Name, names that are on
Then maybe they can feel it too
My work ethic is way too strong
Way, way too strong
I'll give my praise til I'm gone
Praise, praise til I'm gone
I'll live my days how I want
And I won't let nobody tell me otherwise
Smokin' on this j, takin' it day by day
I'm proud to say I'm doing this s my way
Yeah, I'm okay, got my woman, got my fam
Trying to stack up on my happiness and paper, that's the plan
Gotta hand it to the man upstairs, didn't know you really cared
Can't see you in the air, but I know, but I know you're there
My heart is heavy and my brain is ready
My finger's itchin' on the trigger but I hold it steady
Plenty of the time I'm thinkin' way too far
Don't you focus on acceptance, just accept who you are
All these voices in my head and that's the one I wanna be
If it's love you want then ask about me
I've been working way too long
Way, way too long
If I could play this song
Play, play this song
For all the names that are on
Name, names that are on
Then maybe they can feel it too
My work ethic is way too strong
Way, way too strong
I'll give my praise til I'm gone
Praise, praise til I'm gone
I'll live my days how I want
And I won't let nobody tell me otherwise
I'm only 25, still got so much time
I'm patient with my grind, I've been feelin' fine
Sippin' wine with a blondie and she tends to get up on me
At all hours of the night, she's the reason I'm alright
Level headed, it never felt so good to say it
I don't need to see her naked to know she's mine for the taking
Heart's are too hard for breaking, we know life is what we make it
I don't got no time to waste livin' a life that's too complacent
I've been facing my fears, trying to grow through it all
Got my people behind me to hold that weight if I fall
And every one of them knows how much goes into this craft
They're the reason that I'll get it all back, they know
I've been working way too long
Way, way too long
If I could play this song
Play, play this song
For all the names that are on
Name, names that are on
Then maybe they can feel it too
My work ethic is way too strong
Way, way too strong
I'll give my praise til I'm gone
Praise, praise til I'm gone
I'll live my days how I want
And I won't let nobody tell me otherwise
So thankful I made it through tragedy
But this road wasn't traveled so happily
I had foes, I had friends that we're mad at me
But it never reached the fatal point of counting casualties
I'm grateful for what you take for granted
I ain't hateful but some days it gets hard to stand it
You can panic or progress, whatever you think is best
As long as you hit that goal that takes away the pain and stress
No, you don't deserve this, I swear that you're worth it
Succeeding doesn't mean that everything will be perfect
Just hold on, I'll be there even when your hope's gone
We can make it out
I've been working way too long
Way, way too long
If I could play this song
Play, play this song
For all the names that are on
Name, names that are on
Then maybe they can feel it too
My work ethic is way too strong
Way, way too strong
I'll give my praise til I'm gone
Praise, praise til I'm gone
I'll live my days how I want
And I won't let nobody tell me otherwise
