Puttin In Work

Scrap that one
Been puttin in work
Had a word from the Lord
Been puttin him 1st
But way back before under covers with girls
In the bookies I would blow every penny I’ve earned
Roll on 27
I would stash the cash under the mattress beddin
Boys got messy in the gaff
But would pack their bags
Like they were atlas jettin
If a man would ramp
He’d have a western stand off
And the reaction would be blastin weapons
I couldn’t hack that pressure in a club
With a high that I would pass in seconds
Wanted to brawl with the bouncers
Next door they were caught with the ounces
Born on the council
Man would take it all from the counter
And end up torchin the audi
From day one puttin in work
Off the radar puttin in work
Under the surface puttin in work
Run with a purpose puttin in puttin in (2X)
I’ve been putting in work
Watch this space when rubber hits dirt
Study n learn
Back when I couldn’t rap ish
Don’t care about money
I’d earned 225
Money I’d burn 02s and brothers I’d hurt
Mothers in Church
I’d be out graftin Vac packs white
Just wasn’t concerned
Hustle and surf
Doin it again then shuffle and swerve
Spent 10 years tryna fill that void
But nothin would work
Double my worth
No matter how much cash I’d make
I’d struggle n search no matter
No matter how many birds I’d smash
I couldn’t find love in this world
From day one puttin in work
Off the radar puttin in work
Under the surface puttin in work
Run with a purpose puttin in puttin in (2X)
Been puttin in work
Did bad things but it coulda bin worse
I’m a ship that sinks
I struggle submerged
But with that swim til my body resurfaced
Study my verses
Then try tell me the craft don’t match
When puttin my work in
Then try tell me the graft ain’t math
When the masters runnin my circuits
They dint check me know
They wanna extend me
Love them beg friend tell em not now
Rep the same ends
Watch em go to pen
I chose the pen got it locked down
Boxed out knoc su cow with the hot sound
Ones found watchin the treatment soak
Strong now lost few rounds and I’ve gone down
But I’m now watchin the deepness grow
From day one puttin in work
Off the radar puttin in work
Under the surface puttin in work
Run with a purpose puttin in puttin in (2X)
