Work Real Hard
by JohnO, Swoope, Jackie Hill Perry

Album: We Go On

Intro
Oh, until they work real hard
Woah, until they work real hard
For being proud of their success
Until they work real hard
Means everything to me
Being the very best, oh
Oh, but can't you see?
Until they work real hard

Verse 1: Swoope
Uh, I was supposed to have it all by twenty-five
Been figured out the call that's been on my life
Big pimping, I'm the boy with the fly wife
Six figures just to ball in a high rise
Big boss dog, what's a nine-to-five?
Whip flossed up, where do I sign?
Name your favorite fine wine baby I'm buying
Every place, I'm flyin' all over your timeline
Losing ground, focus on my sky miles
Only thing flying is the time, huh? Man
Twenty-five turned to thirty-five
And taught me releasin' hella classics ain't a sturdy job
If they don't see my worth, is You still a worthy God?
If I knew it wouldn't work out, would I still work this hard, uh?
(Until they work real hard)
Memories of my dreams rolling down my cheek, I taste 'em
So it's salt every time I speak, I'm wastin'
All these thoughts, tryna find my peak, I'm chasin'
Windy nightmares down my street, I'm Jason
When did nightmares climb out my sleep
And place themselves in my face to replace themselves
I'd hate to sell you pipe dreams, rather be blunt
All my searchin' for worth and workin' was a fallacy, huh? (Until they work real hard)
The cookie crumbled, and silly me, I got mad at the crumbs
Anything to deflect from the fact I'm mad at the sun
That's arrogant, huh, to think that He'd be bad at His job
Of plannin' results, wished I lived in a mansion or somethin'
God, I work real hard (Until they work real hard)

Refrain: Jackie Hill Perry
Yeah
(Until they work real hard
For being proud of their success)
Uh

Verse 3: Jackie Hill Perry
He made the heavens and the Earth
He told the dirt to breathe then He gave it work until the seventh
Then He rested
But I'm restless, steady wrestlin'
Triple H, holy holy holy, work was best when
It wasn't so attached to identity, the portrait
The trinity and corporate report, it's not a spirit
I'm tired of feelin', if I don't get it
This girl world stop spinnin', the clock tickin', I'm workin' to death
I'm clocked out, I'm shootin' shots, got boxed out
You pot mouth, he cursed ground, you dig it, don't you?
You feel naked without success, too many fix to flaunt you
Won't take it when you go, this ghost money haunt you (Oh, until they work real hard)
This ghost money haunt you

Outro
Oh, until they work real hard
For being proud of their success
Oh, until they work real hard
Means everything to me
Indeed the very best
Oh
