Job Lyrics - Anthony Hamilton

Lords knows I work hard 

But I still gotta stay on my job 

'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off 

Won't stop until the day that I'm a boss 

I know somebody tired of assisted living 

Waking every morning saying "I gotta get it" 

Focus on the paper can give you tunnel vision 

Drug dealing, stacking, flipping just tryna make a living 

Baby shaking on the pole just to make tuition 

Single mommas facing drama so they can feed they children 

Niggas strung out on that dope just cause they had a taste 

And niggas dropping out of school on the paper chase 

Who am I to hate? I ain't judging 'cause I can relate 

Skipping school, getting high, just tryna motivate 

Tryna make it 'til I make it to them pearly gates 

Lost so many of my homies can't face another wake 

Another lost, another cop, another mistake 

Nothing standing in my way 

I went through a hurricane of pain and I'm standing today 

And if you outchea on your grind fuck whoever hate 

Just pay attention and concentrate 

Yeah niggas it's crunch time 

And I'm just tryna eat just like a kid at lunch time 

And if you thought it was joke, it ain't no punchline 

Ain't nothing standing in my way, I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work 

Lords knows I work hard 

But I still gotta stay on my job 

'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off 

Won't stop 'til the day that I'm a boss, yo it's hard work 

Lords knows I work hard 

But I still got to stay on my job 

And I ain't taking no days off 

Won't stop 'til the day it pays off, it's hard work yeah 

Yeah, I'm speaking real so you gon' believe me 

First of all nobody said that it was gon' be easy 

And you don't see the pain, you just see what's on the TV 

When you don't let them keep the change then they call you greedy 

Now they on social media talking greezy 

Would get the guns but my sons and my daughters need me 

I get it off soon as it comes, make your order speedy 

I'm on a hell of a run, I thank the Lord completely 

I'm putting overtime in so I'm sorta sleepy 

And I haven't slept in years so that's sorta creepy 

Gotta beat me fair and square but you ain't gonna cheat me 

Carry the weight of the world on my shoulders weekly 

Blame the universe, that's how the stars work 

Yeah, play your hand that's how the cards work, nah 

Nah, ain't nothing planned, this is God's work 

We working hard 'cause it's hard work 

Yeah niggas it's crunch time 

And I'm just tryna eat just like a kid at lunch time 

And if you thought it was joke, it ain't no punchline 

Ain't nothing standing in my way, I'm 'bout to get mine, it's hard work 

Lords knows I work hard 

But I still gotta stay on my job 

'Cause I ain't tryna get laid off 

Won't stop 'til the day that I'm a boss, yo it's hard work 

Lords knows I work hard 

But I still got to stay on my job 

And I ain't taking no days off 

Won't stop 'til the day it pays off, it's hard work yeah 

It's hard work, yeah 

It's hard, it's hard work, yeah 

It's hard work, yeah 

It's hard, it's hard work, yeah
