lyrics

Bridge--
I've been putting all this work in
If you don't see me out here, then I'm working
They say I'm well up on my way, and I deserve it
But when you get to the top make sure it's worth it
Is it worth it

Verse-
I don't know, in a sense, My success been so innocent
So juvenile, not big enough, Need bigger goals, need better stuff
Need better shows, need better clothes Apparently, I been looking rough
Need better, hold up, they don't know much
I got the light, I just need the glow up
Lately I been feeling like the dope dealer
Cooking up greatness, yeah you know that I'm a go getter
The tracks the gun, lyrics the bullets, I'm a cold killer
Putting this work in these streets
'cause when I eat, we all eat (yeah yeah yeah)
Lately I been feeling like the dope dealer
Cooking up greatness, yeah you know that I'm a go getter
The tracks the gun, lyrics the bullets, I'm a cold killer
Putting that work in these streets
'cause when I eat, we all eat

Verse-
So set the table, set your plate, set the scene, set it off, But let me set one thing straight
You might think you working harder But I be working smarter
I don't do the dumb shit, see I delegate,
While you small time moving, like you riding in a fiat
Trying to use bigger words than T.I.
Oh best believe I, been putting work in since I was knee high Got you staring hard like a PI,
I guess you trying to see how I been building the bankroll
While you pulling pesos, I'm divvying the payroll
Same old, is what you been getting from these lamos,
Plain Jane's, all doing the same thing I'm trying to change thing
Hear what I'm saying, I'm trying to Maintain the mainframe and make it, Without the fake shit, The movements so basic
I'm working to control how I move through the matrix

Bridge--
I've been putting all this work in
If you don't see me out here, then I'm working
They say I'm well up on my way, and I deserve it
But when you get to the top make sure it's worth it
Is it worth it

Hook-
Lately I been feeling like the dope dealer
Cooking up greatness, yeah you know that I'm a go getter
The tracks the gun, lyrics the bullets, I'm a cold killer
Putting this work in these streets
'cause when I eat, we all eat (yeah yeah yeah)
Lately I been feeling like the dope dealer
Cooking up greatness, yeah you know that I'm a go getter
The tracks the gun, lyrics the bullets, I'm a cold killer
Putting that work in these streets
'cause when I eat, we all eat
