[Intro]

Yeah

Let me talk to y'all for a second

[Verse 1]

First off, let me say I have respect

For all the 9-5'ers that be slavin' for a check

I used to be that little motherfucker at Panera Bread

Washin' dirty dishes prayin' for another pair of legs

I was standin' eight hours at a time

With a nice hot shower on my mind, man that's all I wanted

I learned a lot workin' with a bunch of convicted felons

I'm talkin' real OGs that'll split your melon

But as time passed, we all got mad cool

They heard my first tape and said I was "that dude"

I still remember havin' minor problems at school

This big motherfucker followed me to work, went berserk

Butt hurt cause I shit on his whole rap crew

My co-workers said "he ain't gonna attack you, unless he tryin' to fade me"

And we could get it G

And if not, you should let it be, homie I work

[Hook (x2)]

They sayin' "yo, where the hell you been"?

I ain't seen you in a minute damn, now you got a Benz

Now you got a crib, shit how you get them ends?

Damn son, yo I thought that we was friends

Homie I work

[Verse 2]

In '07, me and Rai was workin' Patty's Pizza

About a year before I started slangin' bags of reefer

Yeah and we ain't know nothin' bout cookin'

So these dudes had to teach us and we wasn't really slackin' neither

In the beginnin', we was supposed to be deliverin'

But that fell through and I think it was deliberant

Yeah, probably cause we acted like some big clowns

Showin' up late and givin' everybody discounts

Man, I probably took a pizza home every night

I got some crazy shit, yeah I tried every type

I swear the place was losin' money, shit they had to

I was straight loungin' on my phone up in the bathroom

That's until this one chick went and snitched on us

Showed her true colors, turned into a bitch on us

But I ain't got no regrets, I had a lot of fun

Eatin' good and stackin' 'til our pockets numb

Homie I work

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

I was makin' dirty money for a while

Shit is wild, if I told you about the drama goin' down

But I'm proud to say I caught a break in 2008

Started workin' at the label, learned about the game

Yeah, I had braces at the time

So I know they wouldn't never take me serious as an artist

Instead I built relationships and stayed up on the grind

And armed myself with knowledge that I couldn't learn in college, uh

But I still went to school, I had that ambition

And when I graduated, boy I made that transition

Strictly music 'til I make it

And when I say "make it" I ain't stoppin' 'til the world see my damn vision

Come to life, I ain't one to quit

I never blame nobody else cause I ain't damn sure the one to bitch

So tell the haters they can suck a dick

I ain't gonna stop 'til we fuckin' rich

Homie I work

[Hook]
