[Intro - Call Me Ace]

Yea

High Grade

I’ma do the–

Yo one thing ‘bout me

Yea


[Chorus - Call Me Ace]

I’ma do the work

Even when I’m tired was trained to be a fighter

So even when I’m hurtin’

I’ma do the work

Boss want me fired recruiter want me hired

I’m still the same person

I’ma do the work

Leave the past behind me the future’s where you’ll find me

Cause one thing’s for certain

I’ma do the work

The same ones that doubt me’s the first ones to vouch me

Cause one thing about me

I’ma do the work


[Verse - Call Me Ace]

Ain’t no alternatives the name of the game is survival

Gotta circle this underline it

Internalized since a youth how I been programmed

To view the world through to get through

Cabin pressure all the effort we invested in the grind compounding

Now we shinin’ haters blind to the truth

We don’t fault ‘em tho

Barely see ‘em that’s a truth we want ‘em all to know

We way too busy growin’ from Johannesburg to Baltimore

They say what we been cookin’ is impossible

But me I’m still a carnivore sorry to my vegans

Walkin’ boldly in the light like sorry to my heathens

Praise the Lord in every season even when there ain’t no reason

I was born and raised in hell still tho ain’t no pessimist

Demonstrating excellence but I ain’t no perfectionist

Conscious of my blemishes I use ‘em as my lessons

And they use me for they referrals and references cause

I been doin’ the work


[Chorus - Call Me Ace]

Even when I’m tired was trained to be a fighter

So even when I’m hurtin’

I’ma do the work

Boss want me fired recruiter want me hired

I’m still the same person

I’ma do the work

Leave the past behind me the future’s where you’ll find me

Cause one thing’s for certain

I’ma do the work

The same ones that doubt me’s the first ones to vouch me

Cause one thing about me

I’ma do the work


[Verse - Mike Mitch]

Can’t get it done nobody care for excuses

I’m in my bag for certain when I clock and recoup it

And you can see I’m in a different realm with the music

So I’ll be foolish not to use it and lose it

That’s in regards to my talent

So picture me without my ethic

A workaholic put in effort and it’s always epic

I shine regardless through the darkness and my imperfections

I second guess sh- it’s my essence still do first impressions

I put my best foot forward greatness heading toward

My brothers I’m on tour with

Cause all this work is workin’ for me

Moments I’m unsure if I got reassurance

Find myself explorin’ was it worth it things we warrant

If we look at where we come from and all the things that we did

From every hand that we get

We just made it work for us it’s beautiful

I’d rather go to weddings than to funerals

Just hope you celebrate me through the work


[Chorus - Call Me Ace]

Even when I’m tired was trained to be a fighter

So even when I’m hurtin’

I’ma do the work

Boss want me fired recruiter want me hired

I’m still the same person

I’ma do the work

Leave the past behind me the future’s where you’ll find me

Cause one thing’s for certain

I’ma do the work

The same ones that doubt me’s the first ones to vouch me

Cause one thing about me

I’ma do the work
