[Verse 1]

I'm a workaholic

And I'm losing conscious

Work till days are nights and then I must repeat the process

Can you hear the voices talking?

Don't know how to stop it

All I got are empty pockets and my empty wallet

Don't know who's my target

But I shoot regardless

Even if I miss the mark at least a body's dropping

Limping, I'm barely walking

I'm not about the gossip

So they treat me like I am a martian

Proceed with caution

Knowte has lost it

But I'm getting back in it with brand new ammunition

Sit and listen, pivot positions my lane is never switching

Barely living, fidget my digits the trigger begins to itching

Think of quitting, blow my brains you see my disposition

Do you listen?

No! (Gun Shot)


[Chorus 1]

All I do is work

Even when I'm hurt

Run me to the dirt yeah yeah yeah

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is work

Even when I'm hurt

Run me to the dirt yeah yeah yeah

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is


[Verse 2]

Nothing but obsess

I can't even think or take a step

Without doubt breathing down my neck

So then I rap that I'm the best

But that sounds just like all the rest

So tell me how can I expect to think that

Cause I try my best that I deserve to get the check

So then I work myself to death

I mean I work myself to debt

Spending all I have that's left

Life's a gamble and I'm the bet

There's no guaranteed success

So I'm prepared to risk it all

I can't even prep myself to fall

See me talking to my walls saying...

(Remember that time, you remember that time)

All of your life is nothing but lies

(Set it aside, just set it aside)

Negative vibes enter your mind

(Nothing to try, there's nothing to try)

All of your dreams are beginning to die

(Bills on the rise, you got bills on the rise)

You got payments to kill and freedom to buy so


[Chorus 2]

All I do is work

Even when I'm hurt

Run me to the dirt yeah yeah yeah

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is work

Even when I'm hurt

Run me to the dirt yeah yeah yeah

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is


[Verse 3]

Write until my fingers bleed

Know what I mean?

Over workin's in my family tree

So check the leaves

You don't ever want this disease

Can barely breathe

Before I used to want the industry to mention me

See...

I'm the one who gotta make my own lane

Can't rely on no-one, got no cane

This life it ain't got novocaine

It's all pain with no gain

Know my aim is long range

You hear the bang, it's time to pray

Cause I let it rain and know one's safe

This ain't a game and I'm not okay

Not even safe from myself

But you never can tell

I'm writing from a place to escape from my hell

The same kid you saw stuck in the shell

The lyrics are bars that make up my cell

You're making me yell

Obsess to the point I can't make a move without thinking I'll fail

Fall flat on my face and faking I'm well

So If I start screaming, there's nothing to help


[Chorus 3]

All I do is work

Even when I'm hurt

Run me to the dirt yeah yeah yeah

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is work

Even when I'm hurt

Run me to the dirt yeah yeah yeah

All I do is work

All I do is work

All I do is work


[Outro]

(Work)

(Run me to the dirt.)
