Kuumba: I am an AfterWorker

Cool Peeple: for all my after works

Kuumba: the question is are you if so

Cool Peeple: Clock in

Verse 1

Cool Peeple:

Different lanes got different pains no it ain't a game but still I play my part

To leave a mark I gotta take it far I had a broken home that why I break the law

Yea you cool but you not the coldest, my front door had eviction notice

I'm big bro but I'm not the oldest shes closed-minded I'm claustrophobic

Bless my family bless my grind to change ya life you gotta change ya mind

The president ain't trying to stop the crime but he be all in my hood during election time

I pulled up and I backed in steady bringing them racks in

That black in from that black pen I'm just a black man in my black skin

Grew up poor had a life of crime I was in the back now I lead the line

Break the locks I gotta free my time I was a mental slave had to free my mind

Money comin' everybody snitchin' phone tapped everybody listening

Ignore the hate just complete the mission I had to pay my dues I could pay attention

All the corners we spent makin' no money ain't makin' no sense

How you get lost with the paper you spent paying these hoes you ain't paying your rent damn

Cooley fly is what the summer made I was a grown man when I was underage

Trying to shine but they be under shade needed overtime cause I was underpaid Sh@t crazy

Sometimes who you are don’t match what ya do, that’s why I'm making sure who I am matches what I do (2X)

Verse 2

Kuumba:

It feels so good to toot my own horn like ships leaving the port

But it don’t feel good knowing that you're born with talent but playing the wring sport

So I had to contort my current line of work even though it supports the real deal

You don’t wanna stay in a situation that basic so you have to change it real spill

Underdogs hit the play button stay huntin' don’t leave your heat on the shelf

You ain't even gotta say nothing let ya final product speak for itself

I've been working on my sh@t a long time developing a strong mineWorking on my craft

I used to bullsh@t with my own time grazing like a bovine now I'm slicing mountains in half

Catch me round 6:30 you see I have a little grin, cause I just left work and now its time to clock in

Typing lyrics on my phone it used to be my pad and pen

Some folks ain't seen me in a while they ask me where the hell I been

I tell them AfterWorkin I'm an AfterWorker practice is the craft preserver

I'm classic with a fat stick I'm sega arcade afterburner

I can't wait till I'm working full time on my own, till then ill be After Working elevating my zone because
