[Intro: WordPlay T.Jay]
Too confident to stay surrounded by doubt
Could have gave it up but I never would have found out
That I’ve been this dope, my pen games works out
So I’m clocking in, no clocking out
[Hook]
Clocking In, no time for doubts
Stay on the job when them other dudes punch out
Clocking in, no time for doubts
So, I’m clocking in. So I never clock out
[Verse 1: WordPlay T.Jay]
Coming in with the pen game, sketch it out like its hentai
Better bow to the sensei, never mind what your friends say
Not even what your ken say, cause your boy T.Jay getting sick as hell
Shit was a game, I would pick myself
Had you in stores, wouldn’t pick your shelf
Make the whole thing up just to get your wealth
Try to stick to the walls but that shit ain’t felt
Could of used Velcro but that shit doesn’t help
Is it too damn hard just to be yourself?
Treat yourself, got dates on dates on dates
Not fruit but it’s time to hit the stage
My shit needed time to incubate
Work hard so it’s time to get the raise
Chips off no time to hit delays
Know myself so love is all I crave
Flip raps even if it never pays
Do it for Mike Brown and Freddy Gray
Confidence, competence, push culture up, no dominance
Hands on like fondling, gotta orchestrate my prominence, so I’m
[Hook:]
[Verse 2:]
Getting my stance back, now I grit my teeth like a bear trap
Get the whole crew ready like the fair’s back, as I rise on up watch stairs pack
Like mama at work, where the cares at?
As I stock our growth, can’t share that
Pick apart my work, no fair facts, when their own shit is just half ass like:
He don’t use enough metaphors and that nigga sounds too nerdy
He don’t talk about dumb shit and can’t turn it up on my birthday
Cause I’m WordPlay. If you got it all then I wouldn’t be the best
I don’t work this hard to be the rest, didn’t come this far to just digress
I work this hard to be a pest, to everyone that sees my death
Use what I got to make it stretch, and til this day it’s Nothin’ Less
I work this hard to be a pest, to everyone that sees my death
Use what I got to make it stretch, and til this day it’s Nothin’ Less
[Hook:]
[Bridge:]
Hold up, just doing things that they told us
If we never live our dreams out, then we fall like October
Hold up, just doing things that they told us
If we never live our dreams out, then we fall like October
Hold up ain’t doing things that they told us
Grind like they owe us, grind out like Folgers
Hold up ain’t doing things that they told us
Grind like they owe us, grind out like Folgers
