Work lyrics
by Rare of Breed
[Intro]
Uh, Godtwang
The Lord's at it again
Ayy, the Lord’s at it again, come on
Already
The Lord's at it again
Yeah, the Lord's at it again
[Verse 1]
Now what you know about this melting pot of people from the streets to the farms?
They said I’d never make it, hate to break it to you, you wrong
Was addicted to certain things, residue on my palms
Then I met Jesus, got delivered and He brought me on home
Y'all knew the album was coming, I really hope you were ready
I make music for the broken, I know the burdеns are heavy
They drop thе beat, no hesitation, I'ma flow like Broken Ladies
Down south, hit the gas, burn the track, Richard Petty
Why these rappers blow they money on the wash to make a statement?
I'ma make it, take it, save it, let it spread on '28
'Cause Mama said that I was special, I just had to let 'em know
This is ten years in the making so don't hate me when it grows
They ask me, "What you do for work?", I said, "I rap, it’s not a hobby"
Hear the Gospel, it’ll hit your senses harder than wasabi
Bring the Truth on every song, others bend it like pilates
One of a kind, I was created by God, you'll never find a copy, uh
They said, "Boy, you cooked", well, my Grandma got the recipe
Told me never stop until I leave a family legacy
Almost dropped the ball and let depression get the best of me
I guess that’s what happens when you running from the deputies
Oh, I been redeemed, was guilty, now I'm forgiven
Jesus stepped up in the court and said, "I got it, he's acquitted"
After that I understood how much He loved me and repented
That right there's a message, if you listen, this is why
[Chorus]
I put in work (Work)
Uh, it’s the reason I put in work (Work)
Hey, had a calling since I was birthed (Uh), really got it out the dirt
Jesus came to save my life when I was living at my worse
This is why I put in work (Work)
Yeah, so you can see just what it's worth (Work, work)
Huh, had a calling since I was birthed (Uh), really got it out the dirt
Jesus came to save my life when I was living at my worse
[Verse 2]
I got some years under my belt, this an amateur night at the Apollo
Nah, this right here's some fine wine, this ain't Cornerstone Moscato
These grapes are from the Creator, we crush 'em, we made 'em
If you believe, we got some room, then take a seat at the table
I'm getting tired of people saying, "I believe, but I don't follow"
What you talking about? He ain't no genie in a bottle
He's relational, so if you take a step, you'll take a step two
Some of y'all keep talking like you think He lives on Neptune
Wake up, and get up out of that slumber
It's time to build your house on the Rock and not worldly lumbers
Some folks will tell you I'm too religious, only one thing that's not religion
I just ritualistic Sunday morning, this is a mission
You don't have to like the stuff I talk about, but can't deny
These mumble rappers had the industry promoted just to lie
Come on, you don't have to like my stuff, but can't deny
That these other rappers that playing on your radio are a lie
[Chorus]
I put in work (Work)
Uh, it's the reason I put in work (Work)
Hey, had a calling since I was birthed (Uh), really got it out the dirt
Jesus came to save my life when I was living at my worse
This is why I put in work (Work)
Yeah, so you can see just what it's worth (Work, work)
Huh, had a calling since I was birthed (Uh), really got it out the dirt
Jesus came to save my life when I was living at my worse
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, I put in
Now I need y'all to hear me clearly (I-I-I-I put in, yeah)
When I say I put in work (I-I-I-I put in)
Whatever you do, you do as unto the Lord
Whatever He's given you (I put in, I put in)
That means every gift, every talent (I put in work)
You can't bury that (I-I-I-I put in, yeah)
This world needs it more than ever (I-I-I-I put in)
So you use it to serve others, you know what I'm saying? (I put in, I put in)
Uh, I put in work (Godtwang, Godtwang)
