Work Hard

Lyrics

[Chorus: Lloyd Banks] You ain't gon' get the money just blocking You do it well but hating's (no job) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't gon' make it here with (no heart) You be leaking here for nothing, nigga You'll never be somebody just waiting Being too patience won't leave (no mark) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't go make it here with (no heart) I be leaving here with something, nigga [Verse 1: Lloyd Banks] Your clock is short with all that hate in your blood You fucking leech, throwing your weight around Just looking for places to sink your teeth Under my feet's a million niggas the same, you peak beneath Sending them threats behind doors but up close you're speaking peace None of them niggas have belief in a nigga before success Holding your pride to come along for the ride, now walk the rest All of the things to be consistent with, rather resort to stress? This is the shit I'm supposed to kick it with? Nah, feet on they necks Niggas don't wanna put the work in, rather eat off the vets Try to erase what I worked hard for, had to keep all connects What's next? Street kept it realer huh, motherfucking lie Perfectionistic grimy nature angel to a sucker sky Crazy how niggas turned their back on me I got the milli' though Just adds to my material, sticks on the ground in your video They laughing everywhere the face of a clown in the city scopes Story full of broken promises and silly hopes [Chorus: Lloyd Banks] You ain't gon' get the money just blocking You do it well but hating's (no job) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't gon' make it here with (no heart) You be leaking here for nothing, nigga You'll never be somebody just waiting Being too patience won't leave (no mark) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't go make it here with (no heart) I be leaving here with something, nigga [Verse 2: Tony Yayo] We got them big poles that fold up Just in case a nigga try to roll up Walking up on my feet getting calluses Sleeping in the trap on some cheap air mattresses Rain sleet or snow I'm 134 Arguing with speedy 'cause I made a sale in the store New years eve and champagne in the store About 500 niggas by that project door Reminiscing on them good days When you could make 10 Gs in one day Lil homie went from the play pen to the state pen Mandatory life sentence that's how his life end My phone ring to the day I die, nigga My work fire, nigga, go hard, nigga We trap 'til the day that we die, nigga Hot pipe on my waist, I'm a real nigga [Chorus: Lloyd Banks] You ain't gon' get the money just blocking You do it well but hating's (no job) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't gon' make it here with (no heart) You be leaking here for nothing, nigga You'll never be somebody just waiting Being too patience won't leave (no mark) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't go make it here with (no heart) I be leaving here with something, nigga [Verse 3: Lloyd banks] Spending your era faking rich Fools mistook you for wealth Hiding your weakness and critiquing, take a look at yourself (You speeding everywhere for nothing) Could've been where you want by now But without attention you can't function (Won't nothing come without the hustling) You're fooling yourself to think your actions ain't coming with repercussions You're so vulnerable to hell, in the neighborhood demons rushing It's a'ight you'll get back up, you tough right? The cement toughens You done made it this far bluffing, quit while you ahead Won't be acknowledged for flashing a nigga dollars when you're dead I'ma shit on y'all 'til God let me up out of here, you dig? You done told the world that you'll never flip on me, you did A disgrace to anything that's connected how could you live Another reason now my heart left, lost and found in the fridge Do yourself a favor while you're out wandering, find a bridge And the niggas that take you in they already know what it is [Chorus: Lloyd Banks] You ain't gon' get the money just blocking You do it well but hating's (no job) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't gon' make it here with (no heart) You be leaking here for nothing, nigga You'll never be somebody just waiting Being too patience won't leave (no mark) Nigga for everything I got I had to (work hard) You ain't go make it here with (no heart) I be leaving here with something, nigga
