I been working hella hard, shit ain't really working out
Ten lyrics and one interview. Workin Out provides 4 of the lines, about working hard when nothing pans out and people showing up once you are famous. Love and life tie at 3 tags, and perseverance has 2. Sistanem is about talking face to face and being loyal enough to hurt for someone; Kody Blu 31 is about a mother losing her own mother. 3 are credited to The Forever Story. The interview line, from GQ, is a piece of advice: ask forgiveness instead of permission.
Breakin' rules, skippin' school, pullin' fire alarms
Got with a crew, made a truce, an alliance was formed
Got a tool, start shootin', then the violence was born
Nah, you’re just gonna have your feelings hurt. Ask forgiveness instead of permission type vibe.
I watched my mama lose her mama
Go through drama and trauma but had to keep her head high
Looking for love at the end of this Henn' bottle
You hate to see me hurt, you wanna hurt someone for me
Way too down to Earth, don't do no dirt for me, please
The lesson in this shit is we should talk face to face, fuck the messagin'
Meet me in the flesh and you can see that I'm still lil' Destin
Had a dream of eating lamb in the Lam'
Wasn't 'round when you had the dirty house
Now they won't leave when you kick 'em out
Look, on everything
I gave everything and got nothing back
Ain't looking for no pat on backs
Objects appearing closer than you ready for
Obviously, you don't know what's ahead
But that's the reason you can work 'til you dead
