Work - Gang Starr

Ayo, I'm gonna be on ti-dop, that's all my eyes can see

Victory is mine, yeah, surprisingly

I've been layin', waitin' for your next mistake

I put in work and watch my status escalate

Now, I'm gon' start collectin' props, connectin' plots

Networkin' like a conference ‘cause the nonsense is yet to stop

Jakes shake me down, haters wanna take me down

Break me down, clap!

– all they heard was the sound

Yo, I scoped it out, I took your weak dream and choked it out

Your bitch don't really got no ass, she just poked it out

On the D-low, I'm sayin' you versus me though?

We can do this shit right here in front of your people

See, time is money, kid, and BS walks

And to me it's funny, kid, when you meatheads talk

I see feds stalk, they wanna dig up the dirt, son

Is it me they hawk?

‘Cause I be puttin' in work, son

Ayo, I'm gonna be on ti-dop, that's all my eyes can see

Victory is mine, yeah, surprisingly

I've been layin', waitin' for your next mistake

I put in work and watch my status escalate

You cornballs get stonewalled, blackballed, I own y'all

The veteran, runnin' my plan, I'm the better man

Crazy raw, doin' my job like the mob

Blazin' y'all and disappearin' in the fog

Or a mist, and chicks can't resist what I kick

They be beggin' for attention or some more of the dillznick

Word up, baby, someone may have to get hurt up, baby

Shit is mad shady, but I got to get the gravy

Platinum respect like the force of a TEC

Keep you hittin' the deck, feelin' heat in your chest

Bangin' your thoughts with the hot onslaught

A kid got shot on the spot for goin' where he should not

Viciously, I make history instantly

Those other lame-ass loser-ass niggas, they can't fuck with me

I'm doin' my thing now to lamp later on

Paid in the shade with some fly gators on

But now I'm grimy as they get, mud on my pants and shirt

I bet you niggas out here know, I be puttin' in work

Ayo, I'm gonna be on ti-dop, that's all my eyes can see

Victory is mine, yeah, surprisingly

I've been layin', waitin' for your next mistake

I put in work and watch my status escalate
