Workin - Papoose, DJ Premier

You’d rather live in shit than let the world see you work a shovel

We about what we about and that’s that

I’m representing with end swords, firin' workers for tryna be the boss

The Video Music Box watcher who used to read The Source

Four-finger rings, Levi suits, the freeze and cross

Back the scalpel on you, won’t make you take your Adidas off

The Louis the 13th ace capo who eat the course

2020 718 Spyder, you see the Porsche

With the gunplay just like the homie who be with Ross

Rules of the street code gettin' brutally reinforced

The Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles vision when I be squeezin' off

Blind to your pain, we don’t see remorse

If he say he get it out the mud, he grimy, you heard me, nigga?

The only ones playin' in the mud is dirty niggas

Court’s open twenty-four hours, they servin' niggas

Nowadays you better off bein' a workin' nigga

You’d rather live in shit than let the world see you work a shovel

We about what we about and that’s that, workin'

You’d rather live in shit than let the world see you work a shovel

We about what we about and that’s that, workin'

Pandemic, rest in peace

Death appears pleasant, but it’s levels to it

To live in peace is real leverage

They don’t really care about George Floyd, that man breathless

Not enough carin' yet all these Karens so damn reckless

Learnin' from my child, my daughter gave me a clear message

Blessed like an angel, the golden child, she angelic

Yes man, you just agree with it 'cause your man said it

Ain’t no «I"in team, homie, you can’t spell it

Sometimes you gotta create space if you feel threatened

Do 'em like Michael Jordan used to do 'em, hand-checkin'

Chrome BB gun with the hammer, we used to share pellets

Valedictorian, graduated to real reppers

Middlemen strivin' to squash beef, you can’t stress it

Once there’s bloodshed in that beef, homie, you can’t dead it

You’d rather live in shit than let the world see you work a shovel

We about what we about and that’s that, workin'

You’d rather live in shit than let the world see you work a shovel

We about what we about and that’s that, workin'
