[Intro]
(Beat kicks in immediately—heavy 808s)
Talk is cheap.
But the work speaks. Let's go!
[Verse 1:]
(Fast flow)
I wake up, cake up? Nah, I wake up and lace up
I don't chase luck, I’m focused on the pace up.
While they sleeping on the dream, I’m in the dim light
Study while the rest camp, tryna get the rim tight.
It’s that 10,000 hours, sweating in the showers
Trying to bloom but first you gotta bury seeds for the flowers.
I’m distinct with the ink, I don’t blink
Exodus 31, filled with the Spirit just to think.
Just to cut, just to carve the gold
If I master what I’m holding, then the story gets told!
[Chorus:]
All hard work brings profit (Yeah!)
But mere talk? You can stop it.
We don’t do it for the wallet
We do it ‘cause He called it.
Master the craft, sharpen the steel
This ain't a hobby, homie, this is the real.
Grind in the dark so the light can shine
Sweat on the brow, gotta steward the time.
WORK.
[Verse 2:]
(Heavy, deliberate flow)
Lazy hands make a man poor
But diligent hands will rule, that’s for sure.
I treat the booth like a pulpit, the pen like a chisel
While they fizzle out, I’m working through the drizzle.
Colossians 3, yeah I do it for the King
So I can't be slack in a single little thing.
Bezalel with the blueprint, David with the sling
Preparation meets the moment, that’s a dangerous thing.
Unashamed of the grind, yeah, I’m guarding my lane
No shortcuts here, only glory to His name.
[Bridge: Call & Response]
They say Rome wasn't built in a day.
But they were laying bricks while the others came to play!
I don’t want the microwave success.
I want the slow-cooked, put-it-to-the-test!
[Chorus:]
All hard work brings profit (Yeah!)
But mere talk? You can stop it.
Master the craft, sharpen the steel
This ain't a hobby, homie, this is the real.
WORK.
[Outro]
Don't tell me what you gonna do.
Show me what you've done.
Both: Excellence is worship.
