"The Hard Work Works" lyrics
Paul Wall, Crys Wall & Baby Doll Wall Lyrics
(DJ Fresh, DJ Fresh, DJ Fresh)
[Crys Wall:]
I know you see, I know you see me on my grind
Do you know I've been working overtime?
Comin' through lookin' good 'cause I'm gon' shine
Don't you know how long I been on my grind?
[Paul Wall:]
You barely wakin' up, but I ain't been to sleep yet
All this bread and cake, but I ain't even eat yet
Hundred-thousand-dollar grill, that's an elite set
In the game twenty-five years, I ain't even peak yet
I'm chasin' money like we playin' tag
But know one thing, I'd never sell out my brother to get a bag
Nine-hour flight, just a slight jet lag
But right back to gettin' scratch, never throwin' the white flag
I been chasin' mils since Hulk Hogan turned heel
And I been real way before I ever made a reel (Ever made a reel)
People ask me if I still sell grills
That's like askin' a pharmacy if they still sell pills
I put deals together like Clarence Avant
Speakers hittin' so hard, it turn you to a sudden savant
The charms and the toys are just the perks
Peep game, homie, real talk, the hard work works
[Crys Wall:]
I know you see, I know you see me on my grind
Do you know I've been working overtime?
Comin' through lookin' good 'cause I'm gon' shine
Don't you know how long I been on my grind?
[Paul Wall:]
Double shift, overtime, keepin' that clock punched
Take a loss, bounce back, but give up, not once
Back up on the paper route, out on the guap hunt
Chasin' a possession like you fumbled a dropped punt
Hot month comin', better not get burnt
Never catch me hidin' knowledge, always share what I learnt
See me covered up in diamonds, it was all hard-earned
Turnin' fifty to one hundred is my only concern
As the world turns, accumulate the trophies
But if you think that's what I'm 'bout, then you don't really know me
Slowly on the rise, makin' progress inch by inch
Hall-of-fame hustler, but I started out on the bench
If you knew how much it took, you'd probably think twice
It's a mean grind, but I make it all look nice
The ice and the cars are just the perks
But peep game, homie, real talk, the hard work works
[Crys Wall:]
I know you see, I know you see me on my grind
Do you know I've been working overtime?
Comin' through lookin' good 'cause I'm gon' shine
Don't you know how long I been on my grind?
I know you see, I know you see me on my grind
Do you know I've been working overtime?
Comin' through lookin' good 'cause I'm gon' shine
Don't you know how long I been on my grind?
On my grind, yeah
Don't you know?
I know you see
I know you see
Don't you know?
How long I've been on my grind
[Crys Wall:]
I know you see, I know you see me on my grind
Do you know I've been working overtime?
Comin' through lookin' good 'cause I'm gon' shine
Don't you know how long I been on my grind?
