Work It Up

Intro

Uh

Yeah

Uh huh

Okay

Verse 1

Came from the bottom of the map

Nobody handed me a thing

Mama worked the double shift

So I could chase a dream

Took the train across the city

Shoes worn down to the sole

Now they know my name in every room

I kept my heart and kept my soul

Chorus

We gon make it we gon make it

Watch me work it watch me work it

We gon make it we gon make it

Ain't no shortcuts ain't no mercy

Post-Chorus

(Go) go go go

(Go) go go go

Verse 2

Told my cousin we'd be straight

Told my brother hold the line

Every dollar that I stack

Is another prayer of mine

They said no way no how

Said a kid like me can't rise

But the gospel in the vinyl

Said the quiet ones surprise

Chorus

We gon make it we gon make it

Watch me work it watch me work it

We gon make it we gon make it

Ain't no shortcuts ain't no mercy

Post-Chorus

(Go) go go go

(Go) go go go

Bridge

Blessings fall like Sunday rain

Every scar became a lesson

Every loss became a gain

Keep it pushing keep it pressing

Chorus

We gon make it we gon make it

Watch me work it watch me work it

We gon make it we gon make it

Ain't no shortcuts ain't no mercy

Post-Chorus

(Go) go go go

(Go) go go go
