about

Donwill: The words to this song were originally on a Tiffany Paige song named exclusive rights. I had demo'd it up and one day she called me up to tell me that my verses had got bumped and she was gonna feature Scienz of Life on the track. Me and Tiffany have a great working relationship and John Robinson aka lil sci is the homie so I wasn't trippin at all, shit I fuck with the whole shaman work family. But that left me with three very unused verses and since I don't tend to write an excess of verses I found a home for them here. and yes that is an actual mistake i made, not rehearsed, most of these songs were keep the first take recordings

SuhBURB: This came out on Beat Thieves, didn't it? I'm really prone to going back to beats after people have had them and changing things. This is one of the few opportunities I've had to actually put out my changed version. It just worked out that Don's verse perfectly fit the double time drum I had found, and then it was just natural for me to throw the bassline in there. I tend to grin like an idiot when I play this.

lyrics

VERSE 1: and honestly a part of me barely believes in modesty/ be callin me to walk into the job and give em my two weeks/ or not to speak at all just say fuck it and turn my grind on/ but i snap out of it/ everytime i turn my lights on/ this cant be life, not mines at least/ feel like an actor in a movie or im undercover deep/ remove the covers if you sleep, my nigga time is of the essence/ im not gettin any younger in the rhyme so much invested/ man i bled it, sweated bullets, gotten better, made improvements/ not pathetic but the effort made it evident i do this/ gimme credit for the music, suffered debits all inclusive/ and i bet it broke some dudes but it just altered my enthusiasm/ hard to climb or move a mountain, harder if you doubtin/ got a fighting spirit deaths the only thing that take it out him/ we gone make it yall, man we already there/ its our time this time, man we own this year, yeah

BRIDGE (repeat x 2): is the hard work workin? the memorizin verses?/ was energized at first when, i wasnt sold or purchased/ before the shows and cosigns, the videos and downloads/ i wanted props for my rhymes and now i feel like thats old/ rappin is hard work its rehearsing to be perfect/ fightin to break surface and stay above unearthed with/ the radio and soundscans, marketing and promo/ im prayin that we found fans and hopin that we find more

VERSE 2: you can have it if you want it, is you really tryna get it?/ show and prove in xxl, but can i really fit it?/ know the truth is that i excel, especially when i spit/ over loops i make ya neck swell from noddin to the rythm/ don, will he flop, will he make it, will he fall off/ to book a show from the job he gotta call off/ and i even tryna ball all crazy/ just puttin in some work until this notebook pays me, come on....
