[Intro]
There are 24 hours in an Earth day
That means that it only takes the planet 86,400 seconds to complete one rotation
There are infinite things 1 can do to pass the time
What are you doing for your future?
[Intro 2: Clarence the Kid & Justin Chan]
You tryna hit the gym later?
I need to but I you know I gotta stay back, uh, write some songs, get the album ready so I’ll have to pass on this one…
What about Santa Monica?
As nice as that sounds, you know I really gotta work on this music, get it popping, get the album ready so I can get somewhere…
Not even the party on Menlo?
I mean, I really want to but…
[Verse 1: Clarence the Kid]
I’ve been working way too hard in this rap game
Spitting facts from my black brain
It’s a fact, I’ll be working till my last day
Or until I burn out like an ashtray
Man I pray that that day never ever happens
The things I love most in life, getting paid and rapping
I don’t ever go to sleep, most I’ll do is napping
Because there just ain’t enough time in the day
I grind everyday, I’m wavy like I’m from Monterey
Create like I’m Dre, charisma like I’m Andre 3K
I’m making a way, flying like I’m a bird of prey
You know that I make bangers that can snap vertebrae
I’m spitting that flame, every time I’m up on a track
Whenever I rap, I’m spreading my name across the map
Don’t even react, you feel that? That’s just the impact
Of lyricism that gets the people addicted like crack
This rap’s a drug, and I stay abusing
By using my pen and paper to create a brand new movement
I got all these ideas inside of me that keep on oozing
Out my hand, through the pen, to the paper, and into the music
It’s a blessing and a curse, depending on how you view it
I’m doing so much to make sure that I always stay improving
It is a lonely life sometimes, I don’t have the time for cruising
Around the city and partying stupid I’m choosing to do this, I’m ruthless
[Hook: Clarence the Kid]
And I’ve been working way too hard (Working way too hard)
And I’m still in the same spot as last year
I wanna be a rap star (I wanna be a rap star)
Make the most of everything that I have here
People say I’m working too hard (They say I’m working too hard)
And they telling me I need to take a break (What?)
Take a break? Ain’t nobody got time for that
Ya boy is working steady chasing his dreams
You gotta let em know
Man I’ve been working way too hard (Working way too hard)
Working way too hard (Yeah)
Yeah, I’ve been working way too hard (Working, working)
Working way too hard (What?)
Said I’ve been working way too hard (Working way too hard)
Working way too hard (Yeah)
Man I’ve been working way too hard
I am working, steady chasing my dreams, you gotta let ‘em know
[Verse 2: Etienne Green]
Eyes locked
Got a real sick flow and I spit it like I'm working with the shot clock
Real quick I ain’t got much patience I'm a got damn time bomb
Head on a swivel and you know it boy I'm never bout to get robbed
Working like a got damn day job
Don't you come at me thinking I wasn't ready dawg
Working, working, working, working
I've been up to shit I'm steady swerving
Right to left and left to out of vision
Holla at me if you with the mission
Yeah, ET
I got bars and a flow that you ain't ready to see
I'm bout to spit [?] wash your soul out to sea
Man I'm nice with the flow with the work I'm a BEAST
Damn stop it
I thought i told you already
I’m a monstar even Michael Jordan wasn’t ready
On some Space Jam shit, they be vibing in the heavens
When I die they gon’ bury the secrets to rapping with me
You can come and get it now or you can come and get it later
I ain’t got a minute in my day to quarrel with a hater
If you hear me and you listening there ain’t nobody better
I ain’t here for playing games, ice cold get a sweater
[Hook: Clarence the Kid]
Man I’ve been working way too hard
And I’m still in the same spot as last year
I wanna be a rap star (I wanna be a rap star)
Make the most of everything that I have here
People say I’m working too hard (Say I’m working too hard)
And they telling me I need to take a break (What?)
Take a break? Ain’t nobody got time for that
Ya boy is working steady chasing his dreams
You gotta let em know
Man I’ve been working way too hard (Working way too hard)
Working way too hard (Yeah)
Yeah, I’ve been working way too hard (Working, working)
Working way too hard (What?)
Said I’ve been working way too hard (Working way too hard)
Working way too hard (Yeah)
Man I’ve been working way too hard
I am working, steady chasing my dreams, you gotta let ‘em know
