[ Featuring Emanuel Brown ]
(J Nui)
Yeah nah, no days off, look
Through fatigue and the pain gotta keep pushing through
For greatness is never gifted you know that it's true
For all this time, I've been caught up in my mind
Tryna perfect the design, but really there ain't no substitute
It's never bout what you say it's what you do
Play the hand that I'm dealt, I never follow suit
Got one eye on the game just like a monocle
The other one is lining it up in case I gotta shoot
Striking while it's hot stay resilient
Knowing that these chances don't come in the millions
Steady tryna balance all this arrogance and brilliance
Put on a display of my talent I got them tuning in
Traverse around the planet like meridian
Pushing out the sound that will pull you from oblivion
Gotta stay down for day ones and my affiliates
J Nui and Emanuel Brown man we killin' it what
[Chorus]
They try to tell me no that I can't go and do it my way
I'm not playing those games
Cause I'm working no days off
They can't see my vision on the canvas when I'm laying my paint
That don't mean a damn thing
Cause I'm working always though
(Emanuel Brown)
Working my boy that's just the way of life
Been taught to feed myself story of my life
What you know about beating down the struggle right
Or crawling out of darkness just to find the light
Man it's easy to do with when you've been through it
Moving from choppy waters to really just living fluid
Shit ain't always congruent but buckle in and enjoy the ride
Cause the journey takes some years never overnight
What you doing when they say the music's lacking
Give up, put it on the shelf or keep it active
We ain't talking bout action never distracted
For the love and the culture master our passion
Make a movement is the only way to do it
Make your own path if they won't let you use it
So what you doing blaming everybody else?
Or foot to pavement go and get it by yourself
[Chorus]
They try to tell me no that I can't go and do it my way
I'm not playing those games
Cause I'm working no days off
They can't see my vision on the canvas when I'm laying my paint
That don't mean a damn thing
Cause I'm working always though
They try to tell me no that I can't go and do it my way
I'm not playing those games
Cause I'm working no days off
They can't see my vision on the canvas when I'm laying my paint
That don't mean a damn thing
Cause I'm working always though
