Work
In the last few years I haven't done very many open mics or shows whatsoever. I finally got outside snd did an open mic recently and felt really inspired hearing tons of local talent rapping in a distinctive Texas style.
I took that into my following writing sessions, and during one of them, I wrote the idea for Work and posted it to my instagram story.
One of the markers of a good idea to me is one that multiple fans or followers respond to with some enthusiasm. I know a handful of people watch my song ideas on my story regularly, so when an idea makes them speak up, it tells me something.
I leaned more into my braggadocious, aggresive side for this track, which felt good. Following this song, I will be going back into loverboy mode for the next 7 or so tracks, so it felt good to do something in this lane.
The beat for this song is by Gettcy
I went out to Music in Focus studio to have it recorded, mixed and mastered.
Dennis shot the video.
Big thanks to Harry's Mini Mart on 28th st for letting us shoot there !
Go try their cheeseburger its legendary, and tell them I sent you !
The mural on the building is by Travis Avila
The cover photo was shot by XO Portraits
Hope you enjoy the track!
Talk soon,

Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm best in class
Any class size
Any campus
Any district
It's S-I-N
No forgiveness
Or ambivalence
Bitch I might hurt yo feelin’s
Make you try drug dealin’
Could work out Lord willin
If I get bored and quit it
The rap game might just let you in it
I love a strong woman with a attitude
And opinions
And degrees
Take up some space
Got a whole lot to say
Ain't scared of no drama
So bring it my way
She get real tame
when you make her feel safe
Real boss
make your life elevate
She call when I'm on this stage
Peel off bae I'm on my way
And fuck her ex
He don't like women
He like to fight with em
He can lay hands
But he can't lay pipe
For more than five minutes
He might like dudes
But can't admit it
He should just stop pretending
I got flowers and dick
for a bad bitch
Make her forget
where her past is and
Hook
(brrr) What you doin?
Bitch I'm winnin'
Grindin and I'm grinnin’
Workin everyday
Give a fuck bout how I'm feelin
Locked in on the mission
til the shovels start diggin'
(brrr) What you doin?
Bitch I'm winnin'
Grindin and I'm grinnin’
Workin everyday
Give a fuck bout how I'm feelin
Locked in on the mission
til my family start diggin'
Verse 2
Got a trophy voice
I want trophy toys
Trophy women
Pockets full of some trophy coin
I'm cannabinoids
on your app of choice
When I take my shot
Pop pop pop
No remorse
Got Your bm
hittin high notes
at the top
of her vocal chords
Put her first
like a overture
Fit right in her
like the cat contoured
Fuck with me
I'm a mack for sure
Right in that little
garage, bitch
Gotta pay me to pay me
homage, bitch
I'm sweet on her tongue
Häagen-Dazs, bitch
Keep her in love with a
boss, bitch
She take everything
except offence
Fort Worth's finest
With a pen and a pad
my lab make diamonds
I might blind ya
standing behind ya
Hypnotize ya
May I remind ya
I been rhymin’
Since you were a light
in your daddy's iris
When you work all the time
You ain't gotta wait on perfect timin’
Hook
(brrr) What you doin?
Bitch I'm winnin'
Grindin and I'm grinnin’
Workin everyday
Give a fuck bout how I'm feelin
Locked in on the mission
til the shovels start diggin'
(brrr) What you doin?
Bitch I'm winnin'
Grindin and I'm grinnin’
Workin everyday
Give a fuck bout how I'm feelin
Locked in on the mission
til my family start diggin'
