You may enter You are not Akeem I know that What is this McDowell's? A place over on Queens Boulevard I think he works there My son works? Y'all know we live as kings, G Feeling like Akeem out here But that royalty don't stop us from working All I had was a dollar and a dream Wasn't looking for the fame, just a student of the game, no team When I didn't have a deal, wasn't tryin' to pay the bills, my queen Imani behind me, she was telling me to do my thing Keep your eyes on the finish line And the Lord will replenish, when it's time So I'm looking at this pen of mine, feeling like Spitting rhymes, killing mics like it's dinner time Work, them long nights in that basement, they hurt In my momma's house couldn't pay rent, but what's worse Working for what's heaven sent Or feeling like hell cuz you never did? So yeah, my bank account countin' was low I'm drowning but can't keep my countenance low The ??? of them thousands that ??? counts as own Belong to my Father so I'll never want I'll never need, begging for bread won't be me Cuz I am a seed, excuses are useless, tools that the fools pick Only got one shot but it feels like a full clip Work, so what I got to be afraid of? Let's work, I'm here with the God of Isaac and Jacob Let's work, His image is what I'm made from Let's work, it's time to eat so pass me a plate bruh Hungry, I'm on Esau level Working till I'm coming up on Eshon level Was down but I'm on coming up on seesaw level Staying on page, playing no games, feel like I can beat all levels Beats all special Tell 'em that I'm coming up on each y'all level Living like a king all level I told God: Send me, I'm feeling Akeem's dog level Everybody got an excuse Find out what yours is and stop using it Let's work My son works?
