Work - Gang Starr

Are you working? 
What kind of work do you do? 
Uhh... 
("Boy  what is it you want to do when you grow up?) 
Aiyyo I'm gonna be on ti dop  that's all my eyes can see 
Victory is mine  yeah surprisingly 
I've been laying  waiting for your next mistake 
I put in work  and watch my status escalate 
Now I'ma start collectin props  connectin plots 
networkin like a conference  cause the nonsense is yet to stop 
Jakes shake me down, haters wanna take me down 
Break me down, CLAP all they heard was the sound 
Yo I scoped it out, I took your weak dream and choked it out 
Your bitch don't really got no ass, she just poked it out 
on the deelow, I'm sayin, you versus me though? 
We can do this shit right here, in front of your people 
See time is money kid, and BS walks 
And to me, it's funny kid when you meet heads talk 
I see Feds stalk, they wanna dig up the dirt 
Son is it me they hawk, cause I be puttin in work Son? 
Aiyyo I'm gonna be on ti-dop, that's all my eyes can see 
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly 
I've been laying, waiting for your next mistake 
I put in work, and watch my status escalate 
You cornballs get stonewalled, blackballed I own y'all 
The veteran, runnin my plan I'm the better man 
Crazy raw, doin my job like the mob 
Blazin y'all, and disappearin in the fog 
or a mist, and chicks can't resist what I kick 
They be beggin for attention or some more of the dillznick 
Word up baby, someone may have to get hurt up baby 
Shit is mad shady, but I got to get the gravy 
Platinum respect like the force of a tech 
keep you hittin the deck, feelin heat in your chest 
Bangin your thoughts with the hot onslaught 
A kid got shot on the spot for goin where he should not 
Viciously, I make history, instantly 
Those other lame ass loser ass niggaz, they can't fuck with me 
I'm doin my thing now, to lamp later on 
Paid in the shade, with some fly gators on 
But now I'm grimy as they get, mud on
