(Chorus)

We work hard

Waiting for a day all of our work pay would but just in vain

We work hard

Never looking back, covering up all the tracks yet still in vain

But now we're free, we're free today, of all the troubles, struggles that came in our way

And we believe, we found the key, but still we toil and fight to shape our destiny

We work hard

(Verse 1)

5 0' clock, getting ready

Going to a work place that I hate already

I'm scared that can be my future, cos time is really speeding I ain't ready for that

Mom said get my grades up

Daddy told me I should man up

Sister told me I should work hard

I feel locked up in these bars

I took the manual for life

Scrolling and reading through scriptures

Bible said I shouldn't worry, but nah nah nah I feel the pressure

Looking for all these greenlights, Night vison in the nightlife

They say pressure makes diamonds, can't wait for the glow up

I am better than I was, all praise to the holy

I'm just tryna live carefree, but nuh nuh I feel the pressure

(Bridge)

New life

Same fight

Still in vain

We work....

For a place

God gives

But the same God takes

We work hard

(Verse 2)

Shs, SOS

Came to university and now I'm stressed

Feeling cursed

I'm a mess

I do not have it together like I said

No support

So we tryda build a label

Me and Snek and family we're for the people

No breaks

No gain

If growing up is this confusing I don't know

Whether I'm gon' be great

Whether this is my fate

Whether all these sacrifices one they might all pay

Whether I'm gon' be last

Or how long would I wait

Whether one day as I walk this journey I might loose faith

Whether I'm gon' make it through

Or one day maybe I will fold

Whether I will settle down

Have a family of my own

Whether all this education

Is gonna help me grow

Building bridges not barriers oh lord just take me home

So we just fight, all the darkness hidden inside

In the night, we crying to God

All this pressure keeping us flawed

And I write, so that I might just give hope

That you get insight into all of these fights struggles

The pressure keeping us humble

We live with all of this pain

We don't have to fake it

Growing up you'll make a lot of mistakes so just take it

You'll learn along the way

You cannot be perfect

Never make nobody make you feel like you're not worth it

(Chorus)

We work hard

Waiting for a day all of our work pay would but just in vain

We work hard

Never looking back, covering up all the tracks yet still in vain

But now we're free, we're free today, of all the troubles, struggles that came in our way

And we believe, we found the key, but still we toil and fight to shape our destiny

We work hard
