[Chorus]

Let ’em know it’s work whole city puttin’ in that work (yeah, work!)
Where I’m from you gotta grind before you ever know your worth (facts!)
Let ’em know it’s work whole city puttin’ in that work (run it!)
We don’t ever settle, nah we don’t even know our standards (nope, never!)

[Verse]

Shorty throw it back, tryna make the whole world laugh (okay!)
Said she don’t do cardio but she run it up fast (zoom!)
I'm a product of the block, turned a heartbreak to a bag (bag talk!)
Every loss made me better every dub I ever had (facts!)

If you from the city, throw your motherf*ckin’ hands high (hands up!)
We was broke but we dreamed bigger than the damn sky (bigger!)
We ain’t raised perfect we was raised tough (tough!)
Turned nothin' into somethin that was never luck (never!)

Came from the jungle, now we kings like Mufasa (rah!)
Made it out the mud, now the drip look like a sauna (drip!)
Shorty said she love me nah, she love the commas (count it!)
And the way I pop off like I’m sponsored by the drama (boom!)

She bounce like she tryna break the whole damn stage (shake!)
City full of winners who grew up around rage (rage!)
Devil on my line, told him “hold, I’m on a break” (bye!)
Heard the angels say my name like Juice WRLD on the tapes (listen!)

[Chorus]

Let ’em know it’s work whole city puttin’ in that work (work, work!)
Where I’m from you gotta grind before you ever know your worth (talk!)
Let ’em know it’s work whole city puttin’ in that work (run it up!)
We don’t ever settle, nah we don’t even know our standards (never know!)

[Verse 2]

Shorty throw it back, got the club goin’ stupid (go dumb!)
Said she want love girl, I’m barely happy im toxic (haha!)
But I’ll still shoot my shot, no assist I don't lose it (splash!)
If I ever fall off, best believe I’ll redo it (bounce back!)

Hands up if you came from a place with no guidance (hands up!)
Where your dreams feel illegal but you still find ’em (find ’em!)
We grew up on pressure that’s why we diamond (shine!)
Now the whole world watchin’, city steady climbin’ (up!)

We ain’t had mentors we had OGs with problems (true!)
We ain’t had therapists we had music to solve ’em (facts!)
We ain’t had options we had hustle or starvin’ (grind!)
Now the whole squad eatin’, every plate lookin’ marvelous (eat!)

Rep it up, where you from yeah, scream that loud (loud!)
If you made it out the struggle, stand up proud (stand tall!)
This that anthem for the ones who took the long route (long way!)
Now we celebrate life like the pain never found us (cheers!)
