Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sing along to this one
[Verse 2]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Work, work
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can be anything you wanna be
Put your mind to it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 3]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Hustle, hustle
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can do anything you wanna do
Keep at it, keep at it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 4]
See stones can be used so well
'Cause the money comes in bunches in space of hours
I don't wanna work for no ****
I'd rather chill here underneath these towers
But nor do I wanna go in jail
And me have to look back everytime I'm in the showers
Are you mad? I've got a number one to make
Checks to receive that you wouldn't believe
T, show off your voice
Yeah
[Verse 5]
See me, I scream for the scrape on taxman rate
Government wonder why we show hate
When there's kids saying mommy
I'm starving hungry, need food in my tummy
Mama's crying out loud now
'Cause she don't got no money
See she puts the kids first, she ain't ate for days
Exhausted, feeling worn out
See, I've been there before
Rice and corned beef for like four weeks, shit
[Verse 6]
So whatever you work as
Make sure you keep at it
I've seen a lot of lives go to waste
But as for me
[Verse 7]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Work, work
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can be anything you wanna be
Put your mind to it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 8]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Hustle, hustle
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can do anything you wanna do
Keep at it, keep at it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 9]
I can be what I wanna be
My life can't be worthless
There's got to be a point in living
I'll keep up till I succeed
It's never enough, there's more I can achieve
[Verse 10]
Ain't got no time for no boyfriends these days
I gotta stay focused, move things in my way
I've got to stay on top in this industry
These little Greek chicks got style
You ain't never see
[Verse 11]
Some of my friends want a piece of me
Haters wanna see me bleed
I've got to be, have to be on top of my game
[Verse 12]
So whatever you work as
Make sure you keep at it
I've seen a lot of lives go to waste
But as for me
[Verse 13]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Work, work
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can be anything you wanna be
Put your mind to it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 14]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Hustle, hustle
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can do anything you wanna do
Keep at it, keep at it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 15]
Some people live a perfect life, spending thousands
Us, in the gutter
Nunchuks make mothers cry by the thousands
If they only knew how it is where we grew
The things that we've seen
They wanna call us thugs
And we put our chin, chins up, so
[Verse 16]
So what the hell is going on in the world of today?
I don't really know, could you tell me, T?
But I can't work it out, I can't work it out
And what about us?
We'll survive it
[Verse 17]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Work, work
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can be anything you wanna be
Put your mind to it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 18]
I never thought I would ever get this far
But I guess I was wrong
Hustle, hustle
To me there's no such thing as giving up
You can do anything you wanna do
Keep at it, keep at it then
You'll succeed in life
[Verse 19]
Oi, see mama keeps wishing for a new kitchen
She needs more space when she cooks her chicken
Times are hard, bro
It's a family of five, two bedroom flat
Now tell me if you could relate to that
