[Chorus: Murs]
They say that hard work pays off
So I go hard, no days off
Always on my grind, so I stay sharp
Got me this close to my dreams and I can't stop
They say that hard work pays off
So I go hard, no days off
Always on my grind, so I stay sharp
Got me this close to my dreams and I can't stop

[Verse 1: Murs]
(Hey)
I used to stand out on that corner daily (Hey)
Sellin' my music and people call me crazy (Woo)
Had that five-dollar holler, man (Yep)
Plus a little marijuana, I was not a saint (Uh)
It was God's law over man's law
And they came from the earth, I saw no flaw
Had to hit pause when I finally came up
Couldn't keep blockin' my blessings, had to change up
Ten thousand hours, homie, you do the math
That's a year and two months for you to master your craft
Yeah, ten thousand hours, ten thousand hours
You makin' power moves or you at home watchin' Power?
You wanna spеctate or cop an estate?
And whilе you eatin' weak think about your next plate
You gotta be hungry, you gotta go hard, homie
God didn't put you on this earth to see you starve, homie

[Chorus: Murs]
They say that hard work pays off
So I go hard, no days off
Always on my grind, so I stay sharp
Got me this close to my dreams and I can't stop
They say that hard work pays off
So I go hard, no days off
Always on my grind, so I stay sharp
Got me this close to my dreams and I can't stop

[Verse 2: Dee-1]
One-two, one-two, one-two
I see phony people on a daily basis
Maybe I'm phony too cause I be smilin' in their faces
No, actually I'm just smart, so I play their game smarter
Gotta separate from these birds, man, like Dwayne Carter
People tryna sign me cause they see I'm buzzin'
But their paper ain't long enough so I ain't signin' nothin' (Yeah)
You say we family, I took your words to heart, bro (I did)
That's just a part of your sales pitch, and I got [?]
In other news, I'm scared to hit the road and tour (Why?)
I'm overwhelmed without a team, I'm tryna keep my heart pure
Been indulging in some bad behaviors, I ain't proud of that
Lately, when the devil hit my line I tend to holla back (Holla back)
It really humbled me, man
Reality'll sting you just like a bumblebee, man
I walked with God and been perfect, I hope that that don't make you hate me
Man, I've been goin' through some real things lately
[Outro: Murs]
Yeah, man. I don't know how I remember this, but I remember this. Look. Matthew 24:36 says; "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father". You peep that? So much time do you have to waste when you don't know if the next minute is promised? Let's get serious
