Work

I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

I sweat, and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time

So I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

And I sweat and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time

Hey, what's happening homie

Hey, hey, what it do mane

Don't know 'bout you but I'm working

Trying to keep pressing mane

In life, with rhymes

I fight with people pleasing

That's trife, this time

I'm fighting to please Jesus

I'm done with it dog

All the lying and masquerading

The fronting and the faking

I hate it, life feels so vacant

I used to let 'em make it

Even if it got blatant

No matter how flagrant, I'd let it slide like stealing bases

But now I finally get it

So I ain't ever quitting

I can't be passive, inactive like players that's been injured

Far from it

Been hurt, been even knocked off my feet

But I'm in Christ, and I want life like it's suppose to be

I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

I sweat, and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time

So I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

And I sweat and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time

When I ain't know, who I was

Everyday I wasted life

Pagan days of people pleasing cause I wasn't chasing Christ

Worried 'bout the he say she say

I'd repeat it like a replay

I was chasing their approval like a runner in a relay (GO)

I was believing that if I got it

No-doubt it'd be all good

But even if I got it

Somehow it would fall through

I tried to keep standing

Living by a weak standard

Believing even Jesus received me based on my weak merits

Lies from the pit, lies I won't forget

Lies that ruin lives and keep you blind to who you is

Sinner saved by grace, through faith for Jesus sake

So what you have count as loss as we press to see His face

I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

I sweat, and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time

So I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

And I sweat and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time

Every Christians on the track

But are we focused like a scope

Or are we racing never pacing

Are we running to the goal

Upward (upward) calling (calling)

Full in (full in) knowledge (knowledge)

Nothing hollow

Like the lotto

True rewards

From God the Father

Well we should be

No matter what they say, or even throw at us

Keep rolling up, and pressing in

And showing folks you rest in Him

See when it's, all said and done, I wanna, be true to Christ

I wanna, see fruit that's proof to know it's true to life

So look to Him, give up everything to make it to Him

To know Him fully

Becoming holy as you pursue Him

To all my saints, who know they saved

But know there's more to gain

Keep pressing till the end when we will see Him face to face

I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

I sweat, and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time

So I work, and I press

And I do everything I can just trying to give these folks my best

And I sweat and I grind

I used to try but learned that I can't please these people all the time
