[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no shortcuts (ain’t no shortcuts), only hard work (Only hard work)
Ain’t no shortcuts (ain’t no shortcuts), it’s supposed to hurt (It’s supposed to hurt)
I don’t wait in line (I don’t wait in line), I show up first (I show up first)
I show up ready (I show up ready), ready for the work (Ready for the work)

[Chorus]
Out here putting in work, I’m on my grind, ain’t taking no breaks
Out here getting it done, I do what it take, I do what it take
Check my bank account (My bank account), look like phone numbers (Look like phone numbers)
I’ma run it up (I’ma run it up), like they stole from me (Let’s go)

[Verse 1]
I done went broke, got right back focused (Run it up)
Really, though, Emilio the best thing smoking (Going dumb)
Coc*ine drop with the top flipped open (Mm)
Bottom of the map, but the trap not closing, yeah
Pulling up to buy, put your feelings to the side (Huh?)
Might catch me in the spot with your thot bent over (Baow, baow)
Diamonds in my mouth, catch a whiff of my aroma (Bling)
Invisa-wear, hand-set, emerald cut, frozen
With Barbie on the road and she’s loving my persona
Players only live once, I’ma get chosen
Dad cap, collared shirt, I’ma get chauffeured (Yes, Lord)
Coffee shop booming, having real big motion, yeah
Sell ’em by the square, but I move ’em by the pallet
Even got my own brand if you thinking I’m joking (Yoom)
I ain’t come to play, baby, you just in the way, baby
I’m a real Bread Winner, please move over

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no shortcuts (ain’t no shortcuts), only hard work (Only hard work)
Ain’t no shortcuts (ain’t no shortcuts), it’s supposed to hurt (It’s supposed to hurt)
I don’t wait in line (I don’t wait in line), I show up first (I show up first)
I show up ready (I show up ready), ready for the work (Ready for the work)

[Chorus]

Out here putting in work, I’m on my grind, ain’t taking no breaks
Out here getting it done, I do what it take, I do what it take
Check my bank account (My bank account), look like phone numbers (Look like phone numbers)
I’ma run it up (I’ma run it up), like they stole from me (Let’s go)

[Verse 2]
Lately, been in the gym, get it in, muscle (Hmm)
What about relationships? I ain’t quit thugging (Nah)
Go ahead, take a trip, I’ma just hustle, yeah
I ain’t even spending money, flip and just double (Run it up)
Foreign chick flying in, get her through customs (Yoom)
Nice skin, slim thick, booty on bubble
Do it in the mirror, make her feel it in her stomach
Killer, when I’m finished, I don’t kiss and I don’t cuddle (Yes, Lord)
Selling out arenas, got a ticket out the gutter (Uh-huh)
Motivate the real n!ggas, everybody love me, yeah
Aiming for the stars while maneuvering a new car (Oh, yeah)
You would think I’m shooting out the ceiling of a Cully
Christian Loub’, bottom of my tennis shoe bloody (Yes, Lord)
Audemars waterpark, I meant to say flooded, yeah
Price keep going up, phone I got jumping (Already)
If you don’t think I’m number one, you got the wrong number

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no shortcuts (ain’t no shortcuts), only hard work (Only hard work)
Ain’t no shortcuts (ain’t no shortcuts), it’s supposed to hurt (It’s supposed to hurt)
I don’t wait in line (I don’t wait in line), I show up first (I show up first)
I show up ready (I show up ready), ready for the work (Ready for the work)

[Chorus]
Out here putting in work, I’m on my grind, ain’t taking no breaks
Out here getting it done, I do what it take, I do what it take
Check my bank account (My bank account), look like phone numbers (Look like phone numbers)
I’ma run it up (I’ma run it up), like they stole from me (Let’s go)
