Intro
Worked too hard to give up now
Nose broke, knees buckle, still get up how
I have this, immense drive, to keep on going
Tried quitting, not for me, have to make folks proud
I was, tired of floating, alive but not being Searching for love, when I ain’t know the meaning
Tired of failing, dreams I wasn’t reaching
Self destructive habits then I wonder why y’all leaving
Verse
It seem harsh but it be like that
I was gone for a minute but I be right back
Upped my focus , settle, start to notice
The way we was living, wasn’t living, now we owe for it
I was nothing but a screwed up kid
Set a couple goals then I drew them BIG
Christopher Wallace, we just want acknowledgement
Give us our props, for the greatness that we harnessing
I know pain, seen what it does to people
Cold drain you, chew you, Cobain you
Visually strained , no thought of which way to
Take note of successful people study what they do
Thats my game plan and plan of attack
Make them think twice when they plan to attack
While they were building walls on some pyramid schemes
We built relationships that’ll stand the on slaught
Chorus/Interlude
Working hard it’s some people that been counting on me
Too many blessing I need someone who can count em for me
Working hard it’s some people that been counting on me
Too many blessing I need someone who can count em for me
What can you
Huh
What can you
What can you
Huh
What can you
What can you
Huh
What can you
Focus on what you can and not on what you can’t do
Verse 2
Who’d have thought what we needed was time
Time to heal the things have us wrapped in a bind
Stuck inside a film that we couldn’t rewind
Discomfort and lessons
Mix em in with our blessings
Attack em head on
Lace your boots in acceptance
What we get when combined
Is pressure and greatness
Accomplished fulfillments
When they said that I wouldn’t
Left it all on the court
And I pushed till I couldn’t
Even when I couldn’t
I still gave it my all
Try to lock me out
I just snuck through the guards
Who can box me in
When I pick through the locks
Shouldn’t count me out
Let em know I’m the boss
Played my position
Did what I had to
All for the squad
Peer through the mantle
It was never a doubt
Get off and I’d paddle
Till we get where we going
Never caught in a straddle
Bridge
I am great, I can, I will conquer
I am worth I will I can prosper
Friend, brother, lover, and a fighter,
Hard worker, student, and an author
I am great, I can, I will conquer
I am worth I will i can prosper
Friend, brother, lover, and a fighter,
Hard worker, student, and an author

Chorus/Interlude
Working hard it’s some people that been counting on me

Working hard it’s some people that been counting on me
Too many blessing I need someone who can count em for me
What can you
Huh
What can you
What can you
Huh
What can you
What can you
Huh
What can you
Focus on what you can and not on what you can’t do

Take It Back (Diary)
Intro
I take it back
I take it back
If you could , would you ever take it back
I take it back
I take it back
Whats done is done you could never take it back
Verse
Story of a young man in his early twenties
A short life but regrets he had many
Reminiscing when he didn’t have a penny
Didn’t have a cent , not even a per-cent
Of what a dollar worth
He was getting tired of earth
(You got the formula show me listen I’ll observe)
What he should have said , instead he grab a gat
Put it to his head then pull the trigger back
I take it back
I take it back
Look at what you did you could never take it back
Mah I’m sorry
Dad I miss you
All these pills in my system that I misused
Lady told me , but I didn’t listen
Tried to guide me I was so dismissive
Got my life right it’s you to thank for that
Glad I chose this path moving forward never back
Chorus
I take it back
I take it back
I take it back, I take it back, I take it back
(All the time when I should have been in school
Building up my knowledge but instead I’m sipping brews)
I take it back
I take it back
(Instead of breaking rules being cool I take it back)
I take it back
I take it back
What done is done you could never take it back
Verse
Not gonna lie, been some time, since I wrote some (Shh)
Working two jobs somehow I’m still broke as (Shh)
Don’t know what I’m doing and I’m getting sick of losing
Love to see me struggle bet they find this (shh) amusing
Un inspired, and I’m tired, of working all these hours
If I get fired, can’t retire, but the world is ours
(Punch in)
How many miles until I reach my destination
Though I smile while the Lord He Always keep me waiting
Waiting for success, waiting for this failure
Waiting in this mess, I he there sometimes I ain’t sure
Wonder if he listening, wonders he created
More I look around I see humans ain’t the greatest
Polluting we doing, destroying the environment
Good and evil, look and pick what side you in
Depression had a hold of me this music only curing me
Look in to my Diary, take it now it’s yours to read
Chorus
I take it back
I take it back
I take it back, I take it back, I take it back
(All the time when I should have been in school
Building up my knowledge but instead I’m sipping brews)
I take it back
I take it back
(Instead of breaking rules being cool I take it back)
I take it back
I take it back
What done is done you could never take it back
Bridge
I take it back all the love that I gave to you
I take it back all the time that I wasted too
I take it back, I take it back,
if you could would you ever take it back
I take it back all the love that I gave to you
I take it back all the time that I wasted too
I take it back, I take it back,
What done is done you could never take it back
