Workin On Me

They call me D, man
I read this thing that said, "you're your biggest project"
I like that
Anyway, yeah

I'm working on me
I'm talking 40 hours, no breaks
Plenty of tea, that's real
See, my dream couldn't fit in your sleep
I zip code proudly the same
I still do not live in your reach
I'm out of here

Don't ever think that you can hurt me
A peace of mind you will find on me if you search me
The goal is to live on earth
Without thinking of living earthly

I get off track
I just pray to God to alert me
I'll be ready, though (I)
Where we heading, though? (I)
I'm going to get what's mine (I)

Ain't no begging, though (I)
Ain't no stressing, though (I)
But they already know (I)
I cut that off
If they can't help me reach my blessing, though

Let's keep it brief
I limit my mistakes to keep me feeling honest
Live the way that frees me from a guilty conscience
My heart and mind got so much going on
But I'm going to try to do my best
Until God call me home

I be easin' on by
I be thinkin' of a way, will you see me goin' by
And no matter what season goin' by
I be stayin' out the way, I be easin' on by

Yeah, I'm working on me
I'm talking 80 hours
No breaks, plenty of tea, that's real
You say I can't? Oh, that's a BET
Hey, they must think I'm playing

Show me the PPE
I'll show you how to build a beast
My energy keep me from talking average
Safety glasses really protect me from all distractions
I benefit from the grind connected to no attachments
I fall and get back up, you be tripping
They call it balance, that ain't me right there (I)

Let that be right there (I)
Gotta keep on going (I)
It ain't that deep right there (I)
I don't see peace right there (I)
Then I can't be right there (I)
I have a vision really only I can see right there
I'm working on it

For the ones who believe in me
I'm still learning not to get frustrated so easily
I'm still learning how to keep on growing with decency
And to remain focused
No point in feeling hopeless if you know this

I'll be easin' on by, yeah
I'll be thinkin' of a way, will you see me goin' by, yeah
And no matter what season goin' by, yeah
I'll be stayin' out the way, I'll be easin' on by

Hey, hold on, man
Let's say if the world fixed every issue that we have today
You'd still be fighting with those
Same demons that you fight with

I realize if I'm not at my best
I can't give you my best, right?

Work on you, man
That'll fix a lot
