[Verse 1 : Doms Gauge]
I'm so determined
Gonna get there soon I know for certain
But I'm feeling a little bit overburdened
Tryna hold the world till my shoulders hurting
I'm always working
And you're wrong if you think that I don't deserve it
I know my purpose in life is this
So I'm dedicating my life to this
In the lab like a scientist
Trying to eat I want the finest dish
They said that a closed mouth don't get fed
And I've stayed quieter than a hybrid whip
So it's time I flip
And go off the deep end
On my job not often sleeping
D been putting in work
Twenty four seven
See I don't take off for weekends
Carpe Diem
Seize the moment
Now's our time, we need to own it
Cause if we don't then it'll be gone before we even know it
And I can't let it happen
Me and my team gonna get it cracking
I treat this like a job but when I'm gone
I don't get a severance package, so
Any money I earn, I'm gon' spend it all 'for I go
But you know
That I gotta make sure my fam's fine
I want it all, I demand mine
I know it must be my damn time
So lets just say I'm a step away from blowing up like a land mine
Yeah I'm so determined
Always working let me remind you
Seen so many sleepless nights
Locked in the booth with a beat to write to
And one day the whole world's gonna see what I do
And at the same time
I'll see the whole world from an eagle eye view
And I'ma bring my people with me for the ride
I've heard stories from the wise that say we're born to die
Well when that time comes and my life flashes before my eyes
I want these moments to be glorified
[Hook : Doms Gauge]
So I'm working till the day
That we seeing the
Shit that we've been dreaming of
Putting all my time in this
So I haven't been sleeping much
Look in my eyes
You can see I'm so determined
Gotta get there one day
So that's why I'm always working till the day
We can crack a brew
And just look at the view
All my people backing me I'ma give it back to you
Doing what I have to do
Yeah I'm so determined
We'll get there one day
So that's why I'm always working now
[Verse 2 : Doms Gauge]
I'm so determined
Long as I'm alive
So when it's all said and done
And the shows over
And they close the curtains
You can dry your eyes
Born in 1993
And I never had no 9 to 5
But I'm working now
So one day I'll be someone that you idolize
Yeah this life's a wild ride
Tryna find the signs along the way
I just hope that my Momma's safe
Bout time I move from my Pops' place
Tryna buy my Mom and Pops a place
Like why my parents still working for?
I just want em both to retire off me
That's what I'm working towards
And when I was young
I'm sure I got on their nerves of course
But in this game of life
No one has a perfect score
And the world is yours
Y'all told me that
No one will hold me back
I'ma hold my own
Young cat but my soul is grown
On this journey I'm a rolling stone
And Pops gets that Rolling Stone magazine on Sunday
And one day
He gon' look at that front page
And see his son's face
And know I worked so hard for that
I feel like I've been so far and back
With so far to go
Cause I pretty much had to reinvent myself and start from scratch
But I'm here now, it's a new day
Got the mind state of a new me
I've evolved a lot since back when y'all had thought you knew me
The kid is growing into a man, I gotta stand on my own 2 feet
Now isn't it kind of ironic I'm willing to lose sleep to pursue dreams?
And I just hope they come true sooner than later
So I can pay you back for always doing me favors
And I know it doesn't make up for the foolish behavior
But at least we'll all enjoy the fruits of my labor
[Hook : Doms Gauge]
So I'm working till the day
That we seeing the
Shit that we've been dreaming of
Putting all my time in this
So I haven't been sleeping much
Look in my eyes
You can see I'm so determined
Gotta get there one day
So that's why I'm always working till the day
We can crack a brew
And just look at the view
All my people backing me I'ma give it back to you
Doing what I have to do
Yeah I'm so determined
We'll get there one day
So that's why I'm always working now
