Josh Jacobs - Work

“Take yo breath, this is it, this is as far as you get, this yo ending, reached yo limit, no commitment , no intent, no ambition, you ain’t driven, you ain’t really bout this shit, you ain’t sacrificing nothing,
You ain’t never been legit”
That’s the devil talking to you,
That’s the monkey brain,
He puttin thoughts inside yo head that make you think that you might go Insane,
You ain’t tryna feel the pain,
Comfort be that novicane,
Stuck inside a cycle that’s familiar cause it’s all the same,
Money, power, shorties, smoking L’s and sipping 40s, watching tv for 6 hours, ain’t up early in the morning,
Sulking over where you are instead of knowing where you going,
Crying over what you lost, insteading of knowing that your growing,
This is therapy for me,
Hurt is turning to a cancer,
Always questioning myself,
When I already know the answers,
Things get clearer When write,
When I think about it first ,
My potential is on high,
When I already know my worth

Confidence is key,
I hope y’all agree, (yea)
Sensitivity is cool, but to a degree (yea),
Insecurities be really turning nothing into something unless something is in front of you but you ain’t sayin nothin,
They be throwing out the red flags like a challenge,
Use your kindness for a weakness just to take advantage,
Treating people like they gold,
When some are below average,
Some are real,
Some you can’t tell by how crazy the mask is, uh,
Friend or foe or ex or hoe or someone that you wanna cuff,
Placing expectations or some people that don’t know enough,
They don’t owe you shit, so get over it,
Family too,
Can’t stand by themselves what make you think that they gon stand for you, uh,
This is therapy, this is how im making sense,
Of everything around me,
Take it in so I won’t take offense,
Striving for success, when I don’t know how it’s defined,
Till I look deep in myself, and then apply it to my grind I

(Hook)

Relapse, detox, relax, see where you be at,
Addictive habits and vindictive acts of passion and cleanex to wipe the tears from your face as you face your ego and see that,
Your ego is like a drug and withdrawals are making you react,
Like mental patients with no patients ain’t taking no medication,
And sit in soclution until you wait for a revelation,
Predicated on saving your life when your in control of ya mental state,
But ya ego is preventing your elevation,
But that ain’t no excuse,
Standing still in your emotions will get you killed
To survive, you keep you emotions in motion,
And moving forward in stride,
While you keep a constant composure,
Right,
Cause nothing that is worth doing will be done over night,
I got it,
Let me take the wheel on this road to life,
Ima hold it tight as I fight noise of this poltergeist,
Putting in my hours till I put to rest the pain and doubt, and fight so I give something to talk about, ima put in

(Hook)
