Work Hard, Pray Harder (Outro)

from What's A Man to Do? by Alcott

lyrics

Verse 1:
Ever since a kid man I was seeking purpose
Prayed to reach the weak with what I speak in verses
Till it breach the surface of their hearts and then some peace emerges
Praise God for each release that’s purchased
Yeah
Last song better savor it
Y’all find it difficult picking a favorite
That’s pretty typical when it’s amazing as
this is no misses my digits is bound to start raising when
Y’all start to take it in
Uh
Used to spend all of my time on a girl but now it’s just rapping
Like how in the hell did this happen
I’m seldom relaxing
Just working
And I’ve always held to my passion
When
Hope was low
I was broke down and emotional
I was pissed and convinced that surely this ain’t how it’s supposed to go
If I’d only known
That my music would have more appeal than appellate courts
Mediocrity’s nothin to settle for
Never sellin short
Myself
Been blessed with a freedom never felt before

Hook:
They don’t really know a single thing about me
I don’t even know exactly who I’m gonna be
But that’s ok now I know that’s true
What’s a man to do? What’s a man to do? Do?
Work hard pray harder

Verse 2:
Lemme wrap things up by sayin that I’m just gettin started
I been thru some things almost made me so heartless
But I just worked harder and prayed at my hardest
Now
When I’m in crisis
I do my best to not give in to vices
Better instead to start lookin where Christ is
I never know just how crazy this life gets
Look
There was so many days I about quit
It was tough gettin up when the doubts hit
But I found my courage and I got encouraged by Every single verse that I outdid
Witness the growth
I got Lecrae sayin this kid is dope
While I was focused on passing my classes my heart wasn’t in em, man this isn’t home
I was at a top 15 university
No one knew I Got big dreams and this urge in me
Urging me
Urgently
Homie you built for this music so own it with vigor and certainty
Certainly Ima have moments of feelin im lost and nothin I’m doin is really important
But
Ima Find something I would die for and ima live for it
Oh Lord

Hook
