"Trying to bear fruit, but first off I got to sow seeds...work"

I have at one point in my life worked five jobs on top of the music. And yet God has given strength and endurance to make my week one of joy and productivity. But yet, it is fulfilling the great commission that has been the greatest and most honourable job to do!

The first thing God gave man was a job, and He even gave him a wife to help him do it! I love work, but it must not end with my glory and benefit, but it must end with God's glory! Every conversation is best done with people being encouraged or convicted by the gospel, and everything I do must contribute to fulfilling what God has laid out for me as His servant.

This is an anthem I want to be played at my funeral; I want to go out as a man who worked hard for God in all areas of my life!

lyrics

All I do is work

An Insomniac at its finest, chasing my nightmares, living all my daydreams
Giving God glory, staying prostrate to His highness
Most High, yet the flyest
Drawn beyond the veil by His kindness
All men cursed, and sick, we know the sinus
Blindness is why they ask where the sign is
Believe the name God sent, John 6:29 work

I rest in the Lord’s works
33 years, my life sentence, and then some
Called to this duty
A marksman, gaining all perks
A well of living water for those who got thirst

Coup De Grace, Hova gave me a word for the future
I got the keys, who is safe
Truth, go overheads, but I gotta aim, for crosshairs(heirs)
In all directions like I’m shooting strafe, pow work

All I do is work
(Like It's my day job)
Give these dudes church
(Can't take no days off)
All I do is work
(Like it's my day job)
Give these dudes church
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
Work

Just a black guy from the north side
Walking by faith, I’m living with closed eyes
Ey day’s a funeral, my team follow suit
A three cord bond, neck-deep like bow ties
Got soul ties
A cannon on my waist side
Clique covered in the blood… bros got the same genes
Iron sharpens iron so we make seems
And whoever's anemic we add steam and we press on

And God regenerates heat
Makes me unashamed of the name
Light the flame in my heart
Do I really love those?
Foes who hate me for loving you, bring light to the Dark!
Lamp where I walk, got em on lock
Pray(prey) on all men like a ravenous hawk
Be a herald of the truth, and lead em to the arc
Unplug that bull music and pass them my aux, work!

All I do is work
(Like It's my day job)
Give these dudes church
(Can't take no days off)
All I do is work
(Like it's my day job)
Give these dudes church
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work

If I don’t preach Christ, I’ve lost them instead
Lying in regret, but their coffin is bed
Want thoughts captive, like off with his head
Cuts through pride, can’t deny what it said
To see men rise like bread, Christ died to give life, He rains, love covered in red
I walk amongst tombstones, I talk to the dead
And The Ghost who fills host, the body’s been led
Each element, doing what it’s supposed ta
Move mountains, spark revivals
Calm, winds, split seas

Heaven bound, the avatar state is astounding, bends the earth with ease
I can stand before any man if I’m bowed to almighty God, face down on my knees ugh
Planted like a tree
Tryna bear fruit, but first, off I gotta sow seeds, work!

All I do is work
(Like It's my day job)
Give these dudes church
(Can't take no days off)
All I do is work
(Like it's my day job)
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
All I do is work
Work
