  • Oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh
    Oh, oh-oh
    If I could do it, then why can't you? (Oh-oh)
    Oh, oh-oh
    Get up and make it work (oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)

    Yo, if I could do it, then why can't you?
    Huh, get up and make it work
    Ain't no way that I'm sitting around
    It's now or never, I'm picking it first (yeah, I'm picking it first)
    You can't tell me that I won't make it
    Knew that I had this gift since birth (I knew)
    Grinding, came out the mud like Roddy, I had nobody, I came from dirt
    Still came far, cah (yeah) I put in the work
    Painting a picture when I write lyrics
    Don't call me a rapper, I'm really an artist
    This weren't by chance or luck
    I took one shot and I hit my target (one shot)
    I'm not even yet in my prime, I'm not at a hundred, yeah, I'm still charging
    They don't wanna see me win, but I know in the end I'm winning regardless

    Sleepless nights, I was up in the stu'
    Up, up in the booth tryna make me a hit
    Even when I was feeling low, man, I kept on going
    I weren't gon' quit (weren't gon' quit)
    I can't wait for the day that I make it
    Next in line, man, I feel like a king
    My time will come, I just gotta be patient
    Keep on pushing and take these risks
    I made racks off putting my pain on tracks
    Grinding hard tryna to see more plaques (plaques)
    I've been going harder than ever
    I don't have time to sit and relax (I don't)
    I've been putting in countless hours
    I'm still not near where I wanna be at (not yet)
    This year I'm gonna prove them wrong
    They said that I can't, but I know that I can

    If I could do it, then why can't you?
    Huh, get up and make it work
    Ain't no way that I'm sitting around
    It's now or never, I'm picking it first (yeah, I'm picking it first)
    You can't tell me that I won't make it
    Knew that I had this gift since birth (I knew)
    Grinding came out the mud like Roddy, I had nobody, I came from dirt
    Painting a picture when I write lyrics
    Don't call me a rapper, I'm really an artist (I'm more than that)
    This weren't by chance or luck
    I took one shot and I hit my target
    I'm not even yet in my prime, I'm not at 100, yeah, I'm still charging (still charging)
    They don't wanna see me win, but I know in the end I'm winning regardless
    If I could do it, then why can't you?
    Huh, get up and make it work
    Ain't no way that I'm sitting around
    It's now or never, I'm picking it first (yeah, I'm picking it first)
    You can't tell me that I won't make it
    Knew that I had this gift since birth (I knew)
    Grinding came out the mud like Roddy, I had nobody, I came from dirt

    (Grinding came out the mud like Roddy, I had nobody, I came from dirt)
