Work lyrics

[Verse 1: Kristoff Krane]

Not too long ago I figured out how to explore

From laying on the floor I got up, opened the door

You can get your hopes high but in time they'd just want more

I can blame a raindrop or stand naked in the storm

From young and full of answers to old and no more questions

The road's ahead of me and I'm the one with the directions for

The slow dance is always shorter on the way back

From the top of the world to a needle in a haystack

I play back images, memories, innocence

Everything that makes me feel like I can be a kid again

Perfection died in my head when I just let it go

Connection, why take the chance? Guess I'll never know

[Verse 2: Slug]

No, never I'll be the go-getter

While these flaws try to draw a few more better smiles

Standing on top of this low level housing

I'd probably jump if I thought it's gonna crowd please

Stars fall farthest, wise up, you shouldn't get

A small target, my luck I wouldn't hit

I'm looking for the good, where'd you put it?

It's underneath the footprints, the ones that I push with

It's kinda like forgetting how to ride a bike

When your life is designed on the past you tryna fight

Somewhere between flying a kite and high on a pipe

I'm burning this inflammable rope with a pilot light

[Hook: Kristoff Krane & Slug]

K: I gotta work, work where the weather permits

The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get

S: What's it worth?

K: That depends on what you measure it with

S: May you learn another lesson that you never forget

K: I gotta search, search for whatever it is

The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get

S: Does it hurt?

K: That depends on what you measure it with

S: May you learn another lesson that you never forget

[Verse 3: Kristoff Krane]

Do you realize what you're capable of

If you quit taking those drugs? Leave it or take it as love

Wake the fuck up, it's a hard enough time

Tryna make it out without another stranger to trust

See, not too long ago before I finally got the good news

You can always press record but you can never click undo it

Made me think, I guess I have to plan before I sink into the sand

'Cause in a blink I could lose everything

So what more can I say?

Yesterday is history and I'll be born today

And with the guidance from my friends and the support from those I hold dear

Find me on the other side of the fence when the smoke clears

[Breakdown: Slug]

You can't fall asleep with the monkey on your back

You can't look forward when you're staring in the past

You can't feel alive unless you die through your head

And if it raps this way I clap the world back

[Verse 4: Slug]

It's that bad moon darkness waiting on the harvest

Back in the past, threw karma from my carpet

Break the harness, escape from the sharks

Just to argue about who's pavement was the hardest

This narcissistic heart skips

But it's harmless so let's get this pity party started

Survive the suicide, hanging from the armrest

I'm tryna stay smart and sharpen up the dart tips

I gotta play my part till I'm departed

Put your finger in my carcass on the inside of the margins

Plant my soul in your yard and grow a garden

Spill a little bit of ink there to mark it

[Hook: Kristoff Krane & Slug]

K: I gotta work, work where the weather permits

The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get

S: What's it worth?

K: That depends on what you measure it with

S: May you learn another lesson that you never forget

K: I gotta search, search for whatever it is

The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get

S: Does it hurt?

K: That depends on what you measure it with

S: May you learn another lesson that you never forget

K: I gotta work, work where the weather permits

The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get

S: What's it worth?

K: That depends on what you measure it with

S: May you learn another lesson that you never forget

K: I gotta search, search for whatever it is

The only opportunity I'm ever gonna get

S: Does it hurt?

K: That depends on what you measure it with

S: May you learn another lesson that you never forget
