What We Do
Mr. Trippalot Lyrics

Good things take time, unless you're a watch thief
Success takes time and effort, unless you cheat your way to the top

Way too kind, then I got mean
I used to be too nice but had to toughen up to succeed

Not 'mean' cause I've never been average
I'm not 'mean', just not satisfied with being average

And never been a loser, had to prove it and I had to win
I've always strived to be a winner and had to work hard to prove it

Fine tuning, been improving on my acumen
I'm constantly improving my skills and knowledge

I had to have a strategy to balance every facet and
I had to develop a strategy to balance all aspects of my life

Keep it moving, had to tap into the passion
I had to keep pushing forward and tap into my passion to succeed

If you never see me do it I actually met a tragic end
If I'm not successful, it's like I've met a tragic end

That's exactly how I got here
My hard work and dedication led me to where I am today

Mixing what I love, hard work and a lot of weird
I mix my passion with hard work and unconventional methods to succeed

They're sleeping on me let them take naps
People underestimate me, but they'll regret it later when they realize my worth

Know that it's a hit when they only wanna say whack
People criticize you when you're doing well, but you know you're hitting it big

I hope they kept the receipts, cause they were talking smack bout me and now they gotta take it back
I hope they have a good reason for talking negatively about me because they'll have to admit their mistake later

I got dreams that I'll make facts
My dreams will become reality

Wonder how the hell I stand out when I'm laid back
People wonder how I manage to stand out when I don't do things traditionally or aggressively

And I do what I do
I do what I do best and stay true to myself

I bounce right back if I lose and I lose Stay true to my view
I keep pushing forward even if I fail, and remain true to my values

Cause imma go and make it imma prove it to you
I'll go and make my dreams a reality and prove my worth to those who underestimated me

It makes sense to me, it's confusing to you
My methods make sense to me but may not make sense to others

And I can do whatever when I do what I do
I have the ability to succeed in whatever I set my mind to when I do what I do best

And I do what I do and pursue what I choose cause I used to be stagnant
I pursue my goals and dreams because I refuse to stay stagnant and unfulfilled

If you knew what I'd truly been through I imagine you'd view with compassion
If others knew my struggles, they would understand and empathize with me

Knowing I still lack confidence and never had a confidant for me to confide in
I struggle with confidence and have never had someone to confide in

I had to do it for myself, and I had to let you know you can do it too if I did
I had to rely on myself to achieve success, but I hope to inspire others to do the same

I just try to set examples, and hope to see a spike in anybody that's digging it
I try to set a positive example and hope to inspire others to follow their dreams

You don't need to understand it, I handle it
Others may not understand how I succeed, but I know how to handle it

Damn, I be slamming my fist in it
I put a lot of hard work and passion into my success

That was more than a punch line - math, keep it up it'll equal out in sum time
My achievements are more than just a clever joke; if I keep working hard, it will all pay off in the end

Still got a hunger in my belly and a lot to digest when we're nearly at lunch time
I still have a hunger for success and have a lot to achieve, even though I've already come so far
