Yeah, it's Miss Isma
Bad gyal in the place
Kraaaa
When the work gets done, it pays off
It feels good because we worked for yesterday and today
Mama stands there; she doesn't block my path
Haters will always exist - some paths are bright, others feel good to them
I wasn't born with bags of money for myself
Everything I have, I fought for it - fought to make it, fought to eat
Hard times hurt, but there's no sitting still
My peace was hard-won before I could shine
Living in struggle gives no rest
Nothing here is easy, but we work
‘No pain, no gain' - that's a fact
No lazy person becomes rich
Life is hard, but it's not short
The road is long, but it's not short
Destiny doesn't run from difficulty
Some talk about success, others talk nonsense
They don't move fast, they just act like it
Stay on the road, stay in the fight - push until you win, your mother is waiting
If you forget, let me remind you
You're a bandit, you want me like Jet Li
You drink until collapse - no technique
I'm not just anyone - I'm your leader
You fight? Then I fight
With words too, I fight
You fight? Then I fight
I fight until the money stacks on my side
Motherfucker, motherfucker
Like Stevie Wonder, I keep working - nothing can stop us
You waste time, living loud, acting big money - that's what I want
Money is in my blood
Sleeping won't make it happen for us - we win like kids who learned early
I'll dazzle your eyes, fill my pockets
You have to pray hard to the heavens
Because I'll brand you, boy - I wrote your chapter, boy
Everything I earn goes straight to Mama
Don't think that's ever enough, boy
No lazy person becomes rich
Life is hard, but it's not short
The road is long, but it's not short
Destiny doesn't run from difficulty
Some talk about success, others talk nonsense
They don't move fast, they just act like it
Stay on the road, stay in the fight - push until you win, your mother is waiting
If you forget, let me remind you
You're a bandit, you want me like Jet Li
You drink until collapse - no technique
I'm not just anyone - I'm your leader
You fight? Then I fight
With words too, I fight
You fight? Then I fight
I fight until the money stacks on my side
