Work on Myself

Track 44 of 15

Work on Myself

Triumphant, Architectural, Vindicated. From rejection to Boss Level.

About This Track

A glow-up anthem in three escalating chapters — New Level, High Level, Boss Level. From the rubble of being told 'you're not my spec,' he rebuilds the man as a system. By the bridge, the only seat she gets is the front row.

Lyrics

I remember when I dey beg for attention, reception

You give me pure rejection, no correction

You cut me deep, like a C-section

You shatter my mind, my whole perception

I remember when I dey beg for attention, reception

You give me pure rejection, no correction

You cut me deep, like a C-section

You shatter my mind, my whole perception

I remember when I dey beg for attention, reception

You give me pure rejection, no correction

You cut me deep, like a C-section

You shatter my mind, my whole perception

You tell me say I no be your spec, I no get effect

I look my bank account, e get defect

I dey for darkness, I dey reflect

You laugh at my pain, zero respect

Omo, e bad.

But I take that pain, I draft the plan

I kill the old me, the "lesser" man

I turn my sorrow into a flame

Now K Street dey scream my name

I enter the gym, I dey push the P

Now your new man no fit compile with me!

Now you see me, I'm on a New Level!

Structural integrity, I fight with the devil!

Now everybody wan follow me move

My life on fire, I got in my groove!

You look at me now, but you're just a fan

You had your chance, you redlined the man!

I'm on a New Level! A New Level!

E-choke! You're just a fan!

Six-pack popping, the blueprint dey show

Equity jumping, the portfolio grow

My DM is flooded, from models you know

From Potomac to London, I put on a show

I'm a different creature, a different beast

The stone you rejected is now the keystone piece

My enemies hungry, I give them a feast

My time is proprietary, e no fit be leased

The glow-up is analytical, presidential

My new life is sweet, e consequential

I move like a boss, it's confidential

I'm the final draft, I'm the essential!

But I take that pain, I build the vault

I kill the old me, it wasn't my fault

I turn my sorrow into a check

Put all the logic on my wrist and neck

I enter the work, I dey push the E

Now your new man no fit consult with me!

Now you see me, I'm on a High Level!

From the darkness, I fight with the devil!

Now everybody wan follow me move

My life on fire, I got in my groove!

You look at me now, but you're just a fan

You had your chance, you vetoed the man!

I'm on a High Level! A High Level!

E-choke! You're just a fan!

I pull up in EVs, I pull up in Ghost

I am the author, the one they dey post

You wanted distance? I give you the coast

Raising my glass, I propose a toast—

To the haters, the fakers, the ones who relate

You see the infrastructure on top of my plate?

It's premium, baby, I code my own fate

You want a meeting? You gon' have to wait

I switch up the syntax, switch up the style

I haven't thought of your face in a while

I look at the ledger and start to smile

You ran a meter, I designed the whole mile!

But I take that pain, I build a shrine

I kill the old me, I'm doing fine

I turn my sorrow into a crown

Nothing can stop me or pull me down

I enter the Boardroom, I hold the key

Now your new man wants to intern for me!

Now you see me, I'm on a Boss Level!

System architecture, I fight with the devil!

Now everybody wan follow me move

My life on fire, I got in my groove!

You look at me now, but you're just a fan

You had your chance, you archived the man!

I'm on a Boss Level! A Boss Level!

E-choke! You're just a fan!

So I see you last night... for inside The Wharf

You push through the crowd, looking like a dwarf

You text me "I miss you", "I made a mistake"

You see this my workflow? You can't comprehend

I'll be nice to you, I no go pretend

But me and you, baby? The narrative ends

You see my table? E don extend

You got a long way to go, my friend!

A very, very long legacy to build!

And by the time you reach my level...

I'll be on a summit you cannot climb!

You're out of the edit, you ran out of time!

So step aside, make you watch the show

You're just a fan, in the very front row!

Boss Level! Boss Level!

Just a fan, just a fan!

I'm on a Boss Level!

You had your chance, you deleted the man

Now you're nothing...

Nothing more than a fan.
