"Hard Work" by Artemis Patches (...

Deleting Hard Work Part 1+2 after a couple days, as this revision is much better

Just need to work on the chorus

 

Start mixing art with your thesis

 

Verse 1 (0:20)

Sometimes, effort's not enough

Succeeding in this life takes a lot of luck

Lotta tolerance for the boss's buck

And a job you're forced to work til your thoughts erupt

Ears are tangled up in thoughts I conjured up

But if I wanna win I must be soft enough

To be agreeable to those on top of us

And act so that there never is a loss of trust

There's no time to waste, so let me speak precisely

If I keep my grind up and I pick what I do wisely

My course is Coruscant versus working on Mos Eisley

I know it's going down like that, you can even cite me

 

Chorus (0:53)

If effort was enough every hard worker would prosper

I don't have much to give except the effort I can offer

Give me just one shot and you will see what I can do

I'm short on shots already so damn right I'll see it through

Building up my resume in whatever way I could

Fighting through the hard times and then cherishing the good

Remembering the ones that trusted me when nobody would

 

Chorus Part 2 (1:16)

Cuz I've been pouring my days and my nights in proving

That I'm correct in my confidence

But I'm somehow afraid that God has forgotten me

Somewhere among all of the rest

 

Verse 2

Is there a way to sway the odds inside your favor?

Elevate your paper and become a public figure?

If you some got years to spare, invest your hours early

Developing a network and a skill to make you worthy

Of the upper echelon that your eyes are set upon

So you can dine with gods on freshly cut filet mignon

And have a supermodel girlfriend laced up in Louis Viton

Who you know's important, might as well start when you're young
