[Intro: Call Me Ace]
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work

[Verse 1: Call Me Ace]
High Grade
I’m just the seed that grew out the dirt
Lil’ sunflower didn’t know my worth
When I dream big it feel like a curse
That’s until I put my dreams to work
That’s when me and heaven both align
Stomp the ground until them demons hurt
Wanna know what’s all up in my mind
I’m in REM mode please do not disturb
We all livin’ life on borrowed time
Still they wanna come to borrow mine
Not concerned I know that if I give
I’ll get back at least like double times
Baby when it come to me and mines
I blank out and hit that double time
Black on Black nah we ain’t talkin’ crime
That’s just excellence when multiplied

[Chorus: Call Me Ace]
Work
Work it like you mean it (work)
All year all season (work)
Black out black season (work)
Ah yea repeat it (work)
Work it like you mean it (work)
All year all season (work)
Black out black season (work)
Yea
[Bridge: Call Me Ace]
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work

[Verse 2: Mick Jenkins]
It’s been a while since that 9-to-5
I had to make that a 7-to-3, you ten-four?
Kick a n***a the truth like he can’t vote
Even kinfolk will play Dikembe
I act swift and wax worse than sensei
Smoke strong I slow roll my timbo
Limbo I pole vault and then show
It’s really not that difficult to lower the bar
Don’t really parlay all day
Borderline like its pesos
Hammer Time, got fam on the payroll
Buss a toe roll n***a did a slow grind
Coalmine big flame for the bovine
Goldmine big frame for the art piece
Black skin on the artiste
Excellence is the motif
Show season and show me
A lot of ya’ll ain’t workin’ right

[Chorus: Call Me Ace]
Work
Work it like you mean it (work)
All year all season (work)
Black out black season (work)
Ah yea repeat it (work)
Work it like you mean it (work)
All year all season (work)
Black out black season (work)
Yea
[Outro: Call Me Ace]
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work
