Lyrics
[Intro: Shady Nasty]
Oh fuck, I’m not doin’ that shit
Got to be
Got to be, got to, got to be
[Pre-Chorus: Shady Nasty]
Tough love, you’re not workin’ hard enough
(Got to, got to be)
Tough love, you’re not workin’ hard enough
(Got to, got to be)
Tough love, you’re not workin’ hard enough
(Got to be, got to, got to be)
Get bust, I can feel my whole body
(Got to, got to)
[Chorus: Shady Nasty]
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
(You’re not workin’ hard enough)
That’s a lot, maybe not, maybe not
[Verse: Shady Nasty]
Watch my credits roll
This shit reminds me it’s for my eyes only, my life only
I swear I heard applause when I hit the floor
Tryna take another breath
Tryna take another breath
Tryna take another breath
Back up, back up, back up on the wall
Found enough not to forget
Two-one-nine-four be the home, be the best
You can smell it on my breath
You can see it on my chest
[Chorus: Shady Nasty]
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
(You’re not workin’ hard enough)
[Post-Chorus: Shady Nasty]
Got to be
[Chorus: Shady Nasty]
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
I’ve run my life in miles
That’s a lot, that’s a lot, maybe not
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
I’ve run my life in miles
That’s a lot, huh, maybe not
Got to be
[Build: Shady Nasty]
Tough love, you’re not workin’ hard enough
Tough love, you’re not workin’ hard enough
I can feel my whole body burn
Tough love, you’re not workin’ hard enough
Get bust, I can feel my whole body burn
I can feel, I can, I can feel
I can feel my whole body burn
Tough love, you’re not workin’ hard enough
Get bust, I can feel my whole body burn
I can feel my whole body burn, huh
[Drop: Shady Nasty]
Got to be
Got to be hardstyle, my style, hostile
That’s a lot, huh, maybe not, maybe not
