[Dappy:]
Haha
Ayy, sing along to this one

[Dappy {Dappy & Tulisa}:]
I never thought I would ever get this far, but I guess I was wrong
Work, work
{To me there's no such thing as giving up}
You can be anything you wanna be, put your mind to it then
{You'll succeed in life}
I never thought I would ever get this far, but I guess I was wrong
Hustle, hustle
{To me there's no such thing as giving up}
You can do anything you wanna do, {keep at it, keep at it then}
You'll succeed in life (Oi, oi)

[Dappy {Tulisa}:]
See them stones can be used so well
'Cah the money comes in bunches in space of hours (Ah)
I don't wanna work for no prick
I'd rather chill here underneath these towers
But nor do I wanna go in jail and me have to look back every time I'm in the showers (Nah, {oh})
Are you mad? I've got a number one to make {Oh}
Cheques to receive that you wouldn't believe
Oi, T, show off your voice, {yeah}

[Fazer (Dappy):]
See me I scream for the scrape on taxman rate (Oi)
Government wonder why we show hate
When there's kids saying, "Mummy, I'm starving hungry, need food in my tummy" (Nah)
Mama's crying out loud now 'cause she don't got no money (Oh)
See she puts the kids first, she ain't ate for days
Exhausted, feeling worn out
See I've been there before
Rice and corn, beef for like four weeks, shit

[Tulisa (Dappy):]
So whatever you work as, make sure you keep at it
(I've seen a lot of lives go to waste)
But as for me

[Dappy (Tulisa) {Both}:]
I never thought I would ever get this far, but I guess I was wrong (Oh)
Work, work
{To me there's no such thing as giving up}
You can be anything you wanna be, {put your mind to it then}
{You'll succeed in life} (You will succeed)
I never thought I would ever get this far, but I guess I was wrong
Hustle, hustle
(To me there's no such thing as giving up)
You can do anything you wanna do, {keep at it, keep at it then}
You'll succeed in life

[Tulisa (Dappy):]
I can be what I wanna be, my life can't be worthless
There's got to be a point in living
I'll keep up 'til I succeed (Haha)
It's never enough, there's more I can achieve
Ain't got no time for no boyfriends these days
I gotta stay focused, move things in my way (Oh)
I've got to stay on top in this industry
These little Greek chicks' got style you ain't never seen (Yeah, yeah)
So my friends want a piece of me (Huh)
Haters wanna see me bleed
I got to be, have to be, on top of my game

[Tulisa & Dappy (Dappy) {Tulisa}:]
So whatever you work as, make sure you keep at it
(I've seen a lot of lives go to waste)
{But as for me}

[Dappy (Tulisa) {Both}:]
I never thought I would ever get this far, but I guess I was wrong (Ooh)
Work, work
{To me there's no such thing as giving up}
You can be anything you wanna be, {put your mind to it then}
{You'll succeed in life} (You will succeed)
I never thought I would ever get this far, but I guess I was wrong (Oh)
Hustle, hustle
{To me there's no such thing as giving up}
You can do anything you wanna do, {keep at it, keep at it then}
You'll succeed in life

[Dappy {Fazer} *Tulisa*:]
Some people live a perfect life, spending thousands
{Us in the gutter}, nunchucks make mothers cry by the thousands (Ah)
If they only knew how it is where we grew, the things that we've seen
{They wouldn't call us thugs and we put our chin chins up so}
*So what the hell is going on in the world of today?*
I don't really know, could you tell me, T?
*But I can't work it out (Nah), but I can't work it out*
And what about us? *We'll survive, yeah*

[Dappy (Tulisa) {Both}:]
I never thought I would ever get this far, {but I guess I was wrong}
Work, work
{To me there's no such thing as giving up}
You can be anything you wanna be, {put your mind to it then}
{You'll succeed in life} (Oh, oh)
I never thought I would ever get this far, but I guess I was wrong
Hustle, hustle
{To me there's no such thing as giving up}
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
You can do anything you wanna do, {keep at it, keep at it then}
You'll succeed in life (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Dappy (Tulisa) {Fazer}:]
Oi
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
See mama keeps wishing for a new kitchen
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
{She needs more space when she cooks her chicken}
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
{Times are hard, bruv}
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
It's a family of five, two-bedroom flat
{Oi, oi, oi, Dappy left that, man, left that}
Now tell me if you could relate to that?
