Verse 1:
The man upstairs is testing me
All planned out and he tossed the key
Facing doubt, doubt let me be
But you won’t find that fear in me, no fear me
I do believe it's time to come to peace
Take what mine and turn the key
Back on the grind I’m a hit the street
Roots run deep put em on the beat
Back on the beat, never the loose the beat
What’s goin’ on in my city when the ones I count on turn on me?
What’s the deal, how should I feel?
Look your brother in the eye and he can’t be real

Chorus:
I work hard and the hammer drop
Need a little bit a luck and a little bit of grace
And a lot more faith in my destiny
I work hard and the hammer drop
Got a little bit of truth and bit more soul
Got a fire in my heart burning out of control
The hammer drop on me

Verse 2:
I work my fingers to the bone, I just try to play these shows
Goin’ 80 down the road then my tire popped
Promised myself long ago that I’d always reach my goals
And I’ll give it everything I got
Now 25 playing ball with my best friend, that night watched the Colorado sun set
I looked you in your eyes, you spoke your last breath
Good bye is not forever you will always be remembered
As a kid I looked up to my dad but I remember hard times, the temper he had
He let the hammer drop, the whole family stopped
You wouldn’t understand that reference if I started from the top
I asked the man upstairs will it ever stop?
He said probably not and I said okay
I’m a walk a rocky road and go my own way, yeah I said ole to all the BS
I’m praying out to rabbis, buddhas, now I’m screamin’ Jesus
Take these broken pieces cuz I’m bleedin’ and I think I need you cuz I

I work hard try to drop the hammer
They get caught up in fame and glamour
My lead singer likes to rock bandana
In the van and he eat banana
I work hard through them dog days nights
We up late trying to get it right
See they talk shit but they don’t fight
They lack backbone but rich in spite
Well I work hard trying to get this on girl
I smoke my shit and I sing my song girl
But this time I gotta hit the shed
Playing shows and we stacking bread
Hit the road travel coast to coast
We play these shows and we do the most
The hammer drops and I take a toast
I said down with the bullshit then the hammer drop
