(Chorus)
|
I get up every morning bout a quarter to 5
|
Work a steady job just to stay alive
|
Get home and go to bed bout a quarter to 10
|
Gotta go through it all over again
|
|
(Verse)
|
Up early in the morning
|
Just to get a hold of that bread
|
It must be a reason why they call you hustler
|
With all that game running through yo head
|
Work 2 jobs but you¡¯re going through windows
|
Whatever you bad or you done pay the rental
|
Work all day, hustle all night
|
At the end of the month, that money spent all
|
Work it out, overtime
|
Hold by the house if it sold you blind
|
Making sure of that checking sign
|
Putting my stacks up, next in line
|
Yea do that work, then you out
|
A dead end job but you ain¡¯t if I throw
|
But that cash you can¡¯t do without though
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I get up every morning bout a quarter to 5
|
Work a steady job just to stay alive
|
Get home and go to bed bout a quarter to 10
|
Gotta go through it all over again
|
|
(Bridge)
|
If you don¡¯t work, if you don¡¯t work
|
Then you don¡¯t eat, then you don¡¯t eat
|
You don¡¯t pay rent, you don¡¯t pay rent
|
Then you don¡¯t sleep, then you don¡¯t sleep
|
That funky funk, that do that bump
|
And that gasoline, and that gasoline
|
Yea all of the work, yea all of the work
|
Gon hit the streets, gon hit the streets
|
|
(Verse)
|
That drag race, paper chase
|
You want crispy bills all in yo face
|
Credit cards, cash machines
|
Living large and having things
|
Bank accounts, large amounts
|
You was lost but now you found
|
Working make the world go round and round
|
That¡¯s what I¡¯m talking bout
|
Dollars, pounds, euros, yens
|
Even pesos I could stand
|
You can laugh and you can grin
|
But it¡¯s all about those M¡¯s
|
Big checks, purchase
|
Fight or leave, you out of there
|
Workin man make the world go round and round
|
That¡¯s what you boys can get
|
|
(Bridge 2 x2)
|
Some 9 to 5¡¯in it
|
Some 6 to 2¡¯in it
|
Some 2 to 10,
|
11 to 7, the night shift, people do with it
|
|
(Bridge 3)
|
They clock in, they clock in
|
And they clock out, and they clock out
|
And on the weekends, and on the weekends
|
They rock out, they rock out
|
And they locked in, they locked in
|
Money getting locked out the house
|
Remember a way out, all the homies that I got
|
|
(Chorus)
|
I get up every morning bout a quarter to 5
|
Work a steady job just to stay alive
|
Get home and go to bed bout a quarter to 10
|
Gotta go through it all over again
|
|
Quarter to 5
|
Stay alive
|
Quarter to 10
|
Over again
|
