| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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

| 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
|
| 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

| Some 6 to 2'in it
|

|
| 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
|
| 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 |
