Aceyalone - Workin' Man's Blues lyrics

(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
