King Mez - All in a Day's Work lyrics

[Intro: Jimmy Iovine] Fear, fear's a powerful thing. I mean it's got a lot of firepower. If you can figure out a way to wrestle that fear to push you from behind rather than to stand in front of you, that's very powerful. I always felt that I had to work harder than the next guy, just to do as well as the next guy. And to do better than the next guy, I had to just k**. And you know, to a certain extent, that's still with me in how I work, you know, I just... go in [Verse 1: Anderson .Paak] Sittin' 'bout a hundred stories up, like what the f**? And I'm just lookin' at it all I'll be right here in Los Angeles Lookin' like a villain layin' low Nothin' I can do but pack it all up Goin' up, but sh**, I feel the love Spotlight on me and I'm feelin' so rare tonight Actin' a fool and feelin' alive I'm f**in' flawless like I live in a vault Only type of livin' I know [Bridge (Over interlude)] Only type of living I Only type of living I Only type of living I Only type of living I know Only type of living I Only type of living I know [Interlude: Anderson .Paak + Dr. Dre] See if it was you you would've k**ed yourself by now It takes a special kind of mothaf**a to live like this And they ask me how I do it Mothaf**a just take a look around Best believe I'm in the buildin' I hear you mothaf**as talkin' and all that but uh No, no, don't mention me at all Yeah comin' live and direct And I know you feelin' some type of way about it, but uh Watch your mouth, I dare your a** to say somethin' I thought it was all good But now you mothaf**as crossed the line Kinda pissin' me off All the fans and all the fame, and though I gave everything to this game They still complain Now what the f** do y'all expect me to do? There's so much f**in' pressure There's so much pressure And it's all in a day's work [Bridge 2: Marsha Ambrosius & Anderson .Paak] Work, hard Workin' so hard 24/7, 3-6-5 365, hard work It's all in a day's work [Verse 2: Dr. Dre + Anderson .Paak] My whole life all I ever thought about is grindin' Even though my surroundings only showed me crime and violence That was back when a rapper needed guns way more than a stylist And that was back when I felt like rappers was true mothaf**in' riders Or even back in the day when I was a f**in' youngster man sh** I was still sayin', "f** the police" Born and raised in the belly of the beast I had a dream that we was at peace But I was so wrong.. so wrong Y'all too wrapped up in the bullsh** and bias Now reality TV is talking 'bout pulpits and choirs Some of these hoes give less than a f** when they runnin' their life story by us It's the worst when I'm in a hotel, like a Hilton sick and tired Some of these housewives way too f**in' desperate These b**hes thinkin' fame first I can't knock the hustle, sh** it's all in a day's work But that's that sh** with potential to make the game worse sh** it's just somethin' about that Hollywood curse They just thirsty [Hook: Anderson .Paak] Hard times I'm on my grind, f** the part-time Stay ready for war, I'm on the front line I'm gettin' the feelin' like it's all mine It's becoming the only feeling I know (Only type of livin' I) Only type of livin' I know (Only type of livin' I) Only type of livin' I know (Only type of livin' I) Only type of livin' I know (Only type of livin' I know) [Interlude] Gonna go to work We gotta work We gotta work Let's get back to work On the grind, back to work [Outro: Dr. Dre] Let's work Rich as f**, but, guess what, I'm back to work Overseas, back home, no time to sleep, I'm back to work So many people that I love, they want my time but I got to work Some of my friends don't understand, sh**, I got to work Always talkin' 'bout bustin' the club but I'm like, "f** that I gotta work" If you really wanna do it like this, sh** you better get back to work Back to work Right back to work Gotta get back to work sh**, right back to work
