Workin' Man's Blues
Aceyalone

feat. Cee Lo Green




(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
