[Chorus: The Pharcyde]
Hard days, long nights
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
You work those hard days, long nights
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
[Verse 1: Bootie Brown]
Ayy, ayy, ayy
I try to warn the crew, motherfucker, stop playing
Won't get the fight if you can't make the weigh in
No more excuses said the man in the mirror
And I see more gray skies than those that are clearer
And I'm tryna catch this slice before this shit gets cold
Poker face was read and now you must fold
Like sheets and blankets fresh out the Whirlpool
And it drop below freezing in a world so cool
N***as yell "no snitchin'" but be pigeons on the stool
Open letter to yourself, definition of a fool
Repetition is a tool just like a screwdriver
Stripped off threading, now you gotta play MacGyver
On a court like Tiger tryna fill those holes
Focus straight, gotta pay those tolls
Fees, gratuities, and don't forget the taxes
Make your head spin like the world on its axis
[Chorus: The Pharcyde]
You work those hard days, long nights
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
You work those hard days, long nights
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
[Verse 2: Imani]
You gotta keep the income coming in
We not functioning full power
Still in the towers in the afterhours
They hatin', sour, 'cause they after ours
We bloom and flower, watch
Picture me rollin', holdin' simoleons big as Samoans
I told my friend indeed I need some more ends
Bumpin' the low end 'til the very end
Headin' out the red, gettin' in the black
No sleep 'til now, how you feel
We up early, up late on the fire escape
No sleep if you get any sleep
What you think all the coffee's for?
And all them blunts and the herb by the door
N***as passed out everywhere on the floor
They couldn't take it anymore, they fake it galore
But we'll be here until four in the morning
In the morn, we got a flight to Des Moines
[Chorus: The Pharcyde]
We work those hard days, long nights
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
We work those hard days, long nights
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
[Outro: The Pharcyde]
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
You got to work it out
