[Verse 1: Murs]
I stumbled out of bed, hungover, none sober
Like the Joes rushed my body and I was the sole Cobra
Still a soldier, grabbed a soda helped my stomach settle down
Then fell into the shower as to let the funk drown
Put Degree under my arms, turned off the alarm
You only set it to regret it
A million things to do but work is where I'm headed
The dreaded grindstone on the edge of my bed
I sit and let my mind zone on how fun last night was
Started with a light buzz that slowly progressed into a full blown fade
I was trying to get laid, but got no action
It was back to the crib for personal satisfaction
Triple X DVDs, I got a whole stack and
Was snapped out of my daydream by something that I seen
I left the tissue full of spunk on the floor by my jeans
It seems I have 15 minutes to make the 20 minute ride it takes to get to work
So I fly out the door while I'm putting on my shirt
Start the car and then I'm off to get in trouble with my boss
He runs his mouth like a bitch
Sometimes I wish he'd lay me off
So that I could lay him out
With one little punch right to his fat ass mouth
But now I'm assed out, cause these fools on the freeway
Be driving like they ain't got nowhere to go
You know those fucks in the fast lane moving hella slow
Got me yelling at my windshield, now it's like 10 'til
I want to call in, man I think it every day
But I'm not ballin', so I got to go get paid
And continue the charade of customer service
Since I don't get commission, my efforts seem worthless
"Thanks and have a nice day" is what I got to say
Even if they were rude and gave me attitude
It's a shame what I have to do to get rent and food

[Hook: Murs]
I work hard, goddamn hard
To keep this roof over my head
And pay off these credit cards
I work hard, goddamn hard
So I could pay off all my debt
And get a house with a yard
I work hard, goddamn hard
To put that gas off in the tank
And make the payments on this car
I work hard, goddamn hard
So I could wild out every weekend
And buy drinks at the bar

[Verse 2: Murs]
Try being on the road for 45 days straight
Road manager's the driver and myself plus 8
Other motherfuckers and they're idiosyncratic
'Sop brought two-systems, he's a video fanatic
Sunspot got enough weed to give me contact for the month and a half
PSC got the gas and forever blowing up the spot with his rotten ass
Of course Grouch brought a task that'll fill his time plot
Trying to hook Pro-Tools to his new laptop
Eligh's on the last cot, a hypochondriac
So with him you never know if it's a fever or an act
Scarub's usually either reading, writing, or sleeping
And Bicasso needs to use somebody's cellies on the creeping
Me I'm simply dreaming, plotting schemes to get some money
Almost forgot about Arata but you know
As we tour throughout the country everybody starts to argue over
What we watch on TV and who drank the last brew, who's been hating on who
Maybe throw a punch or two until a virus breaks out
And how healthy can you be?
When you getting little sleep and all you eat is take out
But the show must go on when you livin' dusk 'till dawn
If I don't rap every night, I might lose a fan
So even if I got the flu I got a mic in my hand
And I haven't even spoke on the one night stands
Yeah that might sound fly to the average guy
But when you got a girl at home you got to let it pass you by
So I try to play the sidelines
Watch what they pull, but on a bus full of women, hard to stay faithful
So I cheat, not because I hate my girl, because I miss her
Even though she won't believe me when I say "I only kissed her"
Been home a couple days and she still won't speak
Still, I got to hit the road again beginning of the week
[Hook]
I work hard
Goddamn hard
To keep this roof over my head
And pay off these credit cards
I work hard
Goddamn hard
So I could pay off all my debt
And get a house with a yard
I work hard
Goddamn hard
To put that gas off in the tank
And make the payments on this car
I work hard
Goddamn hard!
