Lance Alexander - A Job Ain't Nuthin' But Work lyrics

When you work, sometimes you sweat And when you sweat you're gonna get wet You're gonna get wet (OW!) [Verse 1] I was the one to say I get the job done I did it and got with it, I must admit it was well fitted A piece of the pie would be fly Instead of a crumb for a bum, uh, I gotta get some But I don't wanna be a secondhand, middle man I wanna take a grandstand and Makin' the cash flow grow Pullin' myself outta the dirt And a job ain't nothin' but work [Hook 1 with various ad-libs] WORK! A job ain't nuthin' but work WORK! WORK! A job ain't nuthin' but work WORK! WORK! [Verse 2] Mo' money, mo' money, mo' money Gotta get made to get paid in this trade And I believe that I can achieve To make ends meet like a hair weave Survivin' in this economy, people in the world they gotta be Stayin' in the upper cla**, so you're the path The rich gets the most and the poor gets a little And only Monie Love can make it in the middle I can't let life get the best of me I gotta take, take control of my own destiny Control what I hold and of course be the boss of myself No one else will bring me wealth I gotta hit them streets to make ends meet So just bust the style of a hustler Run a scam, 'cause damn, many people pockets get hurt And a job ain't nuthin' but work [Hook 2 with various ad-libs] Workin' everyday All the damn week A job ain't nuthin' but work Workin' everyday On the subway A job ain't nothin' but work A job ain't nothin' but work [Bridge] No more workin' overtime You get yours and I'll get mine I won't stop at any cost I won't stop 'til I'm the boss [Hook 2 with various ad-libs] Workin' everyday All the damn week A job ain't nuthin' but work Workin' everyday On the subway A job ain't nothin' but work A job ain't nothin' but work [Verse 3] Straight outta the ghetto Not out of Beverly Hills or Flushing Meadows Yet through, I made it this far and had to gamble, scramble, peddle Ain't no shame in my game and I came through like a thoroughbred But still there's more ahead I'm not the greedy, I'm the needy seekin' a financial status That put my pockets to be the fattest I don't wanna be employed when times are hard I'm so against workin' I wouldn't even take a bl**job I'd rather do my own thing I gotta be the one in charge to make myself live large A J-O-B is not for me, I don't want no parts of it So take this job and shove it When you work, sometimes you sweat And when you sweat you're gonna get wet
