All In A Day's Work

(album: Compton - 2015)

[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 kill. And you know, to a certain extent, that's still with me in how I work, you know, I just... go in

[Anderson .Paak:]
Sitting 'bout a hundred stories up, like what the fuck?
And I'm just looking at it all
I'll be right here in Los Angeles
Looking like a villain laying low
Nothing I can do but pack it all up
Going up, but shit, I feel the love
Spotlight on me and I'm feeling so rare tonight
Acting a fool and feeling alive
I'm fucking flawless like I live in a vault
Only type of living I know

[Anderson .Paak & Dr. Dre:]
See if it was you you would've killed yourself by now
It takes a special kind of mothafucka to live like this
And they ask me how I do it
Mothafucka just take a look around
Best believe I'm in the building I hear you mothafuckas talking and all that but uh
No, no don't mention me at all
Yeah coming live and direct
And I know you feeling some type of way about it, but uh
Watch your mouth, I dare your ass to say something
I thought it was all good
But now you mothafuckas crossed the line
Kinda pissing me off
All the fans and all the fame, and though I gave everything to this game
They still complain
Now what the fuck do y'all expect me to do?
There's so much fucking pressure
There's all this pressure
And it's all in a day's work

[Marsha Ambrosius:]
Work, hard
Working so hard
24/7, 3-6-5
365, hard work
It's all in a day's work

[Dr. Dre & Anderson .Paak:]
My whole life all I ever thought about was grinding
Even though my surroundings only showed me crime and violence
That was back when a rapper needed guns way more than a stylus
And that was back when I felt like rappers was true mothafucking riders
Or even back in the day when I was a fucking youngster
Shit I was still saying, "Fuck 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 bullshit and bias
Now reality TV talks about pulpits and choirs
Some of these hoes give less than a fuck when they running 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 fucking desperate
These bitches thinking fame first
I can't knock the hustle, it's all in a day's work
But that's that shit with potential to make the game worse
Shit it's just something about that Hollywood curse
They just thirst

[Anderson .Paak:]
Hard times
I'm on my grind, fuck the part-time
Stay ready for war, I'm on the front line
I'm getting the feeling like it's all mine
It's becoming the only feeling I know
Only type of living I know
Only type of living I know
Only type of living I know
Only type of living I know

Gonna go to work
We gotta work
We gotta work
Let's get back to work
On the grind, back to work

[Dr. Dre:]
Let's work
Rich as fuck, 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 I got to work
Always talking 'bout busting the club but I'm like, "Fuck that I gotta work"
If you really wanna do it like this, shit you better get back to work
Back to work
Right back to work
Gotta get back to work
Shit, right back to work
