Work Hard Play Hard

My praying Momma proud of her lil' black boys
We headlining, club owners sneak us in back doors
Walk through the kitchen, got plenty ink on our passports
And not to mention our queens ain't pushing no RAV4's
What you think I rap for?
I'm building my legacy
Text from my heroes, "Hey Ledisi"
Chased bread, my pockets got lettuce-y
Foreign land with my brother, that's pedigree 'cause we

Work hard, play hard
We work, work, work for the days off
Make time to take off
Circle right back for the payoff, oh
Work hard, play hard
We work, work, work now we paid up
Make time to lay up
Ain't worried 'bout what anybody say
It's okay
It's okay, let's go play
It's okay
It's okay, let's go play

My big sis just finished escrow
Let's go, let's go
Baby Mama got a new job
The homie Dino moved his people out of Du Rock
And me and Smokey been banging out your boom box
Stay close, take notes we in the zone
nigga, two words, "Hard work", what we been on
And ain't no denying, it's divine timing
Been applying pressure, now we buying diamonds

Second home, Hawaiian islands, ain't no pantomiming
We leave in December, go where sun is shining
Can't go through the motions
Feel like the guardians of the Pacific Ocean
I'm mixing potions
Que son setecientos por ciento con gas
Tequila sin mentiras, filas de cash
Mira, estamos en otra liga de paz
Estamos enfrente, empezamos detrás, 'cause we

Work hard, play hard
We work, work, work for the days off
Make time to take off
Circle right back for the payoff, oh
Work hard, play hard
We work, work, work now we paid up
Make time to lay up
Ain't worried 'bout what anybody say
It's okay
It's okay, let's go play
It's okay
It's okay, let's go play

Listen, uh
I heard a voice that told me, "Get rid of your inhibitions"
At least just momentarily it's hard to do charity without letting go
And your soul gets to feeling fictitious
I need to cleanse my palate
Break a rule and get balance
Aches and pains until she get naked, and woo me in palace

Do something new, open the curtains, the view from the terrace
Looking like magic, hope a spectator catch it and stare in
Look in her eyes, nothing to hide, Eve ain't embarrassed
Uh, no windows in the garden
And if you see that snake, you bet not disregard him
You wearing so little clothing for it to be autumn
Lil' Mama, bring me your summer, I'll kiss on your blossom, we be working hard

Work hard, play hard
We work, work, work for the days off
Make time to take off
Circle right back for the payoff, oh
Work hard, play hard
We work, work, work now we paid up
Make time to lay up
Ain't worried 'bout what anybody say

It's okay
It's okay, let's go play
It's okay
It's okay, let's go play
It's okay
It's okay, let's go play
It's okay
It's okay, let's go play
