lyrics
You say I never had a plan, so I planned to fail,
An idle mind will leave you broke or you land in jail,
My father said these are the best years of my life,
I saw him in the hospital, I guess he was right,
I wake up, keep hitting the snooze,
Dreaming of when I'll break out,
Told myself I'm gone eat better food,
And I keep ordering take out,
I wake up, fruit, bacon, and eggs,
I hit the gym, get the chest and the legs,
Yep, then I hop up in the shower,
Yeah, then I drive about an hour,
St. Louis, LA, LA to Atlanta,
Look, I'm a bring in money, baby, I'm a man up,
You had me applying when I got home from shows,
A hundred dollars ain't enough to make a toast,
Now I know,
So I put in 40 hours,
Baby, I love you,
So I'm working 40 hours for you,
I remember coming up with TAK,
All we wanted was to put our peace and love out,
Look, I remember we had to dress up to just to get a listen,
And singing happy birthday to girls when the club out,
Got a Prius just to fit in, get in,
Ain't no winter in Los Angeles baby, but my Los Angeles lady, drove me Los Angeles crazy,
Word, word, word, I gotta handle it, 80,
80 degrees in January, you should sample it, yeah,
That's why I stayed at the beach, I couldn't handle it baby,
St. Louis, LA, LA to Atlanta,
Went back to engineering, they can keep the Grammys,
And that was goal number one,
Yeah, least I know I had some fun,
I had an indie label, no stars for you,
Ran out of money quick, no cars for you,
I guess a dream can be a money pit,
Woke up, caught a plane, now I money get,
And life ain't all about the cash but the cash keep the food coming fast in her mouth 'til she passing out,
And I'm a daddy now, so I'm working 40 Hours,
Baby Bella's here,
She ain't never working 40 Hours for nobody.
