[Chorus: The Pharcyde]

Hard days, long nights

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

You work those hard days, long nights

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

[Verse 1: Bootie Brown]

Ayy, ayy, ayy

I try to warn the crew, motherfucker, stop playing

Won't get the fight if you can't make the weigh in

No more excuses said the man in the mirror

And I see more gray skies than those that are clearer

And I'm tryna catch this slice before this shit gets cold

Poker face was read and now you must fold

Like sheets and blankets fresh out the Whirlpool

And it drop below freezing in a world so cool

Niggas yell "no snitchin'" but be pigeons on the stool

Open letter to yourself, definition of a fool

Repetition is a tool just like a screwdriver

Stripped off threading, now you gotta play MacGyver

On a court like Tiger tryna fill those holes

Focus straight, gotta pay those tolls

Fees, gratuities, and don't forget the taxes

Make your head spin like the world on its axis

[Chorus: The Pharcyde]

You work those hard days, long nights

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

You work those hard days, long nights

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

[Verse 2: Imani]

You gotta keep the income coming in

We not functioning full power

Still in the towers in the afterhours

They hatin', sour, 'cause they after ours

We bloom and flower, watch

Picture me rollin', holdin' simoleons big as Samoans

I told my friend indeed I need some more ends

Bumpin' the low end 'til the very end

Headin' out the red, gettin' in the black

No sleep 'til now, how you feel

We up early, up late on the fire escape

No sleep if you get any sleep

What you think all the coffee's for?

And all them blunts and the herb by the door

Niggas passed out everywhere on the floor

They couldn't take it anymore, they fake it galore

But we'll be here until four in the morning

In the morn, we got a flight to Des Moines

[Chorus: The Pharcyde]

We work those hard days, long nights

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

We work those hard days, long nights

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

[Outro: The Pharcyde]

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

You got to work it out

You got to work it out
