Lyrics

Hours

[Hook]

I got a car, and a new job

And new walk and all, carry me on

I got a dog, and a new broad

And a new song and all, carry me on

I got a car, and a new job

And new walk and all, carry me on

I got a dog, and a new broad

And a new song and all, carry me on

I got a car, and a new job

And new walk and all, carry me on

I got a dog, and a new broad

And a new song and all, carry me on

[Post-Hook]

Carry me on, carry me on

Carry me on and on, carry me on

Carry me on, carry me on

Carry me on and on, carry me on

[Verse 1]

Yeah, to the working class around the world

Gentlemen, women, boys and girls

We all know it all gets hard

Can't make it though without no job

White collars, blue collars

Black scholars, under counters

Under paid, minimum wage

Office spaces, top dollars

Construction hat, suit and ties

Political, environmental

They all ask me what I do for a living

(Ay, let me do it, let me, let me borrow that)

[Bridge]

I work for my light bill, I work for my gas bill

I work for my wide spell, I work for my ass still

I work, these rap skills, I work for these blunts wraps

I work for my lunch and my naps and my love back

I work for my light bill, I work for, hot spell

(Say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree)

I work for my gas bill, I work for my ass still

(If it wasn't here, run and tell me, "Where would we be?")

I work, these rap skills, I work for these blunts wraps

(I say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree)

I work for my lunch and my naps and my love back

(If it wasn't here, run and tell me, "Where would we be?")

They say, "I work", they say, "I work"

They say, "I work", they say, "Hours"

They say, "I work", they say, "I work"

They say, "I work, hours

I work, I work, I work, hours

Hours, hours, hours, hours, hours"

[Hook]

I got a car, and a new job

And new walk and all, carry me on

I got a dog, and a new broad

And a new song and all, carry me on

[Verse 2]

That nigga Blu 'bout his business, and positioned with soldiers

Couldn't see eye to eye, if we was shoulder to shoulder

Cause from the bottom, I got 'em up at the top looking out

Nigga, London to the Dam and I'm straight off the block

Like a running back, get it man, I play with the boss

I could run it back, simple through the play book, Moss

Tell the rest of 'em kill it, I'd rather relive it over

That nigga Blu 'bout his business, he 'bout to get him a Rover

And I told ya (I work, I work, I work, hours)

[Hook]

I got a car, and a new job

And a new walk and uh, carry me on

I got a dog, and a new broad

And a new song and uh, carry me on

I got a car, and a new job

And a new walk and uh, carry me on

[Outro]

I need you to say something for me

Say what? What am I supposed to say?

Say, "Niggas is out here"

Niggas is out here, no, I'm not doing that

Alright, say, "Niggas is wack"

No, you say it

Um, say

That doesn't even fit the song

What is the song about?

I'm still tryna figure it out after fifteen times
