Hard Days

[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
