All In A Day's Work

All In A Day's Work Lyrics

[Intro: Jimmy Iovine]
Fear, fear's a powerful thing. I mean it's got a lot of firepower. If you can figure out a way to wrestle that fear to push you from behind rather than to stand in front of you, that's very powerful. I always felt that I had to work harder than the next guy, just to do as well as the next guy. And to do better than the next guy, I had to just kill. And you know, to a certain extent, that's still with me in how I work, you know, I just... go in
[Verse 1: Anderson .Paak]
Sittin' 'bout a hundred stories up, like what the f**k?
And I'm just lookin' at it all
I'll be right here in Los Angeles
Lookin' like a villain layin' low
Nothin' I can do but pack it all up
Goin' up, but sh*t, I feel the love
Spotlight on me and I'm feelin' so rare tonight
Actin' a fool and feelin' alive
I'm f**kin' flawless like I live in a vault
Only type of livin' I know
[Bridge (Over interlude)]
Only type of living I
Only type of living I
Only type of living I
Only type of living I know
Only type of living I
Only type of living I know
[Interlude: Anderson .Paak + Dr. Dre]
See if it was you you would've killed yourself by now
It takes a special kind of mothaf**ka to live like this
And they ask me how I do it
Mothaf**ka just take a look around
Best believe I'm in the buildin' I hear you mothaf**kas talkin' and all that but uh
No, no don't mention me at all
Yeah comin' live and direct
And I know you feelin' some type of way about it, but uh
Watch your mouth, I dare your ass to say somethin'
I thought it was all good
But now you mothaf**kas crossed the line
Kinda p**sin' me off
All the fans and all the fame, and though I gave everything to this game
They still complain
Now what the f**k do y'all expect me to do?
There's so much f**kin' pressure
There's so much pressure
And it's all in a day's work
[Bridge 2: Marsha Ambrosius & Anderson .Paak]
Work, hard
Workin' so hard
24/7, 3-6-5
365, hard work
It's all in a day's work
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre + Anderson .Paak]
My whole life all I ever thought about is grindin'
Even though my surroundings only showed me crime and violence
That was back when a rapper needed guns way more than a stylist
And that was back when I felt like rappers was true mothaf**kin' riders
Or even back in the day when I was a f**kin' youngster man
sh*t I was still sayin', "f**k the police"
Born and raised in the belly of the beast
I had a dream that we was at peace
But I was so wrong.. so wrong
Y'all too wrapped up in the bullsh*t and bias
Now reality TV is talking 'bout pulpits and choirs
Some of these hoes give less than a f**k when they runnin' their life story by us
It's the worst when I'm in a hotel, like a Hilton sick and tired
Some of these housewives way too f**kin' desperate
These b**ches thinkin' fame first
I can't knock the hustle, sh*t it's all in a day's work
But that's that sh*t with potential to make the game worse
sh*t it's just somethin' about that Hollywood curse
They just thirst
[Hook: Anderson .Paak]
Hard times
I'm on my grind, f**k the part-time
Stay ready for war, I'm on the front line
I'm gettin' the feelin' like it's all mine
It's becoming the only feeling I know
(Only type of livin' I)
Only type of livin' I know
(Only type of livin' I)
Only type of livin' I know
(Only type of livin' I)
Only type of livin' I know
(Only type of livin' I know)
[Interlude]
Gonna go to work
We gotta work
We gotta work
Let's get back to work
On the grind, back to work
[Outro: Dr. Dre]
Let's work
Rich as f**k, but, guess what, I'm back to work
Overseas, back home, no time to sleep, I'm back to work
So many people that I love, they want my time but I got to work
Some of my friends don't understand, sh*t, I got to work
Always talkin' 'bout bustin' the club but I'm like, "f**k that I gotta work"
If you really wanna do it like this, sh*t you better get back to work
Back to work
Right back to work
Gotta get back to work
sh*t, right back to work
