[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 ***********?
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 ***********t, I feel the love
Spotlight on me and I'm feelin' so rare tonight
Actin' a fool and feelin' alive
I'm ***********' flawless like I live in a vault
Only type of livin' 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 *********a to live like this
And they ask me how I do it
*********a just take a look around
Best believe I'm in the buildin' I hear you *********as 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 *********as crossed the line
Kinda pissin' me off
All the fans and all the fame, and though I gave everything to this game
They still complain
Now what the *********** do y'all expect me to do?
There's so much ***********' pressure
There's all this pressure
And it's all in a day's work

[Bridge 2: Marsha Ambrosius
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 was grindin'
Even though my surroundings only showed me crime and violence
That was back when a rapper needed guns way more than a stylus
And that was back when I felt like rappers was true *********in' riders
Or even back in the day when I was a ***********' youngster
***********t I was still sayin', "*********** 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 bull***********t and bias
Now reality TV talks about pulpits and choirs
Some of these hoes give less than a *********** 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 ***********' desperate
These *********** thinkin' fame first
I can't knock the hustle, it's all in a day's work
But that's that ***********t with potential to make the game worse
***********t it's just somethin' about that Hollywood curse
They just thirst

[Hook: Anderson .Paak
Hard times
I'm on my grind, *********** 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 know
Only type of livin' I know
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 ***********, 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 I got to work
Always talkin' 'bout bustin' the club but I'm like, "*********** that I gotta work"
If you really wanna do it like this, ***********t you better get back to work
Back to work
Right back to work
Gotta get back to work
***********t, right back to work
