Hook: Po3
We work, and if we did the work, we need the cheque
And if we didn’t see the cheque, you bleeding next
And if you didn’t bleed, best believe we didn’t see a threat
And if we didn’t then we set, paid to be the best, work
We work, and if we did the work, we need the cheque
And if we didn’t see the cheque, you bleeding next
And if you didn’t bleed, best believe we didn’t see a threat
Just remember, this pays the rent
Verse 1: Cee
Work is what I’m puttin’ in, when I could’ve been
Posted at the crib with Netflix, and a chick and some gin
But kid, I’m finna win
And so the chillin’ postponed and pushed back until the family lappin’ ‘em
And we happily campin’ and with a view from the top of this bitch
And so prolific, they be bumpin’ our posthumous shit
And we be so fuckin’ real that the cops’ll just quit
And join the revolution, man ain’t no stoppin’ the clique
Yeah, and so it’s fuck you, pay me
TMF the only rappers that is not fugazi
I ain’t tryina drop a dollar so these fucks’ll play me
I ain’t dumb enough to think a couple bucks’ll save me
Dog, I’m broke now but the dues paid
And so I’m living booth days, blue haze and the D’Usse
We want forever so we hustle under moonlight
Respect, money and power and then it’s goodnight

Verse 2: Po3
It’s a dark world that we’re living in
But let me shed a little light for some dividends
If you can pay me for the night then I’m getting it in
But in our world if the paper is a little thin, this is the end
Back to the pen at hand
This ain’t a lecture, it’s the point of a pentagram
Root of all evil is the answer to the question fam
Empty ya pockets, yessir, that’s the lesson plan
I’m the professor, it’s economics of a lesser man, 101
You can do anything a jester can, run Joe RUN
You got a lot of ground to cover if them funds gon’ come
And I expect to see them way before the sun goes up
You can’t see me, you think I got these CD’s for free?
You think these magic carpets fly me anywhere you need me? Please g, that ain’t the way it work
And if need be, we’re over the river and through the woods to where your grandma’s sleeping

Verse 3: Del
I got schemes to snatch the whole cake
‘Coz the needs for living don’t go away
I still chill, though, frozen ice in the tray
All work and no play, the grind’ll dull the blade
I connect the parts, put designs in your fade
I got the fix just to fix it, twist the gauge
Pull strings like the marionettes walk the stage
Grease elbows, move smooth and suede
I make the thang run like Mustangs
No rush, but concentrated on the game
Aim accurate, hit points, get raised
Overcome ogres that go against the grain
Break dollars into change, create waves and ripples
Make ‘em skip to the shit that we mixed for you
It’s the principle, go get it, it won’t be sent to you
Events manipulated to do what it was meant to do
