[Intro: Jimmy Iovine]
~#**************#~
Fear… Fears a powerful thing, I mean, its 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, thats 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, uh, you know, to a certain extent, thats still with me in how I work
~#**************#~
You know, I just go in
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Anderson .Paak]
~#**************#~
Uh, sittin bout a hundred stories up, like what the fuck?
~#**************#~
And Im just lookin at it all (I want it all!)
~#**************#~
Ill be right here in Los Angeles
~#**************#~
Lookin like a villain layin low
~#**************#~
Nothin I can do but pack it all up
~#**************#~
Goin up but shit, I feel the love
~#**************#~
Spotlight on me and Im feelin so rare tonight, huh
~#**************#~
Actin a fool and feelin alive
~#**************#~
Im fuckin flawless like I live in a vault
~#**************#~
Only type of livin I know
~#**************#~
[Chorus 1: Anderson .Paak]
~#**************#~
(Only type of living I, only type of living I)
~#**************#~
Yeah, see, if it was you you wouldve killed yourself by now
~#**************#~
(Only type of living I, only type of living I know)
~#**************#~
Yeah, it takes a special kind of motherfucker to live like this
~#**************#~
(Only type of living I, only type of living I know)
~#**************#~
And they ask me how I do it, motherfucker, just take a look around
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre & Anderson .Paak]
~#**************#~
Best believe Im in the buildin, ha
~#**************#~
I hear you motherfuckers talkin and all that but, uh, no, no, dont mention me at all
~#**************#~
Yeah! Comin live and direct! (Uh)
~#**************#~
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 (Hey!)
~#**************#~
But now you motherfuckers crossed the line and 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 fuck do yall expect me to do? Theres just so much fuckin pressure!
~#**************#~
Theres so much pressure and its all in a days work
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Marsha Ambrosius]
~#**************#~
Aaaaaah, work
~#**************#~
Work, workin so hard, hard, yeeeeah
~#**************#~
24/7, 3-6-5, 365, hard work
~#**************#~
Its all in a days work, hard, aaah, yeeeeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: 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 motherfuckin riders
~#**************#~
Or even back in the day when I was a fuckin youngster, man
~#**************#~
Shit, I was still sayin, “Fuck the police” (Man, fuck the police)
~#**************#~
Born and raised in the belly of the beast (Motherfuckin Hub City)
~#**************#~
I had a dream that we was at peace but I was so wrong, so wrong
~#**************#~
Yall too wrapped up in the bullshit and bias
~#**************#~
Now reality TV is talking bout pulpits and choirs
~#**************#~
Some of these hoes give less than a fuck when they runnin their life story by us
~#**************#~
Its the worst when Im in a hotel, like a Hilton, sick and tired
~#**************#~
And some of these housewives way too fuckin desperate, these bitches thinkin fame first
~#**************#~
I cant knock the hustle, shit, its all in a days work!
~#**************#~
But thats that shit with potential to make the game worse
~#**************#~
Shit, its just somethin about that Hollywood curse, they just thirsty
~#**************#~
[Chorus 2: Anderson .Paak]
~#**************#~
Hard times, I double my grind
~#**************#~
Fuck the part-time, huh, stay ready for war
~#**************#~
Im on the front line, Im gettin the feelin like its all mine
~#**************#~
Its 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: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Gonna go to work
~#**************#~
We gotta work
~#**************#~
We gotta work
~#**************#~
Lets get back to work
~#**************#~
On the grind, back to work
~#**************#~
Lets work
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Dr. Dre & Anderson .Paak]
~#**************#~
Rich as fuck, but guess what? Im back to work
~#**************#~
(Yeah, Im back to work)
~#**************#~
Overseas, back home, no time to sleep, Im back to work
~#**************#~
(Huh, Im back to work)
~#**************#~
So many people that I love, they want my time but I got to work
~#**************#~
(Im sorry, Im back to work)
~#**************#~
Some of my friends dont understand, shit, I got to work
~#**************#~
(Huh, Im back to work!)
~#**************#~
Always talkin bout bustin the club but Im like, “Fuck that, I gotta work”
~#**************#~
(Fuck that, Im workin)
~#**************#~
If you really wanna do it like this, shit, you better get back to work
~#**************#~
(Im workin!)
~#**************#~
Back to work, right back to work
~#**************#~
(Huh, right back to work)
~#**************#~
Gotta get back to work, shit, right back to work
~#**************#~
(Right back to work, right back to work, huh)
