big daddy kane - a job ain't nuthin' but work lyrics

when you work, sometimes you sweat
and when you sweat you’re gonna get wet
you’re gonna get wet (ow!)

[verse 1]
i was the one to say i get the job done
i did it and got with it, i must admit it was well fitted
a piece of the pie would be fly
instead of a crumb for a bum, uh, i gotta get some
but i don’t wanna be a secondhand, middle man
i wanna take a grandstand and
makin’ the cash flow grow
pullin’ myself outta the dirt
and a job ain’t nothin’ but work

[hook 1 with various ad-libs]
work!
a job ain’t nuthin’ but work
work! work!
a job ain’t nuthin’ but work
work! work!

[verse 2]
mo’ money, mo’ money, mo’ money
gotta get made to get paid in this trade
and i believe that i can achieve
to make ends meet like a hair weave
survivin’ in this economy, people in the world they gotta be
stayin’ in the upper cl-ss, so you’re the path
the rich gets the most and the poor gets a little
and only monie love can make it in the middle
i can’t let life get the best of me
i gotta take, take control of my own destiny
control what i hold and of course be the boss of myself
no one else will bring me wealth
i gotta hit them streets to make ends meet
so just bust the style of a hustler
run a scam, ’cause d-mn, many people pockets get hurt
and a job ain’t nuthin’ but work

[hook 2 with various ad-libs]
workin’ everyday
all the d-mn week
a job ain’t nuthin’ but work
workin’ everyday
on the subway
a job ain’t nothin’ but work
a job ain’t nothin’ but work

[bridge]
no more workin’ overtime
you get yours and i’ll get mine
i won’t stop at any cost
i won’t stop ’til i’m the boss

[hook 2 with various ad-libs]
workin’ everyday
all the d-mn week
a job ain’t nuthin’ but work
workin’ everyday
on the subway
a job ain’t nothin’ but work
a job ain’t nothin’ but work

[verse 3]
straight outta the ghetto
not out of beverly hills or flushing meadows
yet through, i made it this far and had to gamble, scramble, peddle
ain’t no shame in my game and i came through like a thoroughbred
but still there’s more ahead
i’m not the greedy, i’m the needy seekin’ a financial status
that put my pockets to be the fattest
i don’t wanna be employed when times are hard
i’m so against workin’ i wouldn’t even take a bl-wj-b
i’d rather do my own thing
i gotta be the one in charge to make myself live large
a j-o-b is not for me, i don’t want no parts of it
so take this job and shove it

when you work, sometimes you sweat
and when you sweat you’re gonna get wet
