[Intro: Bambu - spoken]
It's time to go to work
It's time to go to work
It's time to go to work
Get up and go to work
It's time to go ta...
It's time to go to work
[Verse 1: Bambu]
It's day one
That's how long I've been about the struggle
I came out of my mama half a dollar short wearing a muzzle
And I told that doctor put your hands on me again it's trouble
I should tell I don't fuck around
I'm all about the struggle
The struggle to get up and do a job where they don't compensate you proper when you work so fucking hard
Something hard over your speakers I could hold you down correct
Nothing minimal about in for ready ready set
Time to party like the sea levels are rising by the day
Time to party like their changing our climate, man-made
It's a party we gonna finally gonna take a shot and make it count
Where we ain't got to work a double to keep payments on the house
The wealthy verse the poor it's class war
If you gonna background check me what the fuck you asking
It's the landlord verse the tenant
Grab your rifle, your machete
Let's get it homie
[Bridge: Bambu]
It's time to go to work
It's time to go to work
Oh, we gonna make that as work
Work
[Verse 2: Bambu]
Yo
It's day one
I didn't hit my mark, It's time to rally
Overalls over my kakis, the tradition of our daddy's
Call my union rep, tell em I've got issues with my boss
And if he questions me again I'm balling fists and taking off
But it's the myth I've got to deal with when that kickstarter review
A bunch of thirsty broke fucks with hands out
The IRS gonna take it's cut, that's 20 percent off top
Then the sites gonna take it's cut, that's like 30 out of the pot
And I'm cutting cheques to make that LP, shit ain't cheap
Charity and all that beneficiary shit ain't me
I'm from a street where you get beat for trying to beg
I'm trying to keep myself above the water
They keep pulling on my legs
But I get it
If I saw someone accessible as I make a fourty K advance I would be like uhhhh
Let me hold some money for my rent
Nothing minimal about it
Info ready ready set
[Bridge: Bambu]
Let's go to work
Work
We gonna make that ass work
It's time to go to work
[Outro: Bambu]
It's the first day of the work week
Get up early grab a coffee
Ready to party to make me a penny
And fill up our belly for baby and mama
We gonna work 5x
