[Chorus: MAX]
I've been workin' for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
[Verse 1: MAX]
Yeah, it's 7 AM and I can't seem to keep my eyes shut
Even if I get up, even if I get beat down
[Pre-Chorus: MAX]
Will I be fine? Na-na-na-na
If I do my time? Na-na-na-na
I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead
[Chorus: MAX]
I've been workin' for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
I've been goin' off the deep end
My sanity's at stake
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
If I break my back today?
[Verse 2: bbno$ & MAX]
Baby, you know
I was broke, well, I still am
Mama said, "If you don't work, it might hit the fan," I got it
I'm on my money grind, I'm diggin' up bands
You cannot find me in the club unless I'm savin' at Sam's
'Cause I'm a work-work-work-work-workaholic
And a guap-guap-guap-guap-guapaholic (True)
They say I've got a problem, I believe in money trees
I've been workin' on the weekend to cop a spot in Belize, yeah (Oh)
[Pre-Chorus: MAX & bbno$, MAX]
Will you stick by? Na-na-na-na
While I do my time? Na-na-na-na
I guess we'll hang when I'm dead
[Chorus: MAX & bbno$]
I've been workin' for the weekend
But that weekend never came (No, it didn't)
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
I've been goin' off the deep end
But my sanity’s at stake (Uh-huh)
Will you pat my back tomorrow (Woah)
If I break my back today? (Break my back today)
If I break my back today?
[Post-Chorus: MAX & bbno$]
La-la-la-la
Na-na-na-na (La-la-la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la
Break my back today
[Pre-Chorus: MAX & bbno$, MAX]
Will you stick by? Na-na-na-na
While I do my time? Na-na-na-na
I guess we'll hang when I'm dead
[Chorus: MAX]
I've been workin' for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
I've been workin' for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today? (Break my back today)
I've been going off the deep end
But my sanity’s at stake
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today? (Break my back today)
If I break my back today? (Ooh)
[Outro: MAX]
Yeah, I gotta get the weight off
Yeah, I gotta get the weight off
Yeah, I gotta get the day off (Break my back today)
Yeah, I gotta get the weight off (Ooh, ooh)
Yeah, I gotta get the weight off (Ooh, ooh)
Yeah, I gotta get the day off (Break my back today)

I wrote this with my friends AJR. We’ve always bonded because we’ve been the underdogs for so long. We watched so many people we respected blow up very quickly, and we felt like, “What are we not doing that these people are doing that’s just working?” In retrospect, I look at our journeys now and I’...
