Lyrics

Hey, said a hustler's work is never through
We makin' it 'cause we make it move
The only thing we know how to do
Said it's the only thing we know how to do

Work hard, play hard
Work hard, play hard
We work hard, play hard
Keep partyin' like it's your job

Work hard, play hard
Work hard, play hard
We work hard, play hard
Keep partyin' like it's your job

Come on baby and drop it
Scrub that floor and just mop it
Show these gangsters how you pop lock it
Don't care what you got in your pocket
I peep the way that you rockin'
Flip that thang thang don't stop it
Wanna I just bang bang and pop it
While the club crowded just watch you (work it out)

Got a gang of cash and it's goin' all on the bar (now work it out)
And it's going fast 'cause I feel like a superstar (now work it out)
And you may not have it, I might just broke the law (now work it out)
It's your turn to grab it, now make this whole thing yours (now work it out)

Hey, said a hustler's work is never through
We makin' it 'cause we make it move
The only thing we know how to do
Said it's the only thing we know how to do

Work hard, play hard
Work hard, play hard
We work hard, play hard
Keep partyin' like it's your job

Work hard, play hard
Work hard, play hard
We work hard, play hard
Keep partyin' like it's your job

Hey, said a hustler's work is never through
We makin' it 'cause we make it move
The only thing we know how to do
Said it's the only thing we know how to do

Work hard, play hard
Work hard, play hard
We work hard, play hard
Keep partyin' like it's your job

Work hard, play hard
Work hard, play hard
We work hard, play hard
Keep partyin' like it's your job
