[Intro Aloe Blacc] The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure dont stay Trying to cope, boy I hope and I pray Show me the way [Chorus Aloe Blacc] The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure dont stay Trying to cope, boy, I hope and I pray Somebody show me the way [Verse 1 Evidence] I say hello to my people, hello to the day I watch the world on wheels, hit the yellow and gray The ones dont work are the ones dont eat And once again, from the city where that sun dont sleep Its time to get live because the terms is breached Ride the wave like the world is a beach, learn more I teach I was raised by N.W.A and stayed CA All day, same story, different brief case Im nonchalant to others peddling weight I got a purpose to serving up and settle my state Been through it, all of it great Put the ruler to the movement, all of it straight Big fish? Even calling them bait One love, one dish, see em all on my plate Ill take the lady on a vacay, she call it a date Now she calling in sick, now she calling in late [Chorus Aloe Blacc] The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure dont stay Trying to cope, boy, I hope and I pray Somebody show me the way, somebody show me the way Ive been through some pitfalls that knocked me down Made it through close calls and lost some ground Its a hell of a price I pay Somebody show me the way, somebody show me the way [Verse 2 Rakaa Iriscience] The moon tagged the sun in, love to be alive Feet hit the ground running, butterflies in my stomach Like Im anxious trying to get it, trying to learn a lot from it On a planet in regression, in a loft at the summit Air is much clearer, catch me on the high road Some fight to live, others settle for survival Its your world, you can write the line you live your life on Its heavy but youre strong, just hold on until that light dawns Its started now, pardon me were partying Escalating, redefining the state of the art again Celebrated, elevators open up to secret floors Different rules and secret laws, from the roof youll see the stars Only fear boredom in a world of raw materials Excited by potential, inspired by adventure Calculated circles, the circumference and the radius The only cats that float without a float through the parade is us [Chorus Aloe Blacc] The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure dont stay Trying to cope, boy, I hope and I pray Somebody show me the way Somebody show me the way, somebody show me the way Ive been through some pitfalls that knocked me down Made it through close calls and lost some ground Its a hell of a price I pay Somebody show me the way, somebody show me the way [Verse 3] [Evidence] Its routine, by the beach I rise First up, I hit the weed then I bleach my eyes Then its to the drum machine to speak my mind Tracks like fitted hats, pick a beat my size [Rakaa Iriscience] Energizing, on the darkest streets I shine Saw the light up on the mountain, to the peak I climbed Breathtaking new perspectives on the life I grind First tear of joy fell, looking like Im crying For a just a moment [Evidence] The feeling of being content Not needing a dollar or a cent Smile for my mama cause she proud The studio, my headphones loud [Rakaa Iriscience] Bridge builders will connect these crowds Dedicated on my honor you can check these vows Thats purpose, power to make the powerful nervous Hard work aint easy but easy usually aint worth it They say [Chorus Aloe Blacc] The harder the work well the longer the day Easy may come but it sure dont stay Trying to cope, boy, I hope and I pray Somebody show me the way, somebody show me the way Ive been through some pitfalls that knocked me down Made it through close calls and lost some ground Its a hell of a price I pay Somebody show me the way, somebody show me the way
