Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man said, "Clock in early"
Lady said, "I been there"
He said, "You keep on talking"
She said, "You don't never care"
Sand on the floor by the doorway
Lunchbox bent, paint-stained sleeve
Two broke backs, one small room
Both of 'em fighting to breathe
He count hours like coins in a jar
She count scars in her hands
"Hard work don't mean loud mouth"
"Hard work don't mean plans"
He step close, she step back
Both too proud to fold
Same sweat on different sides
Same fire, same cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it with your chest now
If you really want respect
Put your pride on the table
Tell me what you expect
No more funny business
No more passing blame
If the day gon' break us
We gon' say our name
[Chorus]
Hard work, hard work
Show me, show me, prove it
Hard work, hard work
Don't just talk it, move it
Hard work, hard work
We all bleed for the bill
Hard work, hard work
Pay the rent, pay the spill
(Work it) hard work, hard work
(Work it) show me, prove it
(Work it) hard work, hard work
Don't just talk it, move it
[Verse 2]
She said, "My mama raised me
On a mop and a prayer"
He said, "My pops broke concrete
Till his knuckles went bare"
Now he got a clean shirt on
Now she got grease on her jeans
Both came up from nothing
Both know what hungry means
But he want credit for lifting
She want credit for staying
He want praise for the overtime
She want somebody paying
She point at the sink, at the bills, at the stove
He point at the roof and the leak
Both got a list in their mouth and a wall
And neither one ready to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
Say it with your chest now
If you really want respect
Put your pride on the table
Tell me what you expect
No more funny business
No more passing blame
If the day gon' break us
We gon' say our name
[Chorus]
Hard work, hard work
Show me, show me, prove it
Hard work, hard work
Don't just talk it, move it
Hard work, hard work
We all bleed for the bill
Hard work, hard work
Pay the rent, pay the spill
(Work it) hard work, hard work
(Work it) show me, prove it
(Work it) hard work, hard work
Don't just talk it, move it
[Bridge]
Then the room got quiet
Just the fan and the sink
He looked at her hands
She looked at his blink
He said, "I see you"
She said, "I see you too"
Two tired people arguing
'Bout what tired people do
[Final Chorus]
Hard work, hard work
Show me, show me, prove it
Hard work, hard work
Don't just talk it, move it
Hard work, hard work
We all bleed for the bill
Hard work, hard work
Pay the rent, pay the spill
(Work it) hard work, hard work
(Work it) show me, prove it
(Work it) hard work, hard work
Don't just talk it, move it

Hard rap with island-tinged bounce and a mid-tempo hype groove, heavy bass pulse and clipped percussion; verse rides sparse drums and sharp one-liners, pre-chorus tightens with handclaps and rising chants, chorus hits with gang shouts and a chopped response hook. Vocal is male-female back-and-forth, close-mic in verses, doubled and taunting on the hook, with delay throws on key punch words. Short drum fills, steel-pan glints, and reverse swells turn the corners; mix is bright, punchy, and low-end heavy., bounce, rap
