Tell me why one day seems so long
When you're gone, ain't no sun
No waves in the ocean
What if I could just make you my child?
I would be so devoted
I need a promotion

Boy, when I get home, I'mma work hard
'Cause you work hard like I do
I'mma work hard when I get home
'Cause I work hard on you
When I get home, I'mma work hard
'Cause you work hard like I do
I'mma work hard when I get home
'Cause I work hard on you

And now it's just a million miles away
But now I'm right here
In your face, in your place
And there's really nothing left for me to say
I'm coming there, I need a play
Performing there, you'll be the stage
Oh, baby, you're with all my energy (all my energy, oh)
And oh, working until midnight, fall asleep

Boy, when I get home, I'mma work hard
'Cause you work hard like I do
I'mma work hard when I get home
'Cause I work hard on you
When I get home, I'mma work hard
'Cause you work hard like I do
I'mma work hard when I get home
'Cause I work hard on you

And now it's just a million miles away
But now I'm right here
In your face, fast pace
Help me out, I gotta make my quota, babe
Let me fix your shoulders, baby
And we ain't gotta go to sleep
Oh, baby, you're with all my energy (all my energy, oh)
And oh, working until midnight, fall asleep (yo)

Clocking in like bim, bim
Cutting up like trim, trim
You get yours then I'm gettin' mine
So either way, it's a win win
Scored two points for the whole team
Gonna show your man what home mean
I love what you done with the place, girl
But I'mma reposter the whole thing
My domain is real marble, not faux paint
She gon' make a nigga a sandwich
'Cause I be working hard for that whole grain
Don't you worry, 'cause all that homework and shit gon' pay off
I just get laid while they get laid off
You won't get laid off, you don't take days off
Lock the damn door, mattress floor, padded headboard
Toes on the ceiling like it was a dance floor
Underscore, leave me space for something more, come explore
If she got that Thundercat I ride it like a Cadillac like scrrrr!

Boy, when I get home, I'mma work hard
'Cause you work hard like I do
I'mma work hard when I get home
'Cause I work hard on you
When I get home, I'mma work hard
'Cause you work hard like I do
I'mma work hard when I get home
'Cause I work hard on you

And now it's just a million miles away
But now I'm right here oh
