Lyrics

Working for the boss man
I bring home a steady pay
Not enough to make it rich
But Just enough to make my way

Waiting on a weekend
It never seems to come for me
My weekend is usually
Whatever it may be

Working for peanuts
Is all good and fine
You do what I want with yours
I do what I want with mine

But when the going gets tough
I won’t quit on me

Chorus:
Hold it down, Hold it down
Though, I’m making no money
Hold it down, Hold it down
Whether is rainy, or stormy, or sunny
Hold it down, Hold it down
Nobody wants to hear excuses from you
Hold it down, Hold it down

Hold it down, Hold it down, Hold it down


Gotta pay that rent on time
It’s adding it all up
Always on my grind
Never seems to be enough

Playin out in the street
Trying to pay for my next meal
Every man for himself
Forget how you feel

Working for peanuts
Is all good and fine
You do what I want with yours
I do what I want with mine

But when the going gets tough
I won’t quit on me

Chorus
