Dsus2 Am C G
[Chorus]
Am F
We all live for the weekend
C G
Just tryna get by
Dsus2 Am C G
But losing track of time
Am F
And we never need a reason
C G
To leave it all behind
Dsus2 Am C G
There's only one thing on my mind
[Verse 1]
(G) Am F
Man, you know I tried my luck at a few day jobs
C G
And every single one I had I used to hate on
Dsus2 Am
I swear to God, I'd wake up every morning with a fake cough
C G
Hoping maybe I could get the day off
Am F
I knew the safe option was to stay on
C G
Still I couldn't help but muck around till I got laid off
Dsus2 C
Rapping all day long tryna make songs
C G
Thinking to myself 'I hope this hard work pays off'
Am F
So I told my friends "I'm an emcee"
C G
And they were like "PEZ, you're a deadbeat" (yeah)
Dsus2 Am
How're you gonna make the ends meet
C G
Rent's steep, you won't even make it to the next week
Am F
And it seemed like
C G
There was a pretty good chance they would be right
Dsus2 Am
But I just kept holding onto my dream like "Nah
C G
I'm gonna get there in the end, but in the meantime"
NOTE: Follow the patent both in verses & choruses.

C G

Dsus2 Am C G
But losing track of time
Am F
And we never need a reason
C G
To leave it all behind
Dsus2 Am C G
There's only one thing on my mind
[Verse 2]
(G) Am F
Before rap I was different in a way
C G
Tryna make a living as a chippy in the game
Dsus2 Am
My boss figured out a minimum to pay
C G
He was giving me a wage, I was literally a slave
Am F
When's this motherfucka giving me a raise?
C G
I can barely afford to put some dinner on my plate
Dsus2 Am
Spent every day wishing it'd rain
C G
'Cause every time it rains you'd be finished for the day
Am F
PEZ told me to give the shit away
C G
"Fuck work, there's something bigger we can chase"
Dsus2 Am
Taught about belief and the difference it'd make
C G
Little did he know I would quit within a day
Am F
And while at work I was dreaming (dreaming)
C G
Always thinking 'bout the weekend (weekend)
Dsus2 Am
I couldn't wait till the week ends
C G
And it will end, but until then
[Chorus]
Am F
We all live for the weekend
C G
Just tryna get by
Dsus2 Am C G
But losing track of time
Am F
And we never need a reason
C G
To leave it all behind
Dsus2 Am C G
There's only one thing on my mind
[Bridge]
Dsus2
In the deep end
G
On the grind
Am
'Nother weekend
G G Dsus2
Is on my mind
Dsus2
In the deep end
G
On the grind
Am
'Nother weekend
G G Dsus2
Is on my mind
[Chorus]
Am F
We all live for the weekend
