[Verse 1: Davey]
Don't question my, love for what I do
Since my terrible two's innate, how I create from within
Comes without a doubt a penchant for penning my penny thoughts 'Til I got a better life, a bonafide profession
Been taking lessons, on my game
Up and coming, I been chasing comeuppance
No tux or cufflinks, no bluffs or hoodwinks, no buff to my ink
Don't blink I'm battle-worn
My saddle worn like the pony express
This journey arduous, recognize I'm blessed
Though I'm feelin like a ten ton truck rollin over my chest
The west taught me to persevere, in the desert severe
Sage outlines horizon lines so fast you can see the very ticking of time
That's how I know life is short for sure
So I'm doing what I love, 'til I reach God's golden shore

[Pre-Chorus]
Some men would kill for 'em
Some men wouls steal for 'em
Some men would even do a dirty rotten deal

[Chorus]
Weekends
Gave 'em up
Girlfriends
Gave 'em up
Grind until we shine, because it's for the love

[Verse 2: David Eff]
You know I stepped in the ring, cause it's worth the fight
And I could see it everytime I closed my eyes at night
So to the people that believe that my potential isn't finite
I'm gonna shine bright, still gunning for the limelight
I wanna watch it grow, mature, and take form
So I feed the seed of my dreams, and make sure
It ain't just the cream I been doin this for
Because the folks with the money get the problems more
No, I do it for the challenge and to rise above
Like a pod under pressure, coming outta the mud
And Imma stick with my decision through sweat, tears, and blood
Through the feast and the famine, the drought and the flood
So to anybody eager while I laid in wait
I appreciate the love, and the space to create
But I'm about to go big from a nascent state
So why don'tcha pass me the hammer while I claim my stake

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Paydays
Gave 'em up
Fancy things
Gave 'em up
Everyday we working cause it's for the love

[Breakdown]
I wanna shout from the rooftop of hip hop, hip hop, hip hop
I wanna dig 'til I hit bedrock, bedrock, bedrock
X2

[Verse 3: Davey]
I put the magic back, like bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
This troop gonna swoop like a coup de tat
Like mardi gras, gonna party 'til your face is raw
We might even get crazy in Utah
Say hoo-rah, say hoo-rah
Get up and get down, like a seesaw
Yea-ah, don't diss your esophagus
You better scream, jump up, and pump your fist
Now shout from the rooftop of hip hop, hip hop, hip hop
Dig, 'til we hit bedrock, bedrock, bedrock
Shout from the rooftop of hip hop, hip hop, hip hop
Dig, 'til we hit bedrock, bedrock, bedrock
I'm gonna shout from the rooftop of hip hop
Hip hop never died, and it won't stop
We survivalists, and revivalists
So we strive with this
Deep down in the jungle of the common man's struggle
Comes a voice from within, saying not to give in, just get up again
So I'll bust down the door, take over the floor
And let the world know what I'm doing it for

[Chorus]

Paydays
Gave 'em up
Fancy things
Gave 'em up
Keep on making music, cause it's for the love
