Chorus:
 Em
Working my money ‘til I get gold
Monday-Friday mornin'
Working my money ‘til I get gold
Cause I can't get enough
Working my money ‘til I get gold
Monday-Friday mornin'
Working my money ‘til I get gold
Cause I can't get enough

  Em
Started out with nothing and
         D            C
I still got most of that
     Em
The world ain't give me much,
         D            C
I'm positive that's a fact
      Em                          D           C
Everybody said be cool, you'd be payin' your dues
        Em
Make a long story short,
I got nothin' to lose

       Am
When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
       Bm
When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
     C                      D
One hundred percent, yeah, pure grindin'
       Am
When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
       Bm
When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
     C                      D
One hundred percent, yeah, pure grindin', oh yeah

Chorus

Try to make a dollar out of 15 cents
But I ain't understand how the money was spent
My mama told me, "Boy you ain't got no sense
If we put it all together can we pay this rent?"
I've been some places
Places I never should've been
I caught some changes
Changes that made me who I am

When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
100 percent, yeah, pure grindin'
When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
When I get it, I ain't ever goin' back again
100 percent, yeah, pure grindin'

Chorus

Working my money ‘til I get gold
Monday-Friday mornin'
Working my money ‘til I get gold
Cause I can't get enough
