Holiday

Oh man
I can't go to work
I got 2 more sickdays
This is for my people working
Waking up at six in the morning
Try to make an honest living
Oki oki oki oki oh
Let me see your hands up high
Touch the cloud reach for the sky
Need some time peace of mind
To make money, money, make money, money, money
Chorus:
Holiday, holiday
Cause I work hard everyday, everyday
Need some time to get away, get away
So tell my boss I need a holiday, holiday
You know you want a holiday, holiday
Cause you work hard everyday, everyday
Tell your boss that you want a raise, want a raise
Let's go make money, money, make money, money, money
Moving you know we keep it moving
My people in the front
You gotta keep it moving
Keep it moving you know we keep it moving
My people in the back
We gotta keep it moving
Keep it moving you know we keep it moving
My people in the rear
You gotta keep it moving
Keep it moving you know we keep it moving
Let's go make money, money, make money, money, money
This is for my people riding
Can't make car no bills keep pyling
Wining, dining when the bill comes
Breakout here comes the sound
I'm tired of the same routine
First one, last one on the scene
A pocket little drives so I need the queen
I gotta make money, money, make money, money, money
Chorus
Now the house is on fire
And we don't need no water
As long as there's music hit it
As long as there's music
Let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Chorus
