MAX Lyrics

"Working For The Weekend"
(feat. bbno$)

I've been working for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?

Yup, yeah it's 7 AM
And I can't seem to keep my eyes shut
Even if I get up
Even if I get beat down

Will I be fine? Na-na-na-na
If I do my time? Na-na-na-na
I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead

I've been working for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
I've been going off the deep end
And my sanity's at stake
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
If I break my back today?

You know I was broke, well, I still am
Mama said if you don't work it might hit the fan
I got it, I'm on my money guard, I'm digging up bands
You cannot find me in the club unless I'm saving at Sam's
Cause I'm a work work work work workaholic
And a guap guap guap guap guapaholic (true)
They say I've got a problem - I believe in money trees
I've been working on the weekend to cop a spot in Belize

Will you stick by? Na-na-na-na
While I do my time? Na-na-na-na
I guess we'll hang when I'm dead

I've been working for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
I've been going off the deep end
And my sanity's at stake
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
(Break my back today)
If I break my back today?

Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na (La la la la la la)
Na-na-na-na
Break my back today

Will you stick by? Na-na-na-na
While I do my time? Na-na-na-na
I guess we'll hang when I'm dead

I've been working for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?

I've been working for the weekend
But that weekend never came
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
(Break my back today)
I've been going off the deep end
And my sanity's at stake (My sanity)
Will you pat my back tomorrow
If I break my back today?
(Break my back today)
If I break my back today?

(Na-na-na-na) Yeah, I gotta get the weight off
(Na-na-na-na) Yeah, I gotta get the weight off
(Na-na-na-na) Yeah, I gotta get the day off
(Break my back today)

(Na-na-na-na) Yeah, I gotta get the weight off
(Na-na-na-na) Yeah, I gotta get the weight off
(Na-na-na-na) Yeah, I gotta get the day off
(Break my back today)

AJR produced "Working For The Weekend". MAX told about it, "I've been friends and have toured with AJR for years. We've been in the trenches together and fighting for our dreams for a long time through a ton of ups and downs. It's been amazing to root for each other and watch each other grow, including them doing a song with me on my last album called 'Home'. We wrote 'Working For The Weekend' together as an ode and love song to hard work."

Working with Bbno$ was commented on by MAX as such, "I asked my friend Bbno$, who's also a hard-core hustler, to add his story to the song and we went back and forth on his verse on a Saturday (when we were both supposed to be taking a day off) until it was perfect. The irony is beautiful. It's the late nights, the early mornings, the never being able to turn it off and constantly thinking of ways to grow when you're doing what you're the most passionate about."
