Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every Friday mornin'
Working my money 'till I get gold
'Cause I can't get enough
Working my money 'till I get gold
Every Friday mornin'
Working my money 'till I get gold
'Cause I can't get enough
Started out with nothing and I still got most of that
The world ain't give me much, I'm positive that's a fact
Everybody said be cool, you be payin' your dues
Make a long story short, I got nothin' to lose
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'
Working my money 'till I get gold
Every Friday mornin'
Working my money 'till I get gold
'Cause I can't get enough
Working my money 'till I get gold
Every Friday mornin'
Working my money 'till I get gold
'Cause I can't get enough
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'
Working my money 'till I get gold
Every Friday mornin'
Working my money 'till I get gold
'Cause I can't get enough
Working my money 'till I get gold
Every Friday mornin'
Working my money 'till I get gold
'Cause I can't get enough
Working my money 'till I get gold
Every Friday mornin'
Working my money 'till I get gold
'Cause I can't get enough

This song literally played in NFS 2015 at the garage while I was upgrading Ken Block's Hoonicorn. What an awesome memory.
RIP Ken Block and Avicii, 2 legends that died tragically, but #1 in our hearts, they are never forgotten.
