Working Together
A-Trak Lyrics

If you don't look good
If you don't present yourself well

Then I don't look good
Then I also don't look good

Then we don't look good
Then as a team we don't look good

So let's make it work please
So let's put in effort to improve together

Straight to work please
Without any distractions let's immediately start working

Up your shirt sleaves
Roll up your sleeves and work hard

And if you're done talkin'
And when you have nothing else to say

Then I'm done talkin'
Then I will also stop talking

So we're done talkin'
Then let's stop wasting time talking

So let's connect minds
Let's form a connection intellectually

It's past your bed time
It's time for you to focus and stop goofing around

And I'm on deadline
I have very little time left to meet the deadline

Just cut the BS
Stop avoiding the issue and get straight to the point

And don't be depressed
Don't give up and let emotions weigh you down

You need to be stressed
You need to be pushed to work harder

Don't forget this
Remember this important piece of information

You're my apprentice
You're still learning and I am your mentor

You need to sweat this
You need to put in effort to accomplish this task

Just feel the tension
Just sense the pressure

Your teeth are clenching
Your body is reacting to the stress

And rev' the engine
And get ready to start working hard

Let it guide you
Allow the work to lead and influence you

And get inside you
And become part of you

And get like I do
And work with the same passion and energy as me

And if you mess you
And if you make a mistake

It's like I messed up
It reflects badly on both of us

And we both messed up
And we are both responsible for the mistake

Just don't be lazy
Don't be unmotivated and unproductive

And don't betray me
Don't fail to live up to what we agreed upon

'Cause it drives me crazy
Because it really frustrates me

And when I say "crazy"
And when I say that it's serious

You say "how crazy?"
You ask how serious it is

I say "real crazy!"
I mean it's a really big issue

And if the boss is happy
If the boss is satisfied with our work

Then she will thank me
Then I will be praised by the boss

And you will thank me
And you will also be grateful

But if the boss is cranky
But if the boss is unhappy

Then she won't thank me
Then I won't be recognized by the boss

And I won't be happy
And I will also be unhappy

I tell you frankly
I'm telling you the truth

If I get cranky
If I become upset

Then I get spankings
Then I am punished in a way by the circumstances

So no hanky-panky
So no fooling around or playing games

You cannot flank me
You cannot outsmart or deceive me

You don't outrank me
You do not have superior authority over me

And I'm so controlling
And I like to have full control

We're both controlling
We both like to have control

I control the whole thing
I am in charge of everything

Just stick with me kid
Follow my lead

You're stuck with me kid
You're on my team and we're in this together

To keep my secrets
To prevent our work and efforts from being exposed too soon

See, I'm hard to work with
I'm known to be difficult to cooperate with

But all the work is
But the result is

Hardly worthless
Hardly without value

Working together,
Collaborating together,

Feels like forever;
Feels like an eternity;

Working together...
Collaborating together...

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
