Wörk
Birdman (ft. Lil Wayne) Lyrics

Let it all work out, let it all work out
Just let everything that's happening, unfold on its own, don't force it

Work out, yeah
Things will turn out okay in the end, just let it work itself out

I'm in this bitch
I'm here, present and active

Yeah, was on the outside, looking in this bitch
I used to be an outsider, looking in from the periphery of a group

But now I'm in this bitch, yeah, I'm in this bitch
But now I'm a part of the group, included and active

Tunechi, you a genius
Someone recognizes and acknowledges that Tunechi is a genius

Looked in the mirror, said 'Don't let the money come between us'
I reflected on my values and reminded myself not to let money affect my relationships

I'm loaded, loaded at my earliest convenience
I'm wealthy and have access to money when I need it

But fuck 'em, I feel like I got ten middle fingers
I don't care what anyone else thinks of me, I have a rebellious attitude

I'm sippin', sippin' in this bitch and poppin' uppers
I'm drinking and taking stimulants (uppers) at this party

Girl, take this, this that shit that give a flower color
Take this drug, it's like adding color to a flower, it enhances the experience

And some bitch named Wonder Woman told me not to wonder
Someone who identifies as Wonder Woman advised me not to wonder about something

The crumbs, you only see 'em when the cookie crumble
You only see the negative aspects of a situation when everything falls apart

Real shit, look at my candle, still lit
Despite facing difficulties, I'm still strong and persevering

Had to swallow my pride, though, swear it tastes like spearmint
I had to humble myself, and it was refreshing

Big up to my nigga with the strap on 'em
I acknowledge and respect my friend who carries a gun

I never turn my back on 'em
I am loyal to my friend and would never betray them

Cold nigga act like they cool with ya
People can pretend to be cool with you but actually be cold-hearted

But a lot of these niggas be transformers
Many people are not who they claim to be, they transform into someone else

A lot of these players be bench-warmers
Many people are not active participants, they are just waiting on the sidelines

The game ain't easy, but it's fair, nigga
Life can be challenging, but everyone has an equal chance to succeed

I'ma sit in this throne so long, 'til it's a fuckin' rockin' chair, nigga
I will stay in this position of power for a very long time

Bad bitch playin' with my hair, nigga
A beautiful woman is playing with my hair

Said, 'Relax, Tune, baby don't stress out'
She told me to relax and not worry

But I got a lot of shit on my mind, though
I have a lot of things bothering me

She said, 'Let that shit work itself out'
She advised me to not force a solution, but rather let things work out on their own

'C5
Referring to Lil Wayne's upcoming album, Tha Carter V

Tune, you left this bitch, like you knew this bitch was gon' let your ass back in this bitch
You left, but returned knowing you would be welcomed back

But ain't nobody else like you in this bitch
No one else is quite like you, unique and irreplaceable

Cita, you a psychic, 'cause you said there be days like this
Cita is psychic because she predicted that there would be days like this

They want a piece of me, I ain't the one that's serving slices
People want something from me, but I'm not giving it away easily

Please swallow, I had my share of dirty diapers
Please forgive me, I have had my own problems and mistakes in the past

Real shit, pussy niggas on that guilt trip
People are trying to make me feel guilty for something they did

It'll be on in a heartbeat, you can't hear no pussy nigga's shit skip
They will try to talk their way out of it, but I won't let them

I fear God, never fear men
I am afraid of God, but not of other humans

Give back, never give in
I will always give back, I won't give in to selfish desires

Beat odds, never beat women
I will always overcome obstacles, but I will never physically hurt a woman

Keep an open mind, let 'em peek in it
I am willing to listen to other people's perspectives and ideas

Reach highs, never reach limits
I will always strive for higher goals, I won't settle for mediocrity

Need minds, I don't need plenty
I don't need a lot of people, I just need the right ones

This C5, this for BI and Left Eye, and T-Boz
This album is dedicated to the members of the group TLC

When I seen Chilli at a Floyd fight, I almost asked her to creep with me
When I saw Chilli at a Floyd Mayweather fight, I almost asked her to have a secret relationship with me

But I was young, and I held my tongue
I was young and didn't act on my impulses

But with that tongue, I just keep spitting
I use my words to express myself in music

So it all worked out, and now I'm in this bitch
Everything worked out and now I'm back where I belong

And life said, 'Tune, you knew me for way too long'
Life is reminding me that I have been through tough times before and can handle what comes my way

I never change, you know I been this bitch
I am still the same person, I haven't changed

And then she said, 'Let it all work out'
Life is telling me to let everything work itself out and not to stress over it

Tunechi you a monster
Someone is telling me that I am incredibly skilled and talented

Looked in the mirror, but you wasn't there, I couldn't find ya
I looked in the mirror, but couldn't recognize myself

I'm lookin' for that big old smile, full of diamonds
I'm looking for my former self, who was confident and successful

Instead, I found this letter you ain't finished writin'
Instead, I found a letter I wrote to myself, but never finished

It read, 'I'm sorry for even apologizing'
The letter started with an apology, which I now regret

I tried, compromising and went kamikaze
I tried to make peace, but ended up self-destructing

I found my momma's pistol where she always hide it
I found my mom's gun, which she's always kept hidden

I cry, put it to my head, then thought about it
I cried, then put the gun to my head and considered suicide

Nobody was home to stop me, so I called my auntie
I had no one to stop me, so I called my aunt

Hung up, then put the gun up to my heart and pondered
I hung up the phone and then put the gun to my heart while I thought about what to do

Too much was on my conscious to be smart about it
I was too overwhelmed to think clearly

Too torn apart about it, I aim where my heart was pounding
I was distraught and shot where I felt pain in my heart

I shot it, and I woke up with blood all around me
I shot myself, and woke up bleeding heavily

It's mine, I didn't die, but as I was dying
I survived, but was still close to death

God came to my side and we talked about it
I had a spiritual experience where God comforted me

He sold me another life and he made a prophet
God gave me a second chance at life and gave me meaning

Love you, Dwayne
Lil Wayne ends his song by expressing admiration and love for someone named Dwayne (possibly referring to himself by his real name)
