Citizen Shade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say I have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work!
You see me do me
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So I put in
Work, work, work, work, work, work
When you all gon'?
I no care if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
Please stop...
Now I'm trying to desert him
No time to have you lurking
Him go act like he don't like it
You know I dealt with you the nicest
Nobody touch me, you the righteous
Nobody text me in a crisis
If I get another chance to
I will never, no never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold your past against you?
I just hope that it gets to you
I hope that you see this through
I hope that you see this true
What can I say?
Please recognize I'm tryin', babe!
I have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work
You say I have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work!
You see me do me
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So I put in
Work, work, work, work, work, work
When you all gon'?
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
I no care if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
Please stop...
You need to get done, done, done, done at work, come over
We just need to slow the motion
Don't give that away to no one
Long distance, I need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
If you had a twin, I would still choose you
I don't wanna rush into it, if it's too soon
But I know you need to get done, done, done, done
If you come over
Sorry if I'm way less friendly
Everybody tryna end me, oh
No, no, no
I spilled all my emotions tonight, I'm sorry
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
How many more shots until you're rollin'?
We just need a face to face
You could pick the time and the place
You spent some time away
Work, work, work, work, work, work
You say I have to
Work, work, work, work, work, work!
You see me do me
Dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt!
So I put in
Work, work, work, work, work, work
When you all gon'? (I put in work)
Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
I no care if him
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
Please stop...
The lyrics to Citizen Shade's song 'Work' convey the message of a woman who is trying to prove her worth and hard work to her significant other. The repetition of 'work' emphasizes the importance of hard work in the singer's life. The singer is requesting her partner to acknowledge her diligence and contributions to the relationship, as she feels unappreciated. The singer expresses her frustrations by saying that her partner is hurting her, and she cannot take it anymore; she wants him to stop with the hurtful behavior.

She expresses how she feels emotionally vulnerable and, in the moment of desperation, confesses her emotions to her partner. The singer is willing to put in work to make it work with her partner and overcome any challenges that may lie ahead. The song is relatable and highlights the challenges faced by many individuals in romantic relationships who strive to balance their work-life and personal life.

Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
His actions and words are hurting me
Please stop...
I'm asking him to stop hurting me
Now I'm trying to desert him
I'm trying to distance myself from him
No time to have you lurking
I don't have time for someone who is spying on me
Him go act like he don't like it
He's pretending that he doesn't care about me
You know I dealt with you the nicest
I've always been respectful and kind to him
Nobody touch me, you the righteous
No one can replace the person who is always there for me
Nobody text me in a crisis
No one understands me the way he does
If I get another chance to
If I have the opportunity
I will never, no never neglect you
I promise I will never ignore him again

You need to get done, done, done, done at work, come over
Finish your work, then come over to see me
We just need to slow the motion
Let's take it slow
Don't give that away to no one
Don't share our love with anyone else
Long distance, I need you
Even though we're far apart, I still need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
When I see something promising, I have to follow through with it
If you had a twin, I would still choose you
I love everything about you, and nothing could change that
I don't wanna rush into it, if it's too soon
I don't want to move too fast if it's not the right time
Sorry if I'm way less friendly
I'm sorry if I seem distant or unfriendly
Everybody tryna end me, oh
Everyone is trying to sabotage me
No, no, no
I can't let that happen
I spilled all my emotions tonight, I'm sorry
I'm sorry for being so emotional tonight
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
I'm feeling overwhelmed and my emotions are rolling over me
How many more shots until you're rollin'?
How much more alcohol will it take for you to lose control?
We just need a face to face
We need to talk in person
You could pick the time and the place
You can choose when and where we meet
You spent some time away
You've been gone for a while
(I put in work)
I've been working hard

on Blood Meridian
See the child, pale and thin
All alone and he wears old linen
God, how the stars ??
In 1833, he ??, blames it on me
All history rests upon him
The child, the father of the man
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, I can't go much further
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, well damn this blood meridian
See the judge follow me
We liked him immediately
Go down to the state penitentiary
He never sleeps, he feet align to dancers naked online
He said that he would never die
I believe that he'll never die
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, I can't go much further
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, well damn this blood meridian
Once you need my word
Next you move the world
Once you see the sign
Next you cross the red line
Once you need my word
Next you move the world
Once you see the sign
Next you cross the red line
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, I can't go much further
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, well damn this blood meridian
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, I can't go much further
I'm treading water, I keep treading water (??)
I'm treading water, well damn this blood meridian
