Work It Out
Dave Matthews Band/Jurassic-5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A don't stop stop your dreamin
Let yourself float upon the notion
We can work it out, we gon work it out baby
Go ahead lose yourself inside this opportunity
That we gonna make it right now, make it right now
[Marc 7even]
Right now my only rhyme is this lesson I learned
You talk about trust, I talk about lust
Its not appealin as you truly speak your feelings
I be lookin at the ceiling, so concealing
I shoulda put my heart on the table
Knowin I was good and able but instead I fed your fables
If I could have you back best believe it'd be forever
Cause each and every day you would hear those four letters
[Chorus]
[Chali 2na]
These are different times but we feel the same pains
The blood of mankind runnin through the same veins
We'd like to make it right some which it remain tame
Same crimes even though they names changed
And we like different minds workin off the same brain
Passengers on different cars steppin off the same train
In the end, makin it rights the main aim
Different parts of the picture highlight the same frame
[Chorus]
[Akil]
Now if you know what I know you need to work it out (work it out)
If you ain't happy with yourself you need to work it out (work it out)
You havin problems with your family then work it
The things we go through just to work it
I work it out when the situations seems unworkable
Unreversible but God is most merciful
Many works, Many men converse
With soul search sweat it out
When they tryin to work it out
[Soup]
With the constant complaint, we either gonna make it fly
Or we ain't, I already know what some of ya think
Ima talk a hip hop and how bad its got
Then tryna pull a brother, I'm not
Lookin for nobody to judge
You said you ain't I never thought you was
I'm just tryna get with ya and pose in the same picture
So this mic thing can move the right thing do the right thing
Made for your life game, plus my man might sing
[Chorus: x 2]
The song "Work It Out" by Dave Matthews Band/Jurassic 5 encourages listeners to never stop dreaming and to seize every opportunity to make things right. The chorus urges listeners to let themselves float on the notion that we can work things out, urging them to lose themselves in this moment and trust that everything will come together. The first verse by Marc 7even acknowledges the fact that we make mistakes and learn tough lessons but urges the listener to keep trying. He confesses that he should have put his heart on the table, but instead fed his partner's fables, leading to a heartbreak. In the next verse, Chali 2na reflects on how everyone goes through the same pain but also points out that everyone has their unique experience. He highlights that every person in the story is a different passenger on different cars stepping off the same train, contributing to making it right. The final verse by Akil encourages listeners to work it out, no matter how impossible it seems. He acknowledges that life is tough and people can feel overwhelmed, but he also reminds them that God is most merciful. Soup talks about the constant complaint and acknowledges that the world is not perfect but suggests that we can all work together to make it a better place.

Right now my only rhyme is this lesson I learned
You talk about trust, I talk about lust
It's not appealin' as you truly speak your feelings
I'll be lookin' at the ceiling, so concealing

If I could have you back best believe it'd be forever
Cause each and every day you would hear those four letters

And we like different minds workin' off the same brain
Passengers on different cars steppin' off the same train
In the end, makin' it right's the main aim
Different parts of the picture highlight the same frame
