Wörk
Iggy Azalia Lyrics

Walk a mile in these louboutains
Experience my life and the hardships I faced

But they don't wear these shits where I'm from
Others do not understand my life experiences

I'm not hating, I'm just telling you
I am not trying to spread negativity, but trying to inform you

I'm tryna let you know what the fuck that I've been through
I am trying to express the difficulties and struggles I have faced

Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt
I grew up in a poverty-stricken area

Sugar care, back lanes
I had to work hard and take odd jobs to make ends meet

Three jobs, took years to save
I had to work multiple jobs over many years to save money

But I got a ticket on that plane
I managed to save enough money to travel and hopefully achieve my dreams

People got a lot to say
Many people have opinions about my life and my journey

But don't know a thing about where I was made
They do not understand where I came from and the struggles I faced growing up

Or how many floors that I had to scrub
I had to work hard and do menial jobs to survive

Just to make it past where I am from
I worked hard to overcome the challenges of growing up in poverty

No money, no family
I had no financial or familial support

Sixteen in the middle of Miami
I faced these struggles at a young age in Miami

I've been up all night, tryna get that rich
I have been working tirelessly to achieve financial success

I've been work work work work working on my shit
I have been working hard and relentlessly on improving myself and achieving my goals

Milked the whole game twice, gotta get it how I live
I have used my experiences and struggles to my advantage in the music industry

Now get this work, Now get this work
I am focused on continuing to work hard and achieve success

You can hate it or love it
People may have different opinions about me and my success

Hustle and the struggle is the only thing I'm trusting
I believe that my hard work and determination will lead to my success

Thorough bread in a mud brick before the budget
I was a diamond in the rough before I had money to invest in myself

White chick on that Pac shit
I am a white rapper, inspired by Tupac and his social messages

My passion was ironic
My love for music and my ambition to succeed in the industry was unexpected given my background

And my dreams were uncommon
My ambitions to succeed in a tough industry as a white rapper from a poor background were unusual

Guess I gone crazy, first deal changed me
The success from my first deal made me feel like I had lost myself

Robbed blind, basically raped me
I was taken advantage of and manipulated by the industry

Ran through the bullshit like a Matador
I overcame the challenges and obstacles of the industry like a bullfighter does with a bull

Just made me madder and adamant to go at em
I used my negative experiences in the industry to motivate me to work harder and seek revenge

And even the score
I wanted to get even with those who wronged me in the industry

Studied the Carters till a deal was offered
I worked hard and studied the successes of Jay-Z and Beyonce until I was offered a deal

Slept cold on the floor recording
I sacrificed comfort to work on my music

At 4 in the morning
I worked hard and long hours, even staying up until early hours of the morning

Immigrant, art ignorant
As an immigrant, I faced unique challenges and obstacles, including ignorance towards my passion for music

Ya ill intent was insurance for my benefit
The negative intentions of others towards me ended up motivating me and working towards my benefit

Hate be inconsiderate
Hate is often unreasonable and lacks consideration for others' experiences

But the Industry took my innocence
The music industry exposed me to hardships and negative experiences that I was not prepared for

Too late, now I'm in this bitch!
Despite facing these negative experiences, I have persevered and am now a part of the industry

Valley girls giving blowjobs for Louis Vuitton
Some people are willing to resort to immoral actions to attain wealth and luxury

What you call that?
I question the morality of those who would engage in such behavior

Head over heels
People become infatuated with material possessions and become willing to do anything to achieve them

Pledge allegiance to the struggle
I remain committed to working hard and overcoming challenges to achieve success

Ain't been easy
My path to success has been challenging and difficult

But cheers to Peezy for the weeks we lived out of duffle
I am grateful for the support and friendship of my peers, who helped me through tough times

Bags is all we had
We had very little resources and material possessions

Do anything for my Mama, I love you
I am committed to providing for my mother and expressing my love for her

One day I'll pay you back for the sacrifice
I plan to repay my mother for the love and support she has given me throughout my life

That ya managed to muscle
I recognize and appreciate the sacrifices and efforts that my mother has made for me and my family

Sixteen, you sent me through customs so
My mother supported me coming to live in the United States at a young age

All aboard my spaceship to Mercury
I am moving towards my goals and dreams like a spaceship zooming towards Mercury

Turn First at the light that's in front of me
I am motivated and focused on achieving success, taking things step by step

Cause every night I'mma do it like it's my last
I am motivated to work hard every day as if it is my last chance to achieve my dreams

This dream is all that I need
I am focused on achieving my dreams and do not need anything else to be fulfilled

Cause its all that I ever had
My dreams and ambitions have been my driving force throughout my life

Working on my shit...
I am focused on working hard and improving my craft to achieve my goals
