Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These niggers don't know man
No mercy in the streets
Five more reasons imma die today nigger
Bad boy look at me they all say bigger
I din't mean to kill em n I only care about two things
Eights and Zeros
Someone pass the lighter
Mofuckin' best
Nigger imma fighter
Woke up in the morning
I still do all nighters
I am never stopping
No I'm never stopping
Is it the ganja
Or the lack of the sleep
Souls that I buried keep on talking so deep
Tellin me double m you better stop with killin these niggers everyday cuz you're in a murderous week
Everyday I always knew struggle
I had to fuckin hustle
I can never stop
More muscle
Knew a nigger had to get big
That was that shit
Everything I do is fucking lit
Everything I do is for my sis
Everything I do is for my kids
Lord give me kids
I was in a very bad place
They say I change face
So I didn't show no face
Woke up in the morning real fresh
No contest
You know I'm the best
That's the way I'm livin my life
Money don't sleep and I don't spend no nights
I was a straight A student
Had d best b student
She's a Cu student
I'm a big D student
Never got E student
I don't give eFF's student
Rolling with G students
Lord help us students
Lord help us students
Make SARS men repent
Bring good governance
And new presidents
Bless me and my men
Wash all of our sins
You see d truth is
You're not going anywhere if you're staying in one place
You gotta move
You gotta eat
So watch out for what's next
See you on TV
The lyrics to MAW's song "Work" carry a strong message about living on the streets and the struggles that come with it. The rapper starts with the opening line "It's double M" which refers to his name or his crew's name, indicating he is proud of his identity. What follows next is a commentary on life in the streets, where there is no mercy. The line "Five more reasons imma die today nigger" carries a sense of hopelessness, and the feeling of inevitability that death is waiting around every corner. The rapper's bad-boy look and impression (people say bigger), combined with the knowledge that there's no stopping or giving up, is the only way to survive the chaos.
MAW then reveals that he is motivated by money, the numbers 8 and 0 representing his favorite figures. He is fixated on making as much money as possible and will do whatever it takes to reach that goal. But the weight of his actions seems to haunt him, talking to the souls he buried, and he questions whether it's the ganja or the lack of sleep that's causing him to hear voices. In the verses that come after this, he expresses his sentiments towards his family and the struggles they have to go through to survive.
The bridge of the song brings us back to the education system and how much the rapper struggled to succeed academically. He puts a positive spin on it, using the experience to mold him into the person he is today. The line "Wash all of our sins" implies the rapper is looking for redemption, almost as if he has been given a second chance at life. Overall, MAW's "Work" is an honest reflection of his life and embodies the struggle and desperation that drive people to do what they can to survive.
