Dun Deal on the Track

Dropped out of school, I didn't graduate (oh no)
But I still got the M's on my plate (oh, oh yeah)
Mama ain't really have a good job (oh no mama)
But now she ain't never gotta have no job (no no)
'Cause I work hard for mine yeah (work hard)
Work hard, work
'Cause I work hard for mine
Work hard, work hard
Work hard (oh yeah)

When I go hard anything goes (hard)
Walk in with the chains, Quavo Django (chains)
I-85 on the Banjee (skrrt skrrt)
Had to park it 4 by 4 Mercedes Jeep
Wide body check (wide), wide body check (yeah)
Answer all the calls (yeah), 'cause it might be the check (brr)
We will never fall (yeah), as long as on the head (yeah)
Called my best dog just to ship out all the meds
I'ma handle all business (yeah), I'ma handle all business (for real)
I'ma take care my mama (mama), and if I ever have children (woo)
Lord knows, Lord willing (God), can't go back to the system (nah)
If I ever get a feeling (uh), I'ma hide all the millions (woo)
Park the Benz and the Bentley (woo)
Designer belt game Fendi (designer)
Put ya bitch in the blender (splash)
Now she think she work the milly (M&Ms)
Y'all niggas too silly (ha), these niggas too envy (jealous)
Take em back to beginning (back)
Gang, gang, been winning (woo, gang)

Dropped out of school I didn't graduate (you know I didn't graduate)
But I still got the M's on my plate (the M&M way)
Mama ain't really have a good job (let's have a field day)
But now she ain't never gotta have no job (no way, no way, no way)
'Cause I work hard for mine yeah (work hard)
Work hard, work
'Cause I work hard for mine
Work hard, work hard
Work hard

When I go hard, I play hardcore (hard)
And I got that white, ain't talking chalk board (white)
Count it
That's the sound of Benjamins, my thumb sore
Pull up and get pressed (pressed), laser on the Tec (Tec)
Diamonds dripping wet (wet), you just got finessed ('nessed)
When I say I'm fresh don't need no stylist to get dressed (no)
Heard he asked for smoke don't need the game to get you pressed
I'ma serve 'em with the Tec (brr)
And it's the gang, fuck the rest (fuck 'em)
I get the bag make it stretch (stretch)
And none of my niggas ain't going for that
My niggas up now but you say you next
Look and then see what's the catch
All my dogs but we don't do fetch (nah)
Unless I put some on ya head (Takeoff)

Dropped out of school I didn't graduate (you know I didn't graduate)
But I still got the M's on my plate (the M&M way)
Mama ain't really have a good job (let's have a field day)
But now she ain't never gotta have no job (no way, no way, no way)
'Cause I work hard for mine yeah (work hard)
Work hard (work)
'Cause I work hard for mine
Work hard, work hard
Work hard (Offset!)

Worked hard, bought my mom a third car (work, work)
Left my heart in my grandma graveyard (grandma, hey)
I'm in the Blues Clues Bentley Avatar (Blues Clues)
Ain't no flaw, board on the jet eating Caviar (no flaw)
Nascar, driving it fast like a Nascar (skrrt skrrt)
This not a Jaguar, I with the remix and bath salts (remix)
We see what your stash about (stash)
Dope in the cabin route (hey!)
Feel like I'm passing out (whew)
But they keep the cash en route (racks)
I got my kids to feed, they think that I'm Hercules (think that I'm Superman)
I don't got no time to sleep I gotta subscribe to be (I cannot sleep)
Open your eyes and see a hunnid mil lottery (woo, woo)
I put my hood on my back 'cause I know they depend on me (facts)

Dropped out of school I didn't graduate (you know I didn't graduate)
But I still got the M's on my plate (the M&M way)
Mama ain't really have a good job (let's have a field day)
But now she ain't never gotta have no job (no way, no way, no way)
'Cause I work hard for mine yeah (work hard)
Work hard, work
'Cause I work hard for mine
Work hard, work hard
Work hard





Work hard, work hard
Work hard

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Migos's song "Work Hard" serve as a testament to their unorthodox career path as they confess to having dropped out of school without a diploma. However, this hasn't stopped them from putting food on their plates as they continue to grind and work hard to achieve their dreams. The lyrics then shift to discussing the group's lavish lifestyle and the spoils of their hard work.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the group has worked tirelessly to achieve success in the industry. They proclaim that they work hard for what they have, and this hard work has been instrumental in securing financial stability for themselves and their loved ones. The second verse emphasizes the group's wealth and luxury status, as they boast about their expensive cars, jewelry, and designer clothing.


The final verse highlights the importance of family and community, as the group reveals that they have used their success to positively impact the lives of those around them. They provide for their family and are dedicated to supporting their community. The song ultimately serves as a testament to the group's work ethic and determination to succeed, despite society's expectations of a traditional career path.
