Wörk
Missy Eliot ft. Ciara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Early in the morning
And I need to wake up
Time to make some coffee
And put milk on top
Dressed up like a queen
But the realities not
To pick me up
Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Work, work, work
It's time to meet my team
Work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool
Work,work,work
Sometimes it makes me fool
Now it's four in the afternoon
I'ts time to go home
Still waiting for the bus
That will drive me home
Then I see my two buddies
And they smiled at me
That's the perk of life
That makes me free
Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Work, work, work
I'ts time to meet my team
Work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool
Work, work, work
Sometimes it makes me fool
Some bosses are too good
Some bosses are too strict
Some easily can be handle
And some are stiff
The look maybe tough
And sometimes can be rough
The heart is so demanding
That can heat you up
Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Let us work, work, work
I'ts time to meet my team
Let us work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool
Let us work, work, work
Sometimes it makes fool
Work, work, work
I'ts everyday routine
Let us work, work, work
I'ts time to meet my team
Let us work, work, work
I'm trying to be cool
Let us work, work, work
Sometimes it makes me fool
The lyrics to Missy Elliott ft. Ciara's song Work is a call to action for everyone in the club to get up and show off their best dance moves. The verses describe the atmosphere of the club, with “kings and queens” posted at the bar and everyone ready to “take it all.” The chorus then urges listeners to “work work work work” and “walk that walk” to show off their skills. The song features a positive message about being confident in oneself and not being afraid to show off what you can do.
The lyrics also include some more sexually suggestive references, such as “shake that thang like a donkey” and “eat that food like ya hungry,” which some critics have argued reinforces negative stereotypes about women’s bodies. However, the overall tone of the song is one of celebration and empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their bodies and let loose on the dance floor.
