Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Puffing on the purp
Overtime on you niggas
Going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
Overtime on you niggas, 'cause going to work
I'm gonna get it any means necessary
'Cause you know I'm 'bout my paper like a secretary
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
Gotta go to court tomorrow, DA on my dick
So I'mma wear my Audemar, just to make her sick
I might go yellow Presi on her
Just to make her pissed
Then go home and break a brick and break it down to bacon bits
I'm going to work I'm going to work
The phone's popping, like we on the first
We up on Neiman's, we going berserk
A nigga cross me, he going to church
Ridin' through the hood, back of the 'Bach
Started in the front, now they in back of the 'Bach
No love for the haters, no rap for the rats
Velcro shorty, we strapped and they strapped, work
Half you niggas telling so we never sell'em work
They don't wanna come and get it so we mail 'em work
Put my money in it so you know it better work
And my shooters with me so you know they put in work
Riding with the steel
Puffing on the purp
Overtime on you niggas
Going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
Overtime on you niggas, 'cause going to work
I'm gonna get it any means necessary
'Cause you know I'm 'bout my paper like a secretary
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
I might go buy a boat tomorrow
Just to take a trip
Big belly rude boy
Bad Jamaican bitch
I head straight to Colombia
I'm talking Bogota
Ship 'em up to Philly, Milly living like he Gorbachev
Not the Reagen Era but a nigga making cheddar
Rayful Edmond in the mirror and I'm never telling
The game sweet soda, seats watermelon
Clip full of sunflower seeds in my Mac-11
And I steal a mothafucka's like a student felon
Bookbags full of blocks and them bitches selling
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
Riding with the steel
Puffing on the purp
Overtime on you niggas
Going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
Overtime on you niggas, 'cause going to work
I'm gonna get it any means necessary
'Cause you know I'm 'bout my paper like a secretary
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
Got some youngins that will murder for a new bike
Have you looking like you're fresh up out a food fight
Spaghetti on your head, shirt ketchup red
Shooting banana clips, we ain't never scared
Niggas say they looking for me, they ain't ever there
I'm like a Metro Phone Store 'cause I'm everywhere
I'm gon' get it any means necessary
'Cause you know I'm bout my paper like a secretary
Gave my nigga fifty years, forever buried
He said he gone make it home like he never worried
Free the homie Rick, and free my homie Brick
Doing hard time, love of the 36
Tried to get her number, shawty she ain't know me then
Wanna fuck me now, I'm like you dirty bitch!
Rookie of the year 'cause I murder shit, murder!
And I'm way back, 'cause it's Maybach
Riding with the steel
Puffing on the purp
Overtime on you niggas
Going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
Overtime on you niggas, 'cause going to work
I'm gonna get it any means necessary
'Cause you know I'm bout my paper like a secretary
I'm going to work, I'm going to work
I'm going to work, I'm going to work (work!)
In Rick Ross (ft. Meek Mill)'s song "Work", the lyrics describe the artists' dedication to their hustles, whether it's through drug dealing, money-making, or just putting in work in general. The song features a heavy bassline and intense vocals that encapsulate the gritty lifestyle and mentality of those trying to make their way up the ladder. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm going to work" multiple times, indicating that neither Rick Ross nor Meek Mill is going to let anything get in the way of them achieving their goals.
The verse describes Ross's experience with the law, as he mentions wearing his expensive watch to court just to spite the prosecutor who is going after him. Ross also details his involvement in the drug trade from his connections in Colombia to the selling of the product on the streets. Meek Mill's verse contrasts this with his own experiences, mentioning how his younger associates are willing to do anything to prove themselves and earn their keep.
Overall, "Work" is an anthem for anyone who is willing to put in the effort to achieve their goals, even if it means going to extreme lengths to make it happen.
