Booty Work
T-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open up your truck let the base beat
Go ahead, go ahead,
You gotta walk up in the club...
I like that booty you know where to put it
Go ahead, go ahead.
Mamy you look so professional follow when you...
What is wrong with my head go ahead
'Cause baby I like how you're working it
And watching you you're working it
I'm trying get you out of this club and... in my bed
Ohh, go ahead, yeah.
[Chorus:]
Now let me see the booty work, booty work,
Booty work, boo booty work,
Booty work, booty work, boo boo boo booty work,
Go ahead, go ahead,
Now let me see the booty work, booty work,
Booty work, boo booty work.
Left cheek, right cheek, left cheek, right cheek.
Black car, black rims, black shirt, black Tims
There go, there go, baby girl keep on what you're doing
There go, there go, come on girl keep on doing what you're doing
Holy moly, look at her, she got the boots with the fur
There go, there go, come on girl keep on doing what you're doing
There go, there go, come on girl keep on doing what you're doing
And mama I can see that... when you... the Dj play that song for you
I'm tryin to drown my... all over the...
Say what her, if you keep playin with my... we're gonna get it, get it, get it
Girl I... and after... so I know that you hurt
Say what...
[Chorus:]
Now let me see the booty work, booty work,
Booty work, boo booty work,
Booty work, booty work, boo boo boo booty work,
Go ahead, go ahead,
Now let me see the booty work, booty work,
Booty work, boo booty work.
Left cheek, right cheek, left cheek, right cheek.
...
Girl it must be a... as fine as you aha
You know exactly what I'm tryin to do
You... , I'm tryin to keep it jumpin'
Girl I got a... that you remind me up
Up and down, up and down, girl you know what's happen
What's happen?... on the floor, keep that booty clapin
Your mother girls... what you're packin'
And you got them embarrassed by what you got from your parents
I'm tryin to see them shorts, see them shorts...
And coming up short, up short Kevin... , Kevin...
Come on baby keep on doing what you're doing,
Come on baby keep on doing what you're doing,
Move your feet, cover up, put your hands up
If you're the badest in the club.
Take off, come on baby keep on doing what you're doing,
Girl I'm tryin get you next to me
But first you gotta let me see that booty work
Booty work, boo booty work,
Booty work, booty work, boo boo boo booty work,
Go ahead, go ahead,
Now let me see the booty work, booty work,
Booty work, boo booty work.
Left chick, right chick, left chick, right chick.
... boom, boom, boom.
[Chorus:]
Now let me see the booty work, booty work,
Booty work, boo booty work,
Booty work, booty work, boo boo boo booty work,
Go ahead, go ahead,
Now let me see the booty work, booty work,
Booty work, boo booty work.
Left cheek, right cheek, left cheek, right cheek.
The song Booty Work by T-Pain feat. Joey Galaxy is about admiring a woman's body and dance moves in a club. The lyrics describe jumping out of a car and opening up the truck to let the base beat, then walking into the club and admiring a woman's professional-looking appearance. T-Pain expresses his attraction to the woman and how he wants to get her out of the club and into his bed, all while watching her dance and work her booty. The chorus consists of T-Pain asking the woman to show him her booty work, while describing the left and right cheek movements.
The lyrics of the song objectify and sexualize women, focusing solely on their bodies and dance moves. Additionally, the use of terms like "booty work" and "left cheek, right cheek" reduce the entire concept of a woman's dancing to just her buttocks. However, the song is upbeat and catchy, and the use of wordplay and rhyming adds to its fun nature.
