Work Hard
The Game Lyrics

Get Low Records motherfucker
Representing the record label Get Low Records

Bringin' the best to the table
Introducing the top talent to the music industry

Bluechip, Nina B, (?) What it is
Highlighting the artists Bluechip and Nina B in the song

Jt Get Low motherfucker that's what it is motherfucker
Emphasizing the association with Jt Get Low and the label

Yeah, who fuckin' with us, nigga?
Questioning others who can compete with their talent

Now (what goes around comes around)
Implying the consequences of one's actions

I'm puttin' this clique up nigga against all you niggaz
Challenging other artists with their group

Now get it right
Asserting the need for others to understand their message

Hey yo, this is where I see me in this game
Expressing personal ambitions and aspirations

Benz Coupe, Maserati, plus I got your bitch all in the Range
Boasting about luxury cars and romantic conquests

And y'all niggaz ain't gon' do shit, soon as your crew spit
Dismissing the abilities of other artists and their crews

My tool spit, metal to your side, watch you lose hips
Threatening violence and the consequences it brings

And I ain't want to take it there but fuck it we can bang
Expressing readiness for confrontation, regardless of the consequences

My Cali head-busters'll show you how to throw them things
Referring to their associates in California who are skilled in physical altercations

I'm too connected like John Gotti and Nino
Comparing themselves to infamous figures known for their influence and connections

For a small fee they find your body wreakin' out in Reno
Implies the ability to have someone eliminated for a price

I know the niggaz that sell weight, and niggaz that stick the niggaz
Having connections with both drug suppliers and enforcers

That sell weight, hammer close behind me like when you tailgate
Being constantly prepared for the worst, having protection

I know you a snitch, I can see it in your eyes
Accusing someone of being an informant

Shackled up, D.O.C.'s, all my niggaz on that ride
Referring to friends who are incarcerated

You can, stunt if you wanna, Chip is a gunner
Asserting their aggressiveness and willingness to act

Been reignin' since ninety-six now it's time for the thunder
Highlighting their success and declaring a new phase of dominance

In your mind you can blame me but open your mouth and name me
Acknowledging the criticism while demanding accountability

I'm runnin' you out of office you're softer than Bush and Cheney
Claiming superiority over weak opponents

Go 'head, and try to play me I do you like I was Amy Fisher
Threatening to retaliate forcefully, paralleling the Amy Fisher case

Smokin' a Swisher like I wish a bitch would
Indicating readiness to confront any challenge

Listen and use your vision cause livin in this hood
Encouraging the audience to be observant in their environment

And sinnin' in your division you think it's all good
Pointing out the consequences of immoral actions

Got niggaz on (Death Row) and it ain't about Suge
Having connections to dangerous individuals, separate from Suge Knight

Niggaz that stay home they scared to come out shook
Implying that some individuals are fearful and lack courage

Mothers with five kids and all of 'em got took
Referencing the struggles faced by single mothers and loss within their communities

It's right in these niggaz face, but they just will not look
Highlighting the willful ignorance of certain individuals

I'm tired, of the B.S. I'm cheatin' (?) Some rejects
Expressing frustration with dishonesty and those who are ignored

Even though we make the best of what little respect, we get
Acknowledging that they have to make the most of limited recognition

This is the life, that was given to me
Reflecting on their circumstances and upbringing

A rich-ass bitch that's what I'm fittin to be
Aspiring to achieve wealth and success

Brooklyn to Bangkok I'm beggin to be
Expressing a desire to be recognized and respected globally

And don't nobody write, what I'm spittin but me
Claiming originality and uniqueness in their lyrics

Nina B
Referring to the artist Nina B

We 'bout to blow this bitch
Preparing to achieve widespread success

Niggaz work hard in the game so they notice this, what
Highlighting the dedication put into their craft to gain recognition

Underground with it, poppin' collars now
Thriving in the underground scene and gaining popularity

Bust yo' shit nigga, put them guns down
Encouraging others to settle disputes without violence

Put yo' knuckles up, catch you slippin', dawg
Advocating for physical confrontation if necessary

That's how we do it independent now we 'bout to ball
Celebrating their independence and upcoming success

For years niggaz sold me dreams that got me gassed
Expressing disappointment in empty promises made by others

Made me want to get revenge or get the hockey mask
Feeling the desire to seek retribution or hide their identity

Got beef? Yo the burner's in the lobby stashed
Keeping a firearm readily accessible for potential conflicts

Get your crew if you want, all them niggaz is probably ass
Doubting the skills and abilities of their opponents

I take the long way, fuck takin' the shortcut
Preferring to achieve success through hard work and dedication

Now we got corporate sponsorships wrappin' our tour bus
Indicating the support and endorsement received from corporate entities

A quick 32, yo them shits is like warmups
Referring to their rap verses as effortless and easy

It ain't coincidental in the hood we was born tough
Believing that resilience and toughness are an inherent part of their upbringing

You chump or get chumped, punk or get punked
Warning others to either stand up for themselves or be taken advantage of

Save your lil' craps homey, fuck it get drunk
Dismissing petty arguments and suggesting to enjoy oneself instead

Was one at the top, but now I'm back at the bottom
Acknowledging a fall from success and starting over

Most 'em hate to spit with me cause when I rap I surprise 'em
Being underestimated in their lyrical abilities and ability to impress

Shit is real, that's why I stay strapped with a condom
Being prepared in multiple ways, both physically and emotionally

I keep 31 flavors just like Baskin & Robbins
Emphasizing their versatility and range as an artist

I'm here now, y'all supposed to be stressed, scared to death
Asserting their presence and expecting others to be intimidated

That you gonna be next, record labels, promote the rejects
Critiquing the music industry's tendency to prioritize less talented artists

While starvin' artists is closest to sets
Acknowledging the struggles faced by passionate, lesser-known musicians

And certain niggaz duckin' me because they owe me a check
Being avoided by individuals who owe them money

I spit more heat, than a bowl of chili, y'all niggaz know the dealie
Boasting about their impressive lyrical skills and artistic abilities

So turn the music up and roll a Philly
Encouraging the audience to enjoy the music and relax

Yeah, roll the Philly or Swisher Sweet
Suggesting to smoke a blunt while listening to the music

And I ain't trippin' while you niggaz just stand on your feet
Remaining unfazed while others struggle to make an impact

Figaro done walked in the building, it's time to expand
Asserting their presence and readiness to grow and succeed

Comin' with hundreds of grands and hundreds of plans
Bringing financial resources and ambitious ideas

You see this Black Wall Street is for the po' broke and hungry
Creating opportunities for those who are marginalized and in need

None of my niggaz on the corner never be lonely
Supporting and standing together in their community

Stuck in the gutter mayne, coke packs like Tony
Referring to the struggles faced in their environment, with a mention of Tony Montana's lifestyle

Bricks and pounds of weed half the city owe me
Being heavily involved in the drug trade, with many owing money

My shipment too big, frontin' out the homies
Having a large quantity of illicit goods and showing off to friends

I ain't even trippin', mayne my pockets never lonely
Remaining unconcerned about finances due to wealth and abundance

Benjamin Franklins and Grants stick together like
Referring to various denominations of money and their value

Boys in tough weather makin' noise forever, aah
Remaining resilient and achieving success despite difficult circumstances

Yeah mayne, it's real shit nigga and we independent nigga
Acknowledging the authenticity and independence of their music

Fuck what'chu heard dawg, independent is where the money is at nigga
Disregarding negative opinions and highlighting the profitability of being independent

Fuck all your major labels nigga, that's what it is
Rejecting the influence and control exerted by major record labels

Jt the Bigga Figga, Nina B
Ending the song by mentioning Jt the Bigga Figga and Nina B once again
