Work
The Work Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was on the freeway in Cali
Top shelf in my lungs
With the ocean beside me
I was riding my wave
Swerving on them curves
Laguna Beach is a vibe
San Diego's superb
Sliding like H.E.R and Y.G
With them racks in the middle
R.I.P Nipsey rolling down
Slauson bumping that victory lap
The marathon continues
And that's big facts
Palm trees and pretty women
But I'm locked in on the mission
They gonna choose anyway
So I just play my position
Long live boss rest in heaven
Og ray my time is now
It's pure elementz all day let's go
It was written im prolific when
The god spitting my vibe
High without prescription
Been popping like a perc
Never done a xanax but
I always had them bar's
Pulled up in the suv but
Slid back thru in my car
Stay in my bag
Eyes low from the gas
Pair of retro's
The stick and some cash
High science on the beat
I stay in the lab
Pure Elementz the team
With the Anthony papers collab
And im gone
The Work's song "Work" is a bold and playful song that praises the prowess of the yard man. The song's lyrics, while suggestive, encapsulate the theme of hard work and dedication. The first verse, "Oh so you the man who come to sweep the yard, the yard man. I like that broom stick your carrying, yes baby I like it," sets the tone for the song's celebration of the yard man's work. The following line, "I want you to take your broom and sweep up my yard. You better brush it good or we could fall apart," highlights the expectation that the "yard man" puts in quality work to keep the yard looking good. In the chorus, we hear lines like "Work what you waiting for, work put your back in it," which emphasizes the importance of hard work, and "work till your body hurting," which shows that hard work is not always a walk in the park.
The song's playful lyrics may generate different meanings to different people. However, at its core, it praises individuals who work hard to achieve their goals, and pushes individuals to put in the extra effort. While it may seem like a simple practice, hard work is often the key to achieving long-term success, and this song encourages its listeners to keep working hard.

No time to have you lurking
Him ah go act like he nuh like it
You know I dealt with you the nicest
Nuh body touch me you nuh righteous
Nuh badda, text me in a crisis
I believed all of your dreams, adoration
You took my heart and my keys and my patience
You took my heart on my sleeve for decoration
You mistaken my love I brought for you for foundation
All that I wanted from you was to give me
Something that I never had
Something that you've never seen
Something that you've never been, mmh
But I wake up and act like nothing's wrong
Just get ready fi work, work, work, work, work, work
He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work
He see me do mi dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work
Na, na, na, na, na, na
When you ah gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn?
Before the tables turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Beg you something, please
Baby don't you leave
Don't leave me stuck here in the streets, uh huh
If I get another chance to
I will never, no never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold your past against you?
I just hope that it gets to you
I hope that you see this through
I hope that you see this true
What can I say?
Please recognize I'm tryin', babe
I haffi work, work, work, work, work, work
He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work
He see me do mi dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work
When you ah gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me nuh care if him hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
Yeah, okay
You need to get done, done, done, done at work, come over
We just need to slow the motion
Don't give that away to no one
Long distance, I need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
If you had a twin, I would still choose you
I don't wanna rush into it, if it's too soon
But I know you need to get done, done, done, done
If you come over
Sorry if I'm way less friendly
I got niggas tryna end me, oh, yeah
I spilled all my emotions tonight, I'm sorry
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
How many more shots until you're rollin'?
We just need a face to face
You could pick the time and the place
You spent some time away
Now you need to forward
And give me all the work, work, work, work, work, work
He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work
He see me do mi dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
So me put in work, work, work, work, work, work
When you ah gon' learn, learn, learn, learn, learn
Me nuh care if him hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurting
Mmmh
Mmmh
Work, work, work, work, work, work
