Ty Dolla $ign Feat. Casey Veggies Twista & Nate Poetics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reality of dreams, younger for memories of a still wonder
Of who I might be
And for her it’s hard to stomach what’s left behind
And what’s to come in the same introduction of a king
Just know everything coming can only give birth to the principle that by any means
I produce like eagles
Soar in the highest clouds to let my conscience free
While these ambitions girl with the tip of my penis
To write stories, a young boy the genius
And I mean this, there’s never been a day off
Never been laid off, my own boss and my payoff is to get laid off
Get a break off just to rehire myself
For the take off
A Beach House, the EP
Ey, these hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I give no fucks, I give no damn, give no damn
I took my bitch straight from her man, from her man
That nigga ain’t had much money as I do
That nigga don’t know yo' body like I do
Yo friends think I ain’t shit, I don’t like 'em either
Them hoes ain’t shit, they can’t keep no man either
Ain’t believing me then but you see me now
Said you’d never trust me again but you believe me now
And now somehow we supposed to fix ya, 'pposed to fix ya
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
Baby girl she 100, my mind right, that’s real stuntin'
She in the crowd tryna flock for me
I fucked around and then went for it
I love that girl so much
I fucked around and paid the rent for her
Feel like I’m the right pimp for her
But we got enough, she ain’t gotta work
I give it to er, I got it first
She right here, I ain’t gotta search
We in a party (We in a party, we in a party, we in a party)
We in a party, I’m amused by how you move yo' body (Move yo body)
Baby girl she more poppin' in the 12 gauge Shawty
She off four shots, we goin' up, I don’t need no molly
These hoes fuck with the squad, she ran through the whole posy
Girl I think about you when I’m in that hotel lobby (Hotel lobby)
I’m coming home to you, yea I got work for yo' body (Yo' body)
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I’m gonna work on it
You gon' get this work, girl
I’mma throw these bands
You gon' make it clap with no hands
On a hand stand, goddamn
You gon' get this work girl
Oh oh oh (You gon' get this work girl)
I’mma throw these bands (Throw these bands)
You gon' make it clap with no hands
On a hand stand, damn
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
These hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I used to love these hoes
I used to love these hoes
I used to love these hoes
But now I love this money
I used to love these hoes
I used to love these hoes
But now I love this money
I used to love these hoes (Money)
Hoes, I used to have a lot of kind
But when they realize that I gotta grind
I replaced the lies and the thighs and the hotter dimes
With the fuckin' rhymes and the ties and the dolla signs
The symbol of the conducers off of what my mental produces
I’m leaving these haters clueless
When I spit because they missin' what I get because I’m cold
Real niggas listen to the shit that I unfold
I cannot believe the way they used to be lovin' these hoes
Now that I be on my money, it’s funny the way that I govern these hoes
And I be runnin' these hoes, doin' whatever I wanna do with em
As long as I be on my pimpin',
'Cause I’m gon' let nothing in front of me after my currency flow
And if we getting the fetty so up
So why would I throw it away for the bitches
That won’t give a fuck about me in position to fall and be nothing
I’m done wit' yo' frontin', just give me yo dollars, I don’t wanna holler
I don’t want yo' woman, I want the Impala
To seek for the Benjamins I am a shotta
And Twista love dollars but I admit
I used to love these hoes
But now I love this money
I used to love these hoes
I used to love these hoes
But now I love this money
I used to love these hoes (Money)
The lyrics to Ty Dolla $ign's song Work are fairly explicit, and largely focus on sexual conquests and money. However, a few lines in the beginning hint at deeper meaning. The first verse discusses self-discovery and personal growth. Ty Dolla $ign notes that someone in his life saw his potential before he did and how he's become his own boss. He also points to his constant productivity, and at the end of the verse, conveys his belief that everything is possible if one has self-belief.
The chorus, on the other hand, is a repeated reminder that Ty Dolla $ign has no time for ex-girlfriends who want to come back for him, and instead, offers them the opportunity to "get this work." In the second verse, Casey Veggies raps about his love for a woman and how he gladly pays her rent for her. He also mentions being at a party and admiring the way she moves her body. The last verse is Twista's and includes his thoughts on money and love for personal gain. He expresses that he used to love women, but now he loves money.
Line by Line Meaning
She knew exactly who I was becoming
The girl knows who I am evolving into
Reality of dreams, younger for memories of a still wonder
Dreams are real, memories are still young and full of awe
Of who I might be
A contemplation of the possible future versions of oneself
And for her it’s hard to stomach what’s left behind
It's difficult for her to accept what has been left behind
And what’s to come in the same introduction of a king
The introduction of a king is the same as what is to come
Just know everything coming can only give birth to the principle that by any means
The principle that anything is possible is born from everything that's coming
I produce like eagles
I create with the freedom of an eagle soaring in the sky
Soar in the highest clouds to let my conscience free
Going to the highest heights to free my conscience
So I can feed ex girls like sea gulls with better egos in out work
Using my success to show my exes that I have a much better ego than before
While these ambitions girl with the tip of my penis
Using my ambitions to attract women sexually
To write stories, a young boy the genius
Writing stories like a young boy genius
And I mean this, there’s never been a day off
I don't take days off and I truly mean this
Never been laid off, my own boss and my payoff is to get laid off
I've never been laid off, I'm my own boss and I'll only stop working when I choose to
Get a break off just to rehire myself
Taking a break only to rehire myself when I'm ready to start again
For the take off
Prepared for my next takeoff
Ey, these hoes all tryna come back and make it work, make it work
These women are trying to come back and make things work
I tell these hoes come get this work, get this work
I tell them to come and work for me
I give no fucks, I give no damn, give no damn
I don't give a damn about anything
I took my bitch straight from her man, from her man
I stole this woman from her partner
That nigga ain’t had much money as I do
Her ex didn't have as much money as I do
That nigga don’t know yo' body like I do
Her ex doesn't know her body like I do
Yo friends think I ain’t shit, I don’t like 'em either
I don't like her friends who think I'm worthless either
Them hoes ain’t shit, they can’t keep no man either
Those women are worthless and can't keep a man
Ain’t believing me then but you see me now
She didn't believe in me before, but now she sees my success
Said you’d never trust me again but you believe me now
She thought she would never trust me again, but now she does
And now somehow we supposed to fix ya, 'pposed to fix ya
We are now expected to fix things
Girl she 100, my mind right, that’s real stuntin'
She's perfect and I'm in the right frame of mind, that's real swag
She in the crowd tryna flock for me
She's in the crowd trying to get close to me
I fucked around and then went for it
I took a chance and went for it
I love that girl so much
I love her a lot
I fucked around and paid the rent for her
I even paid her rent
Feel like I’m the right pimp for her
I feel like the right person to pimp her out
But we got enough, she ain’t gotta work
We have enough money and she doesn't need to work
I give it to er, I got it first
I give it to her before anyone else
She right here, I ain’t gotta search
She's right here, I don't need to look elsewhere
We in a party (We in a party, we in a party, we in a party)
We are partying
I’m amused by how you move yo' body (Move yo body)
I'm impressed with how she moves her body
Baby girl she more poppin' in the 12 gauge Shawty
She's even more impressive than a 12-gauge shotgun
She off four shots, we goin' up, I don’t need no molly
She took four shots and now we're going up, I don't need drugs
These hoes fuck with the squad, she ran through the whole posy
These women have slept with everyone in our group
Girl I think about you when I’m in that hotel lobby (Hotel lobby)
I think about her even when I'm in a hotel lobby
I’m coming home to you, yea I got work for yo' body (Yo' body)
I'm coming home to her and I have work for her body
I’m gonna work on it
I'm going to work on pleasing her
You gon' get this work, girl
She's going to receive my efforts
I’mma throw these bands
I'm going to throw my money
You gon' make it clap with no hands
She's going to make her body clap without using her hands
On a hand stand, goddamn
She'll even do it on a handstand
I used to love these hoes
I used to love women in general
But now I love this money
Now I love money more than anything
I used to love these hoes (Money)
I used to love women (now money)
Hoes, I used to have a lot of kind
I used to have many types of women
But when they realize that I gotta grind
But now that they realize I have to hustle
I replaced the lies and the thighs and the hotter dimes
I replaced lies, easy women, and the hottest girls
With the fuckin' rhymes and the ties and the dolla signs
With my rhymes, connections, and signs of wealth
The symbol of the conducers off of what my mental produces
My mental creations are a symbol of my success
I’m leaving these haters clueless
I'm leaving my haters empty-handed
When I spit because they missin' what I get because I’m cold
My haters miss out on what I achieve because I'm ruthless
Real niggas listen to the shit that I unfold
Real people pay attention to what I reveal
I cannot believe the way they used to be lovin' these hoes
I can't believe the way people used to love easy women
Now that I be on my money, it’s funny the way that I govern these hoes
Now that I have money, it's funny how I control these women
And I be runnin' these hoes, doin' whatever I wanna do with em
I control these women and do whatever I want with them
As long as I be on my pimpin',
As long as I pimp women
'Cause I’m gon' let nothing in front of me after my currency flow
I won't let anything hinder me after my money flows
And if we getting the fetty so up
And if we're making money, let's keep it up
So why would I throw it away for the bitches
So why would I waste it on women
That won’t give a fuck about me in position to fall and be nothing
Women who won't care about me when I'm in a vulnerable position and have nothing
I’m done wit' yo' frontin', just give me yo dollars, I don’t wanna holler
I'm done with your lies, just give me your money, I don't want to argue
I don’t want yo' woman, I want the Impala
I don't want your woman, I want the car
To seek for the Benjamins I am a shotta
For the pursuit of wealth, I am a shot-caller
And Twista love dollars but I admit
Twista loves money and I agree
