Work
Ty Dolla $ign Feat. Casey Veggies Twista & Nate Poetics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She knew exactly who I was becoming
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
So I can feed ex girls like sea gulls with better egos in out work
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)

Overall Meaning

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.

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

Of who I might be

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

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

D.R.U.G.S. has the most captivating production that I've heard since Timbaland got in the game. The transitions are on another level. They are definitely ahead of their time.
