I like that broom stick your carrying yes baby I like it.
I want you to take your broom and sweep up my yard.
You better brush it good or we could fall apart.
Don't give me no shortcut thing you have all day and night.
I had to satisfy,so you better do it right.
Work what you waiting for
Work put your back in it
Work just a little more
Work sure your wanting it now
Work till your body hurting
Work working hard and long
Work when you finish that
Work I want your god damn tongue
Go down, go down go down,
Come up, come up come up come up
Go down go down go down go down
Come up come up come up come up
Its what you come to do, Just remember that
And don't pick me fruits,you can put them back
You start of working nice,with your big broomstick
Now your easing back, like your 'fraid of brick
Work what you waiting for
Work put your back in it
Work just a little more
Work sure your wanting it now
Work till your body hurting
Work working hard and long
Work when you finish that
Work I want your god damn tongue
Go down, go down go down,
Come up, come up come up come up
Go down go down go down go down
Come up come up come up come up
Oh yes yes baby I like the work you do on my yard.
You do reel good work yard man.
I find you lookin' nervous like your afraid to fail.
Now your making excuse bout your feeling pains
Just don't waste my time cause you will get me mad.
Have a bit down there, that could bite your broomstick hard
Work what you waiting for
Work put your back in it
Work just a little more
Work sure your wanting it now
Work till your body hurting
Work working hard and long
Work when you finish that
Work I want your god damn tongue
Work I want your god damn tongue
Go down, go down go down,
Come up, come up come up come up
Go down go down go down go down
Come up come up come up come up
Come up come up come up come up
Ladies, you know if you don't have a yard man, you can't be a hard man, you know
What I'm talking about. Guys you know what I'm talking about too,not so?
And if a man want to test you tell him come, come
And if a man want to test you tell him come, come
So if a boy want to test you tell him come, come
And if a man want to test you tell him come, come
Work, work, work,work,work

The song Work by Rihanna featuring Drake is a dancehall-inspired track that is sung in Patois. The lyrics are based on a conversation between two lovers where the woman is asking her man to work hard to satisfy her desires, and the man is responding with his willingness to work hard for her. The first verse has Rihanna calling out to her yard man, praising him for carrying a broomstick and liking it. She then asks him to sweep up her yard and do a good job, warning him not to take any shortcuts. This is followed by the chorus where Rihanna repeats "Work" several times and encourages the yard man to work hard, even if it means pushing himself to the limit.
In the second verse, Rihanna notices that the yard man is starting to ease back and not work as hard as he did earlier. She warns him not to waste her time and to keep up his work or face her anger. Throughout the song, Rihanna makes it clear that she wants her man to satisfy her in every way possible, even going as far as wanting his tongue. The song ends with a call and response between Rihanna and the chorus, repeating "Work" several times.

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, mm
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

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

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
