Work - Wale
Walk a mile in these Louboutins
But they don't wear these shits
where I'm from
I'm not hatin, I'm just telling you
I'm tryna let you know
what the fuck I've been through
Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt
Sugar cane, back lanes
3 jobs, took years to save
But I got a ticket on that plane
People got a lot to say
But don't know shit bout where I was made
Or how many floors that I had to scrub
Just to make it past where I am from
No money, no family.
16 in the middle of Miami.
No money, no family.
16 in the middle of Miami.
No money, no family.
16 in the middle of Miami.
I've been up all night,
tryna get that rich
I've been work work work work
working on my shit
Milked the whole game twice
gotta get it how I live
I've been work work work work
working on my shit
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work work work work
Working on my shit
You don't know the half
This shit get real
Valley girls giving
Blow jobs for Louboutins
What do you call that?
Head over heels
No money, no family.
16 in the middle of Miami.
No money, no family.
16 in the middle of Miami.
No money, no family.
16 in the middle of Miami.
I've been up all night, tryna get that rich
I've been work work work work
working on my shit
Milked the whole game twice
gotta get it how I live
I've been work work work work
working on my shit
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work work work work
Working on my shit
Pledge allegiance to the struggle
Ain't been easy
But cheers to Peezy for the weeks
we lived out of duffel
Bags is all we had
Do anything for my Mum, I love you
One day I'll pay you back
For the sacrifice
That ya managed to muscle
16 you sent me through customs
So….
All aboard spaceship my to Mercury
Turn First at the light that's in front of me
Cause every night I'ma do it like my last
This dream is all that I need
Cause it's all that I ever had
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Working on my shit
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work
Now get this work work work work
Working on my shit
