About Work
"Work" is the lead single from Iggy Azalea's debut studio album, The New Classic. Hailed by Azalea as her most personal song, "Work" was developed with motivational and inspirational intentions to portray her life story; specifically dealing with her struggle as an up-and-coming rapper, and her relocation from Mullumbimby, New South Wales to Miami, Florida at age 16. In sequence with its lyrical story, the snap and trap track begins with a sad-stringed verse segment before significantly increasing in tempo at its drum and synth-heavy refrain. .
Work Lyrics
[00:01.02] Walk a mile in these Louboutins
[00:04.54]
[00:07.52] But they don't wear these shits where I'm from
[00:14.69] I'm not hating, I'm just telling you
[00:18.57]
[00:21.21] I'm tryna to let you know what the fuck that I've been through
[00:26.63] Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt
[00:28.97] Sugar cane, back lanes, three jobs took years to save
[00:32.75] But I got a ticket on that plane
[00:34.32] People got a lot to say, but don't know shit 'bout where I was made
[00:37.62] Or how many floors that I had to scrub just to make it past where I am from
[00:40.88] No money, no family, sixteen in the middle of Miami
[00:44.69] No money, no family, sixteen in the middle of Miami
[00:47.90] No money, no family, sixteen in the middle of Miami
[00:51.73] (Sixteen in the middle of Miami)
[00:54.86] I've been up all night, tryna get that rich
[00:57.86] I've been work, work, work, work
[00:59.89] Workin' on my shit
[01:01.22] Milked the whole game twice
[01:02.98] Gotta get it how I live
[01:04.58] I've been work, work, work, work
[01:06.66] Workin' on my shit
[01:07.93] Now get this work
[01:11.03] Now get this work
[01:14.35] Now get this work
[01:17.57] Now get this work
[01:20.35] Workin' on my shit
[01:22.19] You can hate it or love it
[01:23.28] Hustle and the struggle is the only thing I'm trusting
[01:25.03] Thoroughbred in a mud brick before the budget
[01:26.86] White chick on that pac shit
[01:27.70] My passion was ironic and my dreams were uncommon
[01:29.37] Guess I gone crazy, first deal changed me
[01:31.28] Robbed blind basically raped me
[01:32.21] Ran through the bull shit like a Matador
[01:33.97] Just made me madder and adamant to go at 'em and even the score
[01:35.90] So, I went harder, studied the Carters 'til a deal was offered
[01:38.85] Slept cold on the floor recording at 4 in the morn'n
[01:40.94] And now I'm passin' the bar like a lawyer
[01:42.65] Immigrant Art Ignorant
[01:43.87] Your ill intent was insurance for my benefit
[01:45.57] Hate be inconsiderate but the industry took my innocence
[01:48.24] Too late now I'm in this bitch
[01:50.37] You don't know the half
[01:51.97] This shit get real
[01:55.08] Valley Girls giving blow jobs for Louboutins
[01:58.73] What you call that?
[02:00.73] Head over heels
[02:03.18] No money, no family, sixteen in the middle of Miami
[02:06.76] No money, no family, sixteen in the middle of Miami
[02:10.22] No money, no family, sixteen in the middle of Miami
[02:14.07] (Sixteen in the middle of Miami)
[02:16.82] I've been up all night, tryna get that rich
[02:19.66] I've been work, work, work, work
[02:22.00] Workin' on my shit

[02:50.63] Do anything, for my Mum I love you
[02:53.39] One day I'll pay you back, for the sacrifice that you managed to muscle
[02:56.39] 16 you sent me through customs so
[02:58.89] All aboard my spaceship to Mercury
[03:02.16] Turn first at the light that's in front me
[03:05.46] 'Cause every night I'ma do it like it's my last
