Work Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
These lines describe the artist re-entering a familiar environment, likely a party or the music scene, while under the influence. He feels people watching him, possibly due to his fame, but instead of enjoying the attention, he considers leaving. This suggests a sense of discomfort or detachment, showing how success can make social interactions feel overwhelming or empty.

[Verse 1]
Here, the artist talks about decision-making and feeling lost. The blurry lights symbolize confusion or intoxication, showing how his lifestyle can cloud his judgment. He acknowledges that he has nothing to lose or prove, which makes things both freeing and scary. The lines about people “milking” him for his money suggest that others take advantage of his success. He also mentions controlling his own choices, likening people to fruit he can pick. The verse ends by highlighting how people only care about visible success rather than the effort behind it.

[Refrain]
The repeated “work” emphasizes the grind and effort behind his lifestyle. It acts as a mantra, reinforcing that everything people see—the wealth, fame, and success—comes from constant hard work.

[Chorus]
Again, the artist describes being back in a familiar setting while intoxicated. He acknowledges people watching him, possibly fans or critics, and feels like it’s time to leave. This reflects the loneliness or pressure that can come with fame, where attention doesn’t always feel good.

[Verse 2]
This verse talks about a brief interaction with a woman. She and her friends notice him, but instead of engaging, he considers leaving. He mentions drügs (Percocet and lean), suggesting he uses substances to cope with his lifestyle. There’s also a hint of materialism, where he acknowledges designer brands but implies he doesn’t need them to impress. Overall, this verse reflects a detached and fast-moving lifestyle where relationships and experiences are fleeting.

[Bridge]
These lines highlight the artist’s transactional view of relationships, where people cater to him because of his status. He acknowledges that success isn’t free—it takes work. He repeats that his wealth is for himself, emphasizing independence and self-sufficiency. The mention of “work” again ties back to the idea that everything he has comes from relentless effort, not luck.

[Outro]
The repetition of “work” reinforces the song’s core theme: success is built through constant effort. The phrase “get it together” suggests a need for focus, possibly directed at himself or others. The outro serves as a reminder that no matter how chaotic life gets, the grind continues.
