Work, work, work, work, work, work

No time to have you lurking

Him ah go act like he nuh like it

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

Work, work, work, work, work, work

He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

(How many more shots until you're rollin'?)

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

Before the tables turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn

Beg you something, please

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 n- 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'?

Work, work, work, work, work, work

He said me haffi work, work, work, work, work, work

He see me do mi

(How many more shots until you're rollin'?)

How many more shots?

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 (yeah)
