Work

Iggy Azalea

Walk a mile in these Louboutins
But they don't wear these shits where I'm from
I'm not hating, I'm just telling you
I'm tryna let you know what the fuck that I've been through

Two feet in the red dirt, school skirt
Sugar cane, back lanes
Three jobs, took years to save
But I got a ticket on that plane
People got a lot to say
But don't know shit about 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
Sixteen in the middle of Miami
No money, no family
Sixteen in the middle of Miami
No money, no family
Sixteen in the middle of Miami
Sixteen 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
Working on my shit

Work, work, work, work yeah you know I got that soul
I'm just watching Iggy pop
Don't stop it girl, you rock 'n' roll
All she say is buy me clothes
She don't want my time she want the snort and my reply is nose (achoo)
I wonder, DC where I come from
Please believe I don't leave the scene
But they gon' fiend for me, down under
Ask beat, my youngins
Cobain, my soldier
Then Iggy called about the city, darling it's a Dundee like Paul Hogan
Hold up, they gon' play this for real
Hold up, I ain't playing with this here
Know what? I could skate with your chick
Nigga I caught her, you Foster, like "Australian for Beer"
Hold up, niggas start the show when he show up
With a lot of whores in that tour bus
Yet I'm still feeling myself, like Goldust
Better roll out, relax, and bring rollup
Better dress warm when that flow out
It's beyond something that y'all know about
Folarin the God, ho work out

You don't know the half
This shit get real
Valley girls giving blowjobs for Louboutins
What you call that?
Head over heels

No money, no family
Sixteen in the middle of Miami
No money, no family
Sixteen in the middle of Miami
No money, no family
Sixteen in the middle of Miami
Sixteen 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
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 Mama, I love you
One day I'll pay you back for the sacrifice
That ya managed to muscle
Sixteen, you sent me through customs so
All aboard my spaceship to Mercury
Turn First at the light that's in front me
'Cause every night I'ma do it like it's my last
This dream is all that I need
'Cause its 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
Working on my shit

    My Opinion
    When i listen to this song it always gives me power to shit on everybody else's head! To do my own thing. To put the power into things i like to do. Actually i am a writer so people always tell me that it is not a job and i am just doing nothing but shit, so it is really a song that gives me power to not care about other people's opinion. Maybe this is what the song wants to give. By the way the song is about (i think) a girl who worked pretty hard to escape where she was born. That town or village where she lived was quite cruel and full of uneducated people.

    Song Fact
    When Iggy Azlea was 16 she moved to Miami and had no job and wasn't sure what do to. So she worked for 3 years and finally got a record deal, and now she's on top of the world!

    My Interpretation
    This song sounds like a personal recollection and story to the top. Iggy is a survivor of sexual assault and abuse. She is an amazing person who came from a hard childhood. She grew up really fast starting her independence at 16 and worked her ass off. She does not shy away from being a feminist in public and telling her story so many women can also call their own. I love her.

I love her. "Now get to work" is about how today she can pay people to do work and she doesn't have to do it all alone.
