Cover art for Work (Remix feat. Big L) lyrics by Gang Starr

Actually, this song although it might be a metaphor for getting famous, but on the surface this song is all about gang related stuff, I mean obviously. But when you are blood,crip, MS13, Neta, latin kings or whatever. I mean I wouldn't have even thought much about it but my boyfriend happens to be a 4 star piru, almost got his g status. But ANYWAY, my point was that putting in work is like robbing killing etc..

"Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly I've been laying, waiting for your next mistake I put in work, and watch my status escalate" "But now I'm grimy as they get, mud on my pants and shirt I bet you niggaz out here know, I be puttin in work"

I think it's directed more towards his career as a raper. He's just a hard working man! But i really don't know much about him. this is just what the lyrics tell me.
