WORK
Lyrics:
[English]
Gotta WORK
Gotta make that money make purse
Gotta fur coat so I make it purr
Give ‘em whip lash when they see me earn
Gotta gotta gotta WORK
Gotta make that money make purse
Gotta fur coat so I make it purr
Gotta get that credit get perks
Gotta gotta gotta WORK
Got that golden plate ready for me when I open my eyes
Just landed from LA to Tokyo
Picked out a watch to match the time difference, the classic type
If I make a move, the guardians follow me
Breaking News popping up no matter where I go
My songs play all day on the radio
Girls dancing like flamingo
But my time is money, so adios
Ganso que pone huevos de oro
Building towers 24 hours a day
Not really interested in socializing
No no no no no
Gotta WORK
Gotta make that money make purse
Gotta fur coat so I make it purr
Give ‘em whip lash when they see me earn
Gotta gotta gotta WORK
Gotta make that money make purse
Gotta fur coat so I make it purr
Gotta get that credit get perks
Gotta gotta gotta WORK
Gotta make that money make purse
Bba-ra-ba-ra-bam run, whizzing by
Let’s go, straight forward and drink up all that fresh air
Light coming down all over me, blindingly bright like gee gee
Just look, those little entertainers, just follow The Real ones go go
Even my friends, in-laws, third cousins
Go full circle, and the world is one big family
I’m good, just pass on by
Got seats on our flight already reserved
Yeah purr, shaking just like a jet
Uh, sprinkle that seasoning from above (Stack, stack)
My clock ticks on a different beat,
chasing that dough?
Wow ride with me
Ganso que pone huevos de oro
Building towers 24 hours
Not really interested in socializing
No no no no no
Gotta WORK
Gotta make that money make purse
Gotta fur coat so I make it purr
Give ‘em whip lash when they see me earn
Gotta gotta gotta WORK
Gotta make that money make purse
Gotta fur coat so I make it purr
Gotta get that credit get perks
Gotta gotta gotta WORK
Clock tic tac toe, hurry up
I’m busy right now, get out of my way
We’re sky high right now
You can’t find me where I stand
Gotta make that money make purse
Money make purse
Gotta make that money make purse
Money make purse
Gotta make that money make
