Often I’m mistaken for granted and forsaken foreal, ah ha
Ain’t no one above me, they hate me and just love me still, I
Raise the babies with no maybes, not of man
So don’t say I don’t werk
Werk werk
Werk werk
Werk it, werk it, werk it,
werk it, werk it, werk it (Chorus 2x)
werk, werk, werk, baby I just werk!
They call me super dooper homegirl and a trooper you see, now ow
They don’t wanna pay me, profit from my slavery for free, now
Can’t control me, cause I know me, I’m the prize
So don’t say I don’t werk
Werk werk
Werk werk
Werk it, werk it, werk it,
werk it, werk it, werk it (Chorus 2x)
werk, werk, werk, baby I just werk!
