WRK Lyrics

[Chorus]
Need work, need work (Let’s get to work)
Work, work, work, work (Let’s go to work)
Work, work, work, work
Need work, need work
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work (Runnin’ this shit)
Need work, need—
Work, work, work, work (Get your ass up, get your ass up)
Work, work, work, work (Get your ass up, get your ass up)
Work, work, work, work (Get your ass up, get your ass up)
Work, work, work, work (Get your ass up, get your ass up)
Ayy, uh, look

[Verse 1]
You couldn’t even stop my drive if it were 1955
And I’m on 85 doing ninety-five in a 1952 Dodge
I done seen so much with two eyes, I don’t even feel a way
Just neutralize ’em
Been criticized and been scrutinized
It ain’t shit to me, I’m just shooin’ flies
It ain’t shit to me, it’s just you and I
Then me and God and my crew of guys
They can’t get to me, Lord knew they tried
But like Denzel Washington, The Book of Elijah
Niggas movin’ blind and a lil’ behind
And if you forgot, here’s a lil’ reminder that I’m still choppin’ wood
Still grindin’, still rhymin’
Poppin’ and I be on kill timin’
In the rough, I’m like a real diamond
In the cut, I like a chill climate
Pretty much, I’m just a cool nigga
You don’t wanna see me? Cool, try me
I’ve been working on my attitude
Don’t know what I’m ’bout to do ’bout it
But I know I’m ’bout to act a fool
In a bad mood, so I’m taking it out on my work

[Chorus]
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
Need work, need work
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work (Runnin’ this shit)
Need work, need work
Work, work, work, work (Let’s go to work)
Work, work, work, work (Runnin’ this shit)
Work, work, work, work (Let’s go to work)
Work, work, work, work (I got so much fuckin’ bones)
Work, work, work, work (I’ve been workin’ more than y’all)
(Uh, it’s been gettin’ dark in here, for real)
Work, work, work, work (And my nigga on the ball)
Work, work, work, work (He still workin’ in the hall)
Look, alright

[Verse 2]
Hold up a minute then look in these niggas’ eyes
Boy, they gotta be sick and tired
Showed ’em I do it like was an exercise, and I did it like twenty times
You know that I roll with the guys, the same kind, unified, semper fi (Let’s go)
Better stay on your side, or play with the crime that placed me inside the insane asylum (Yeah)
Nigga playin’ stupid, you don’t see the sign?
You don’t feel the vibe? You can’t hear the sirens?
Repetition, niggas need reminders
I clutch the .40, it’ll clear your conscience (Bah)
Reputation, I been workin’ honest
I’m a Georgia boy, but I’m Atlanta’s finest
Goin’ door to door I’m tryna organize it
I restored the feelin’ and fulfilled the promise (Ayy)
You don’t wanna talk about grindin’
First up, nigga gotta pay homage
Step two, step through like Bron and Bryant
Take off the head of a giant
Step three, nigga, fuck them, just me
Before I get that, gotta kick back
Watch a nigga let Rome burn like a lit match
Let grown men get they own lick back
Hol’ up, they starting to look at the nigga
I guess I really am the pick of the litter
I’m sippin’ liquor like a leader or bigger
You need a liter I can come and deliver
The victory, but again, revenge is bittersweet
In the end I win like A.D. did
And the stones cement, it’s meant to be
I’ll dethrone the king with enemies

[Bridge]
You take off my work today
I take off my shirt today
I’m takin’ out the tank
Okay, I’m takin’ off Earth today
Got put in the verse today
So pardon my patience, you been gettin’ shaked
I take ’em the work (Work)
Wait (Wait), lift with your legs lil’ bruh

[Chorus]
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
Need work, need work
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
(Runnin’ this shit)
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
(I got so much fuckin’ bones, I’ve been workin’ more than y’all)
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
(And my nigga on the ball, he still workin’ in the hall)
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
(I got so much fuckin’ bones, I’ve been workin’ more than y’all)
Get your ass up, get your ass up (Work, work, work, work)
(And my nigga on the ball, he still workin’ in the hall)
Need work, need work

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

WRK Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The chorus establishes the song’s relentless theme of hustle and self-discipline. With repetitive calls to “get your ass up” and “work,” JID drives home the message that achieving success demands constant effort. The repetition mimics the monotony and grind of daily labor, but in a motivating way—pushing both himself and his listeners to stay active, focused, and determined. The high-energy cadence and mantra-like delivery reinforce the urgency to stay moving, mentally and physically.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, JID illustrates his unstoppable drive by comparing himself to a classic car barreling down the highway—an image of timeless determination. He reflects on his resilience, referencing criticism, scrutiny, and attempts to derail him, all of which he shrugs off. JID’s mention of “The Book of Elijah” draws a spiritual parallel, portraying himself as a prophet of grind and perseverance. He blends cool confidence with raw emotion, admitting he’s in a bad mood but turning that frustration into fuel for his craft. It’s a reminder that even when emotionally taxed, he chooses to channel pain into productivity.

[Chorus]
Reappearing after the first verse, the chorus intensifies the call to action. The repetition now carries added weight, informed by the vulnerability JID revealed earlier. There’s a sense of momentum building—each “work” chant not just a word, but a declaration of purpose. JID also breaks from the rigid pattern briefly, throwing in personal reflections like “I got so much fuckin’ bones,” implying the toll that overworking takes while still pressing forward.

[Verse 2]
Here, JID goes even harder, adopting a sharper tone to challenge those who’ve doubted or overlooked him. He boasts of his consistency and discipline, likening his grind to military unity and precision. The line “You don’t see the sign?” implies that people are ignoring his rise despite clear signals. He talks about restoring hip-hop’s essence and fulfilling his promises to himself and his community. The references to Kobe Bryant and LeBron James signify steps to greatness, underscoring that he’s not only claiming space but redefining it. He ends the verse with braggadocio and reflection, asserting that success—and vengeance—will come through sheer will and craft.

[Bridge]
In this section, JID becomes more abstract, expressing a sense of ascension and transformation. The lines suggest he’s shedding layers of doubt and breaking beyond earthly limitations, as if his artistry lifts him out of the mundane. The bridge emphasizes the spiritual connection he feels to his work, blending humor, aggression, and passion. Telling someone to “lift with your legs lil’ bruh” adds a touch of wit, keeping the theme of physical effort alive even in metaphor.

[Chorus]
The final chorus, now layered with everything that’s come before, becomes a war cry. It embodies exhaustion, perseverance, and pride all at once. The phrases take on deeper emotional resonance, portraying the chorus not just as a motivational chant but as a testimony to the cost and necessity of never stopping. Each repetition is a brick in the monument of JID’s comeback, solidifying the song’s core message: work is the foundation of redemption and greatness.

[Outro]
The outro provides a sonic comedown while subtly reinforcing the song’s themes. The repeated “yeah” lines, though minimalist, feel like a breath—perhaps signaling a moment of pause before the next grind begins. It leaves the listener with an echo of the song’s tireless spirit, reminding them that the work never truly stops.
