lyrics

(Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl, hear what I said
Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl, til you are dead)

Well, some people know how to take you down
They'll string you up while they're stringing you around
They'll lie to your face, just to get ahead
They'll steal all your oats just to make their own bread
Well for 5 long years, I've been working this shift
Getting calloused hands cleaning up other people's shit
If I don't get paid, I won't get fed
But I aim to burn this bitch down before I'm dead

I don't want much in life, except some respect
I've been giving so long, and I ain't gotten back yet
They say that a working man's got dignity
But I know there ain't no flip side for femininity
I cross my T's and I dot my I's
I always come clean when I tell a lie
So a good woman's headed for an early grave
I work as hard as a man you better pay me the same

They told me I'd never make it, even if I tried
They told me schooling would advance me from the inside
But I can't get no job with or without a degree
Cause the system went and made a million of me

Well, The Man's got you exactly where he wants
And he'll crush you down if you don't play along
You give up everything you are for your career
Then He burns in a weekend what you make in a year

I don't want much in life, except some respect
I've been giving so long, and I ain't gotten back yet
They say that a working man's got dignity
But I know there ain't no flip side for femininity
I cross my T's and I dot my I's
I always come clean when I tell a lie
So a good woman's headed for an early grave
I work as hard as a man you better pay me the same

(Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl, hear what I said
Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl
Work, work it girl, til you are dead)

Well, I wanna say that I am able
To put food in my refrigerator
So I work overtime just to pay the debt
For a life I ain't even got yet

I don't want much in life, except some respect
I've been giving so long, and I ain't gotten back yet
They say that a working man's got dignity
But I know there ain't no flip side or equality
Cause I've been passed up, and I've been passed around
But I will fight til I'm six feet in the ground
You put your hands on me, I'll send you to your grave
I work as hard as a man you better pay me the same
