Workin' (Timbaland Remix) Text

[Intro: Corey Hawkins]
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
Uh-huh, mhm
Uh-huh

[Verse 1: Corey Hawkins]
I've been workin', and workin', and workin' (Uh-huh)
'Til the sun go down ('Til the sun go down)
See my baby there standin' on the corner (Uh-huh)
And she lookin' so fine (Lookin' so fine)
Lord, if I ever get my hands on a dollar (Uh-huh)
I bet I'd blow her mind (Bet I'd blow her mind)
'Til then I'll just keep on workin' (Uh-huh)
'Cause I ain't got time ('Cause I ain't got time)

[Chorus: Corey Hawkins]
Mm, workin', workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
I'm workin', workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
I'm workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
Lord, I'm workin', workin' (Uh-huh)

[Verse 2: Black Thought]
Look, I come from the dirt
Work, work hard 'til it work (Uh-huh)
The sins of the father become problems of a toddler, we Sons of Bazerk, so (Uh-huh)
We just grind, "He just fine," oh
"We outside, he not tired, yo" (Uh-huh)
PSI is 3X high, if he just die, it might catch mе next time, woah (Uh-huh)
I'm a nation with no friends
I burn limitation at both еnds (Uh-huh)
I'm the info smoke sends
The window the kinfolk broke in (Uh-huh)
Lots of cotton went to pocket lint
Lots of consequence and documents (Uh-huh)
Lots have gotten rich at my expense, I found a new argument for our defense (Uh-huh)
I was self made 'til the help came
Did it myself, no one else came (Uh-huh)
When I was in the rain on the L train
Generational wealth came with my plan (Uh-huh)
Bein' a man, which I am
The only thing that show you how rich I am is how I stand (Uh-huh)
The ground on which I stand
And I don't gotta think about if I can, b**ch I can (Uh-huh)
Into the thick I ran
I told y'all, if I ever get my hands (Uh-huh)
On my own property, I'ma sit right here
I'll be damned, anybody ever get my land (Uh-huh)
I'ma die first, for all that it's worth
Cause and effect, I'm involved and alert (Uh-huh)
Feels like I'm in charge of the Earth
Work, work hard 'til it work, come on (Uh-huh)

[Chorus: Corey Hawkins]
Mm, workin', workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
I'm workin', workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
I'm workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
Lord, I'm workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
Workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
I'm workin', workin', workin' (Uh-huh)
I'm workin', workin'(Uh-huh)
Lord, I'm workin', workin' (Uh-huh)

The song "Workin' (Timbaland Remix)" by Corey Hawkins, featuring a verse from Black Thought, is an amthem of perseverance, determination, and the relentless pursuit of success against all odds. The track delves into the themes of hard work, ambition, and the struggle to achieve one's dreams despite challenging circumstances. Corey Hawkins opens the song with a vivid depiction of his relentless wirk ethic: "I've been workin', and workin', and workin' / 'Til the sun go down." This line sets the tone, illustrating a relentless grind that continues tirelessly until nightfall. The mention of his partner waiting and the desire to impress her if he ever had financial success ("Lord, if I ever get my hands on a dollar / I bet I'd blow her mind") underscores his motivation to work hard — not just for personal gain but also to provide for his loved ones. Black Thought's verse adds depth to the narrative, introducing a more profound reflection on generational struggle and self-reliance. He raps about coming from humble beginnings ("I come from the dirt") and the necessity to work hard to break free from cycles of poverty and social constraints. The lyrics "Generational wealth came with my plan" speak to the aspiration of altering one's destiny through sheer will and effort, moving beyond the limitations set by one's initial circumstances. Throughout the song, the chorus "I'm workin', workin', workin'" acts as a mantra, reinforcing the central theme of constant labor and the pursuit of a better life. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the ongoing nature of this struggle — a relentless journey rather than a destination. In summary, "Workin' (Timbaland Remix)" by Corey Hawkins, featuring Black Thought, is a powerful narrative of struggle, resilience, and the human spirit's indefatigable nature. It's a homage to the unyielding effort individuals put into creating a better future for themselves and those they care about.
