Work Lyrics

Walk a mile in these Louboutins
But they don't wear these shits where I'm from
I'm not hating, I'm just telling you
I'm tryna let you know what the fuck that I've been through

[VERSE 1:]
Two feet in a red dirt, school skirt
Sugar cane,...

    The song is a translation of the phrase "i need some hard shit to say in this song so all you poor as lower class shitheads will believe that we have something in common and give me your money so i can further increase what seperates me from you."

    This song is about iggys life as a child and how her parents weren't supporting and how she had to do lots of hard jobs to move to Miami when she was only 16. She had no money so she slept on the floor trying to make it to her dream of becoming a rapper.

    This song is about Iggy's way to fame. She had to work hard for everything she got. She worked several jobs for years to buy the plane ticket from Australia to Miami. She was sixteen when she moved and she went alone. Also there she had to keep workin; recordng songs until four in the morning etc.

    Iggy saved up money by working several jobs to "visit" America, but she ended up staying there with "no money, no family, 16 in the middle of Miami". She was 16 when she started living in Miami by herself to follow her rap career. The whole song is about her working her hardest to follow her dream, to get where she is now.

    I think it's about how hard her life was in the past. "I'm trying to let you know what the fuck I've been through."


    "People got a lot say but don't know shit from where I was made or how many floors that I had to scrub just to make it past where I am from."

    All the shit she went through as as child.

    The meaning of the song "Work" is that she went through so many jobs and had a hard time to live to the dream that she's living today. "People got a lot say but don't know shit from where I was made or how many floors that I had to scrub just to make it past where I am from."
    "Cause every night I'm a do it like it's my last
    This dream is all that I need
    Cause it's all that I ever had"

    It's about the struggle that she went through to live the dream that she's always had. And she made it to that dream.
