Work Lyrics – Utkarsh Ambudkar & Manny Magnus
(record player clicking)
There comes a time in every man’s life
When he has work to do
Yup, world’s best, work baby, work baby, work
Okay, got a lot to say
I stay up and I write from the night to day
Think it’s about time for me to take the stag
‘Cause there’s a time to work and a time to play
Okay, got a lot to say
I stay up and I write from the night to day
Think it’s about time for me to take the stage
‘Cause there’s a time to work and a time to play
World’s best, yeah, yeah, yeah
World’s best MCs
World’s best, yeah, yeah, yeah
World’s best MCs
The Daddy Mac’ll make ya keen to put the pen to paper
Oh, what’s a daddymackelmakeya
Really son? I’ll tell ya later
Anyway, the major gift I’ll give you if you’re listening
Uh huh? Is if you want to
Learn this rhythm, first you must have discipline
Discipline, yeah I’m it, but diligent
Filling in the minutes with the rhythms I be digging in
And you see the building on the throne that I’m sitting in
That’s my microphone, say hello to my little friend
Chickety check, giggity yow
One, two, what is this?
Wanna be the biggity best?
You betta mind your business
Betta find the fitness
‘Cause your mind’s limitless
Let the lines be guided, and designed to witness
Worldwide, world’s best
Came to spit the slickness
You’re the litmus
Can’t be listless
‘Cause the only mission force is to leave them senseless
Feels the stillness, and stay relentless
When the pirates multiply, the birds are a sum
When the pirate’s parrot flies away, the pirate equals one
Take the stage, ’cause there’s a time to work
And a time to play
Okay, got a lot to say
I stay up and I write from the night to day
Think it’s about time for me to take the stage
‘Cause there’s a time to work and a time to play
World’s best, yeah, yeah, yeah
World’s best MCs
World’s best, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, world’s best MCs
World’s best, yeah, yeah, yeah
World’s best MCs
You wanna improve, then you got to infuse
Intuition with the rhythm, will do words like in Sue’s
Find the fire deep inside of you and feed it every day
You wanna be the greatest, hard work is the only way
You got to eat and sleep and drink and dream your passion
Got to put a beat for everything
That’s how you make it happen
Got to have a new identity
You got to be yourself
I wanna be the best
You can’t be that by being someone else
Okay, I get it, pop
I keep at it and never stop
I’ll never quit
I’m gonna be disciplined till I hit the top
Just remember to be true to you
No, after this is through, I’ll be something brand new
And if you could me a hand too
A few tips on how to live large, with a grand view
I guarantee that we could be an elite crew
Alright man, but we got work to do
Okay, got a lot to say
I stay up and I write from the night to day
Think it’s about time for me to take the stage
‘Cause there’s a time to work and a time to play
Okay, got a lot to say
I stay up and I write from the night to day
Think it’s about time for me to take the stage
‘Cause there’s a time to work and a time to play
Here we go
It’s time to grab the mic and let ’em know
No matter where we go
You know that we’re unstoppable
World’s best, yeah, yeah, yeah
World’s best MCs
World’s best, yeah, yeah, yeah
World’s best MCs
(screaming)
Paul, Pablo?
