Work That - Mary J. Blige

Work your thing out

Work your thing out

Work your thing out

Work your thing out

There’s so many girls I hear you been running

From the beautiful queen that you could be becoming

You can look at my palm and see the storm coming

Read the book of my life and see I’ve overcome it

Just because the length of your hair ain’t long

And they often criticize you for your skin tone

Wanna hold your head high 'cause you’re a pretty woman

Get your runway stride on and keep going

Girl, live your life

I just wanna be myself (Yeah yeah)

Don’t sweat, girl, be yourself

Follow me, follow me, follow me

Girl, be yourself

That’s why I be myself

And I grew to love it

Work your thing out

(Let 'em get mad, they gonna hate anyway)

Work your thing out

(Don't you get that?)

Work your thing out

(Doesn't matter if you’re going on with their plan)

Work your thing out

(They'll never be happy

'Cause they’re not happy with themselves)

Yeah yeah, work what you got

I’m talking 'bout things that I know

Yeah yeah, work what you got

It’s okay, show yourself some love

Yeah yeah, work what you got

Don’t worry 'bout who’s saying what

It’s gonna be fine, work what you got

Work what you got

Feelin' great because the light’s on me

Celebrating the things that everyone told me

Would never happen but God has put His hands on me

And ain’t a man alive could ever take it from me

Working with what I got, I gotta keep on (Keep on)

Taking care of myself I wanna live long (Live long)

Ain’t never ashamed what life did to me

Wasn’t afraid to change 'cause it was good for me

I wanna…

I just wanna be myself (I just wanna be)

Don’t sweat, girl, be yourself (Don't sweat, girl)

Follow me, follow me, follow me

Girl, be yourself

That’s why I be myself

And I grew to love it

Work your thing out

(Let 'em get mad, they gonna hate anyway)

Work your thing out

(Don't you get that?)

Work your thing out

(Doesn't matter if you’re going on with their plan)

Work your thing out

(They'll never be happy

'Cause they’re not happy with themselves)

Yeah yeah, work what you got

I’m talking 'bout things that I know

Yeah yeah, work what you got

It’s okay, show yourself some love

Yeah yeah, work what you got

Don’t worry 'bout who’s saying what

It’s gonna be fine, work what you got

Work what you got

Work that, work that, work that

Girl, don’t hold back, you just be yourself

You just work that, work that, work that

Girl, don’t hold back, you just be yourself

Work that, work that, work that

Girl, don’t hold back, you just be yourself

(Work that, work that, don’t hold back)

Work that, work that, work that

Girl, don’t hold back, you just be yourself

Work your thing out (Work that job, girl)

Work your thing out (Work, work your job)

Yeah yeah, work what you got

I’m talking 'bout things that I know

Yeah yeah, work what you got

It’s okay, show yourself some love

Yeah yeah, work what you got

Don’t worry 'bout who’s saying what

It’s gonna be fine, work what you got

Work what you got

Work that, work that, work that

Girl, don’t hold back, you just be yourself

(Work it out, work it out, baby)

Work that, work that, work that

Girl, don’t hold back, you just be yourself

Work that, work that, work that

Girl, don’t hold back, you just be yourself

(Work that, work that, don’t hold back)

Work that thing out

Work that thing out

Work what you got
