Gang Starr - Work chords
Start Jamming...
[D] Are you working?
[C] What kind of work do you do?
I [Am] work for the police.
Oh.
[C]
[Am] Oh, [E] boy, [C] what is it you want to do when you grow up?
Hey, yo, I'm gonna be a tit [Am] out.
That's how my eyes [C] can see.
Victory is mine.
Yeah, surprisingly.
I've been laying, [Am] waiting for your next mistake.
I put in work and watch my [Em] status escalate.
Now I'm gonna start collecting [Am] props, connecting plots, [C] networking like a conference.
Cause the nonsense is yet to stop.
Shake, shake me down.
Haters wanna take me down, break me down.
I'm gonna clap, holding her with a sound.
Yo, I spoke it out.
I took your weak dream and choked it out.
Your bitch don't really got no ass.
She just spoke it out on the D-Lo.
I'm saying you versus me, yo.
We can do this shit right here.
In front of your people see time [Am] is money, kid.
And BS walks.
And to me, it's funny, kid, when you meatheads talk.
I see feds talk.
They wanna dig [Em] up the dirt, son.
Is it me they haunt?
Cause I be putting in work, son.
I'm gonna be a tit [Am] out.
That's how my eyes can see.
[C] Victory is mine.
Yeah, surprisingly.
I be laying, [Am] waiting for your next [E] mistake.
I put in work and watch my status escalate.
Your [C] cornwalls get stonewalled.
Blackwalled.
I own y'all.
[Bb] The veteran, running my [Em] plan.
I'm the better man, crazy [Am] raw.
Doing my job like the [E] mob.
Blazing y'all and disappearing in the [Em] fog or a mist.
[Am] And six can't resist [B] what I kick.
[E] They be begging for [C] attention on some more of the Dills, Nick.
Word up, [Am] baby.
Someone may have to get hurt up, [C] baby.
Shit is mad shady, but I got to get the gravy.
[Am] Platinum respect like the force of a tech.
Keep you here in the deck.
[C] Feel the heat in your check.
[Am] Banging the thoughts with the hot onslaught.
I kick a shot on the spot [C] for going where he should not.
[Am] Viciously, I make history instantly.
[C] Those other lame ass losers, ass niggas, they can't fuck with me.
I'm doing [Am] my thing now.
It's a lamp later on.
[F] Hate this shit with some [Em] fly gators on.
But now I'm [Am] grimy as they get mud on my pants and shirt.
I bet you niggas out here know [B] I be putting in work.
I'm gonna [C] be a tit [Am] out.
That's how my eyes can see.
Victory [C] is mine.
Yeah, surprisingly.
I've been [Am] laying, waiting for your next mistake.
[E] I put in work, and watch [G] my status escalate.
[Am] [Bm] [C]
