Mary J Blige - Work That Lyrics






Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out
Work your thing out

Theres so many-a 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 home
And keep going
Girl live ya life

I just wanna be myself
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
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 aint a man alive could ever take it from me
Working with what I got I gotta keep on
Taking care of myself I wanna live long
Aint 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
Don't sweat girl be yourself
Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Girl be yourself
That's why I be myself
And I'm gonna love it

Let em get mad
They gonna hate anyway
Don't you get that?
Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan
They'll never be happy
Cause they're not happy with themselves

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
Work what you got

Work that
Work that
Work that
Girl don't hold back
You just be yourself [3x]

Na na work what you got
I'm talking bout things that I know
Na na work what you got
It's okay show yourself some love
Na na work what you got
Don't worry bout who's saying what
It's gonna be fine
Work what you got

Work that
Work that
Work that
Girl don't hold back
You just be yourself

Work that thing out
Work that thing out
Work what you got

  30. C.... P....

    Come on that beat hits right straight in your mouth 👄

  31. P.... A....

    Damn I'm late to the party just heard this song on the Tom Joyner show.

  32. T.... M....

    I love Mary J 's song (work that)... So many people today hate women black women.. even our black men hate us. so she is so right don't worry about what they got to say. God (Jehovah is the one who decides what we should look like and we must work out what is right so that we can show our creator and our Lord Jesus Christ that we appreciate them and what they have done for us. forget there negative ways for that is what will end up destroying them. Don't mean to be too preachy. but i hate racism and envious ways. its hard to be a black woman in this world that we live in for they do not see as a woman they see us as not even human. o can really relate to this song that Mary wrote. if we as humans would stop being stupid we could all be of great importance.. but they are too busy pleasing the Devil (who is going to die very soon) Rev 9:12.

    T.... M....

    as far as reading the palms i cant relate to that do not believe that other than that this song is good to me.

  33. L.... M....
