About This Track

'Work Work' is the lead single from clipping.'s album CLPPNG, built on the tension between survival hustle and the mythology that surrounds it. Daveed Diggs and Cocc Pistol Cree trade verses over a track that treats the drug economy as both literal livelihood and cultural performance, the chorus collapsing the two: "Get that work, make that work work" becomes a mantra that could apply to any precarious labour, dignified or otherwise. Diggs moves between deadpan observation and sharp social detail, naming the small economies of the street while keeping his tone level. Cocc Pistol Cree counters with swagger and specificity, her verses a catalogue of material acquisition and the refusal to be caught repeating herself. The song doesn't moralise or glamorise; it simply documents the logic of a world where you get it how you live, or live until you get it.

"Work Work" is a track by clipping., from the album CLPPNG, released 10th June 2014. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about clipping..

Lyrics

Work Work

[Verse 1: Daveed Diggs]

Holler out your city if you ride for it

Let 'em know why you'd die for it

Same reason all these riders get high, so it's—

All medicinal—now what you wan' buy, homie?

Bye, bitch (Bye, bitch), mob shit (Mob shit)

Boss talk (Boss talk), game rich (Game rich)

Name game (Name game), gang signs (Gang signs)

Work on the phone—call it "baseline"

Yup, line dance like a hoedown

Pimps up, daytime, whole block a ghost town

Ghost ride, Ghostface, G's get ghost in a moment

Pour a little for the ghost of the dead homie

Deadpan voice singing Tin Pan Alley songs

Panhandling in front of tourists with they cameraphones

Get it how you live

Or live 'til you get it—get it in

[Chorus: Daveed Diggs and Cocc Pistol Cree]

When the stash low and it's no cash (Get it in)

And you riding, no L's, no tags (Get it in)

And she lookin' like, "You ain't gon' smash" (Get it in)

But she got her legs up on the dash

Show these haters how to— (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Cocc Pistol, ugh)

[Verse 2: Cocc Pistol Cree]

See, I get it, I whip it, I flip it, I pocket the profit (Uh-huh)

Don't know when to stop it; they calling me "Griselda, the Harlot"

My Blahniks erotic, I can't walk, the heel is enormous

The arm in the armrest (Click-clack), these dames is dormant, ugh

I came up from boosting my garments

Switching my handbags how I switch up my polish

(Never catch me in the same blouse) Unless I'm running to Target

(Never catch me in a large crowd) 'Less I'm the life of the party, ugh

I been hitting from September to August

Ahead of my time, like lil' old ladies in bonnets

All I need is a sickle—I'ma reap me a harvest

The hardest thing I had to do was to make the world promise, ugh

I been counting money since elementary

It's why these broke boys ain't getting into me

And when the stash low and it ain't no cashflow—

Shit, I go to work—move it by the boatload

[Chorus: Daveed Diggs]

When the stash low and it's no cash (Get it in)

And you riding, no L's, no tags (Get it in)

And she looking like, "You ain't gon' smash" (Get it in)

But she got her legs up on the dash

Show these haters how to— (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work—

[Verse 3: Daveed Diggs]

Stop! Red lights in the distance (*Woop-woop!*)

You never been to that district they reference

Trunk full of hashish and mesc'line

Your mind is a mess, and this bitch is undressing you

(A.) Mash on the throttle like a G

Put a bottle to your teeth, say "Fuck it"—you a free man

(B.) Pull over to the side of the street (*Woop!*)

Keep your hand on the shotty sitting up under the seat, or—

(C.) Let the cop pull you over, say something slick

On some JAY-Z, "99 Problems"-type shit

(D.) All of the above in your head

But it really doesn't matter, 'cause you already dead

No obituaries, for the most part

Nobody cares—you are not even a co-star

Just a extra; they read about it as a number—

Names got money in they wallet, ho!

[Chorus: Daveed Diggs]

When the stash low and it's no cash (Get it in)

And you riding, no L's, no tags (Get it in)

And she looking like, "You ain't gon' smash" (Get it in)

But she got her legs up on the dash

Show these haters how to— (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work (Go)

Get that work, make that work work
