Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And the moral of the story is
And the moral of the story is
Work, till your arms fall off
Till your abs get hard
And your bones all soft, just
(And the moral of the story is)
Work till your hands go numb
And they cramp, and the fans in the stands go star high
(And the moral of the story is)
[Verse 2]
I write till my fingers look like a bouquet of roses
You gotta bring yourself your flowers now in showbiz
Focus, it's quiet coyote, come on, let's go, kids
Everybody get together with a study buddy
Gonna talk about the fuck that I don't give
Because it's so big
And explosive
But a lot of people don't live
They don't ever get a motive
If you got a goal, you gotta hold on to what hope is
If I didn't have it, I would ask you where the rope is
[Verse 3]
Work is my church and so the studio's the closest
I spit it sick until my cootie flow's the grossest
Don't be so pissed, just be focused on your own shit
'Cause we supercalifornialistic sexy and we knows it
You're not my business
Go for number one, not a top five finish
You can have a chicken pot pie
But I'm thinking I'm gonna have another can of Popeye's spinach
I'm a Rottweiler, pop my collar when I pop my fur
You're on my nerves but mark my words
Gonna put a leg up and then mark my turf
[Verse 4]
Work (Work, work, work)
(Work, work, work, work)
And the moral of the story is
Work (Work, work, work)
(Work, work, work, work)
And the moral of the story is
Work till your arms fall off
Till your abs get hard
And your bones all soft, just
And the moral of the story is
Work till your hands go numb
And they cramp, and the fans in the stands go dumb
(And the moral of the story is)
[Verse 5]
Work until I'm black and yellow, black and yellow, worker bee
I just work until I'm black and blue and burgundy
Burgundy?
Work until I earn that rich mahogany
Honestly, can't you tell I'm working?
Bitch, don't bother me
Show some modesty if you're watching me
A bitch is anybody in my way, it's not misogyny
But if you're blocking me, I will soon defeat you
I will build a bridge above you or I'll tunnel underneath you
I will eat you and excrete you, and I'll feed you to the flowers
If I need to, I'll go through you and absorb your fucking powers
I put in hour after hour, let's be crystal clear
I'm gonna get there if it takes a day, or fifty years
I'll fingerbang my fears, I'll fucking punch a dragon
Even with the Himalayas in my way, it's gonna happen
'Cause waiting doesn't work and praying may not come through
And hoping doesn't work, so I will be the one to
[Verse 6]
Work (Work, work, work)
Work (Work, work, work)
And the moral of the story is
Work (Work, work, work)
(Work, work, work, work)
And the moral of the story is
Work till your arms fall off
Till your abs get hard
And your bones all soft, just
(And the moral of the story is)
Work till your hands go numb
And they cramp, and the fans in the stands go dumb
(And the moral of the story is)
[Verse 7]
And maybe someday, you might see me in a glossy photo
No weirdo's rocked the bells as hard as me since Quasimodo
And maybe someday, you might see me in a glossy photo
No weirdo's rocked the bells as hard as me since Quasimodo
No weirdo's rocked the bells as hard as me since Quasimodo
