Its name? ‘Work.’
Its location? Here.
Now, as it garners mixed reviews online, the song’s writers have released its lyrics online for fans before the release of its parent album later on this week.

Pop open the lid below…
‘Work’ lyrics:
[Hook: Rihanna]
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me, haffi
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me
Do me dirt, dirt, dirt
Dirt, dirt, dirt
For some of that
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
For you I got love, love, love
Love, love, love
When I came for my
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
[Verse 1: Rihanna]
Join me I deserved it
No time to have you lurking
If I got right then you might like it
You know I dealt with you the nicest
Nobody touch me, I’m the righteous
Nobody text me in a crisis
I believed all of your dreams are fruition
You took my heart and my keys and my patience
You took my heart on my sleeve for decoration
You mistaken my love I brought for you for foundation
All that I wanted from you was to give me something that I never had
Something that you’ve never seen
Something that you’ve never been
But I wake up and everything’s wrong
Just get ready for…
[Hook: Rihanna]
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me, haffi
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me
Do me dirt, dirt, dirt
Dirt, dirt, dirt
For some of that
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
Duh, duh, duh, duh
For you I got
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah
Before the tables turned, turned turned turned
[Verse 2: Rihanna]
Beg you something please
Baby don’t you leave
Don’t leave me stuck here in the streets (no, no)
If I get another chance to
I will never, no never neglect you
I mean who am I to hold your past against you?
I just hope that it gets to you
I hope that you see this through
I hope that you see this true
What can I say?
Please recognize I’m trying baby
I been…
[Hook: Rihanna]
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me, haffi
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me
Do me dirt, dirt, dirt
Dirt, dirt, dirt
For some of that
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
For you I got love, love, love
Love, love, love
When I came for my
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
[Verse 3: Drake]
Yeah, okay
You need to get done, done, done, done
That’ll work, come over
We just need to slow the motion
Don’t give that away to no one
Long distance, I need you
When I see potential I just gotta see it through
If you had a twin I would still choose you
I don’t wanna rush into it, if it’s too soon
But I know you need to get done, done, done, done
If you come over
Sorry if I’m way less friendly
I got niggas tryna end me
Oh, yeah, I spilled all my emotions tonight, I’m sorry
Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
How many more shots until you’re rolling?
We just need a face to face
You could pick the time and the place
You spent some time away
Now you need to forward and give me all the…
[Hook: Rihanna & Drake]
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me, haffi
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
You see me
Do me dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
Dirt, dirt, dirt
For some of that
Work, work, work, work
Work, work
For you I got love, love, love
Love, love, love
When I came for my
Turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
[Outro: Rihanna]
Mmmmm, mmmmm
Mmmmm, mmmmm
Work, work, work
Work, work, work
Mmmmm, mmmmm
After promising fans that ‘ANTI’ would stand as her most personal LP to date we look forward to hearing how ‘Work‘s tale of love after lies ties into the project’s story.
Lmao. You’re a mess for this
She would be lucky if she could open with 150 k first week in the US… ???
That much?!
Thats why ppl buys Adele’s…cause a thrash like this. ?
@Kisses Down Low… This I.N.G.R.A.T.E!!! We granted you and your hateful shadow BEY4lFESupport the “front row seats” of te ent section on ICONNA’s post to TAKE notes on how to get your fave a #1 hit before Jesus’ 2nd Coming
… “Beycuzzz” we want our black artists to succeed.
We ain’t selfish but
Look at how these morally challenged leopards repaid us! Like Kanye, we can’t take y’all nowhere… Loool
Please gather your hooked on phonics, secretarial a$$€$ down to the lower area where u belong.
lol I don’t understand this profound joy I receive from watching people seethe..
I may have a mean streak ?
Sorry, I don’t speak ratchet^
“Rihanna’s brand new single is out”- morons cheer.
?
THIS IS TRASH. HORRIBLE VOCAL. WAS SHE HIGH WHEN SHE RECORDED THIS.
“BTW, #BBHMM has passed Drunk in love and 7/11 in Spotify streams.”
Hahahahahahhahaha
When does the HIVE catch a break?
But I do not feel bad for u all.
Instead of y’all linking up to pitch tent under Rihanna’s post like a watch dog in heat…
I suggest y’all link up and think of a creative way to pitch BEY’s name on the MUSIC charts so she can be relevant again!
Stop piggy backing off RIh’s shine! Y’all grimy covetous brutes ?
The Navy are boasting about Spotify streams now? Lol..the desperation
Not dirt dirt dirt chile ?
8 ppl wrote this thrash??? ???
5…the other 3 were drug pushers. K bye! ?
To undermine a music style enjoyed by a group of people is RACIST!
Not every song needs to have lyrics white people can deconstruct, analyse, compare and contrast over a glass of red wine.
This isn’t about content. This is about attitude and dance from a Caribbean girl!
So yes… 8 Writers.. AND???!
Darling. This is a poorly written song so this isn’t about genre or culture. It’s about talent and skill and whoever wrote this didn’t showcase any of theirs with this song.
You don’t understand sis…
But this music is a Caribbean thing. You can appreciate it or leave it alone. Don’t undermine it just because you’re ignorant and don’t understand the style
Girl. Ok
Ya’ll are doing too much with all these Rihanna posts
How many people wrote “RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS) again?
Oh.
I thought so.
*Sips Mascato*
Ritardna has only 7 Grammys. So, take a seat, b*tch! ✍?
??????
that’s a shock, i thought the lyrics would look more like this “hjslhguhsuobvajwguhgiasnbsaihgioshglsnboshgihgwhagi”
Nah that would be “7/11” verbatim …. Lmhjnvfvnmbz Lmaooo as seen below, the lyrical genius…

I can only listen to Work when I’m drunk tbh, can’t do it when I’m sober ???
@charlieyonce. B..!..+…€..H
Banish that lie from your C**-CRUSTED lips!! U LISTEN to Rihanna’s music DRUNK because otherwise YOU’D be on s****** watch!! Y’all need exclusive therapy! Lol
My bish has been slaying the CHARTS 8 years straight!!! While the last hit your face saw was EIGHT ((((8))))) Years AGO! You INGRATE!!!
Please attempt to RESCUE that lost PRIDE in the twilight zone.
Pitching tent HERE will not help “BYE” I mean BEY on the charts!
Y’all worried about Rih! She’s good over here baby!! AUTHENTIC International stats declared!! Y’all cant sit with us!!!
PLEASE regroup and come again!!!
*fave
She is from the islands and is bringing the island sound back, This song has me mesmerized, so obsessed with it. Love it
Yassss ha Ray of light moment is upon us!!!!!
Light from your smelly depleted a*******??? Yeah.. ☺️
The island must be filled with trash because that’s all this sh1t is giving me.
How is this bringing island sound back when ppl still doing reggae
That’s like when canned tuna said Adele brought back R&B
S***** song by a s***** overrated artis in this era!
??
Gold status era once again ???
http://giphy.com/gifs/beef-diaries-grape-PMs2ptCAjo7Je
Rihanna better WORK that Grammy stage like the rent is due and Pookie needs bail, cause this song is a free download and DELETE at best lol
8 ppl…why even bother to write something basic like this??
How many People Wrote ” BDay ” ? ?? let’s not today girls.
HMMM, DRUNK IN LOVE WAS WRITTEN BY 10 FREAKING PEOPLE!
And it was way better than this repetitive garbage. U can’t even understand wth this goat is even saying smh
10 people? Pleaseeeeee! don’t even try to disregard it. You can’t even criticize Rihanna when it comes to writing if you are a fan of Beyonce. kiii
Lol the BEY fans are such a kiiiiii…. Omg
U mad because the charts gave blondie-knowles the cold shoulder.
No one is checking for her MUSIC! Just deal!
To come for rihanna when “DIL” and “Run the world” had a million writers “righting” blondies’ grammatical “wrongs”. I can’t…
Get this witch an education and some creative thinking so she can save what is left of her failing attempts to validate her unimpressive music catalogue. For eg. Those bought for Grammies he received when her dad was on the GRAMMY committee.
This witch is just about done! Rihanna is just getting started! So much power in her name! lol
Once upon a time it was Ciara’s fans who were the laugh of the internet diaspora. Now I see the HIVE is fast approaching to snatch this atrocious title.
You sound stupid because none of the songs Rihanna has released this era have out charted Drunk in love. Rihanna is going down before she even reaches 30.
Lmao delusion at its finest. Your fave waited 4 yrs and released 3 prior singles and made u unlock 8 rooms before she gave u this s***** repetitive 1st fourth single. Bey made history and has your fave going the surprise route. The struggle for the navy is too real lmao.
Partynextdoor is one of the co-writers of this song. No wonder it’s trash.
Funny thing, Drunk in love has got 8 writers too;
‘
Knowles, Noel Fisher, Shawn Carter, Andre Eric Proctor, Rasool Diaz, Boots, Brian Soko, Timothy Mosley, Jerome HarmonLike she didn’t have a million man army of writers auditioning for her flop singles!! The excuses, the reach!! Lmao this is my favourite part tho.
Please keep seething.
ANTi Takeover!!!!
8 morons for this song???? Come on… ????
WERK WERK WERK WERK WERK GOT ME LIKE
https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CZvXcA-WcAAD9Xw.mp4
Timeless music y’all ??
#1 on itunes. Why is it that only non fans are hung-up about the timeless quote
Sheer garbage… No wonder she has less than 5 Grammys. This song is a joke.
she has 7 actually.
7..after selling her p**** to jay,s bodyguards
show me pics or tape or shut up
you know a rihanna era has started when the hive make 3 posts just for the song.
5 sheeps with no vision or creativity. What a waste of time and brain cells…next?! ?
The other 3 were her janitors from Barbados.
Seethe
#hit
Nahhh, in your depleted assh0le maybe… ??
Sounds like a s***
Rihanna making ho music since ’05
BTW, #BBHMM has passed Drunk in love and 7/11 in Spotify streams.
Stop it
It’ll still debut strong as ever on the Hot 100. I don’t wanna see any haters get mad if it becomes first #1 for this era too. Lol! New music is new music. The Album is COMING!!
So it took them a whole year to come up with this trash? She has shown no growth whatsoever. She onviously realised she is not a true artist, people do not see her as quality. So she took the easy way out. It will be even more embarrassing if the song doesn’t do that well on the charts in the long run.
She should’ve released the song Kiss it better.
She should retire.. Janet or Mariah!
Vote now..
Chris Brown should beat the crap out of her to stop this goat from polliting the airwaves? Agree… ?
If this b******* can get Radio play, then Monica, k Michelle’s brandy tweet & fantasias new singles should receive airplay treatment, rihanna you may have reached #1 in over 30 countries, but a death person would know this isn’t the timeless music you speak of… See rihanna you stuck your foot in your mouth about making timeless music.. Now you probably feel pressured… I bet u next time u will keep your mouth closed after sucking Leonardo & Travis Scott’s penis… Bye Felecia????.. Beyonce hurry up and take this trash out… Its long overdue… Beyonce2016
cry all you want the song is still #1 on itunes in 40 countries
Lmao mess, this constant Rihanna shade yis a bit unprofessional. However, let these white people know the correct lyrics, where Did they get “get ready to work work work work work” from??
Again… Bye!
Girl Nicki don’t even have a chance honey… Hey dropped her ass off as soon as she could…. Iggy released one single and it slayed the whole pink print album
Garbage
I was amped… But… Whaaaat da phuuq is this?! SUCH a disappointment after all this damn time… I like most of her music so the shady… I mean navy… Can have several seats before trying it… But damn… I just expected more… Can’t even understand her and it’s like she said “you know what… I’m tired… Just put the damn album out” and they threw shyt together and BOOM… You get this
Her voice is so ugly. It would be better with another vocalist maybe. FLOP!!!
A Ciara fan can’t speak on being a vocalist or flop… wait take that back… she can speak on the latter while she’s waiting for that child support check… #20k
I still can’t at all this talk about being innovative and making “timeless music” and her stans claiming that this is her Ray of Light era only for her to bring this Loud b-side featuring the main who s***-shamed her to death after they broke up or w/e. Still it’s catchy and has a radio deal so the GP will probably eat it up.
This isn’t on Spotify right? Good luck debuting in the top 3 then unless it sells 350K+
How’s Lana #s and music doing? Has she passed the 300k mark lately?
I see Sam want to milk the hell out of this song with this endless Rihanna posts,It’s the end of the month so um not hating Sam…
Maybe i should listen to this song a couple of times,maybe it will slowly grow on me like diamonds did.
Why is majority of the Navy so MIA in this posts?
He’s holding our comments. He’s such a KIIII. He made David pretend to write this article just to make his self look less like a hater.
Somebody please post about how Billboard is saying that “Anti” will be released on Friday! Chop, chop!
Also criticized the lyrics of “We Found Love” and “Diamonds” and look what ended up happening with those songs/songwriters
Bye ??
@WINTZ
.
you fvcking delusional demon!!
.
I know its you WHUT!
.
where is your old name and your cat gravatar? ???
.
were is it biiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttchhhhhh!!!!!
@CAREER FENDER Noooo Chile…. Let’s not validate the rumours that Beyonce’s fan base is the dumbest of them all.
You basically attacked me like a raving banshee burning wild grass with it’s P***, by accusing me of identity theft on a random struggling blog.
I am thinking that u based this off the fact that whomever you are comparing me to has a name that begins with the letter “W”.
Sighs Why do they let retards use the net?
Why am I responding? … So many questions, so little time. BLOOP!!!
Pure TRASH. Sorry……NO NOT SORRY
she’s not debuting #1 on planet earth
.
she has never before and sge won’t ever!
.
just because she’s #1 doesn’t mean she’ll sell more than other songs
.
Bieber will have sales and streams
.
Adele will have airplay
.
this goat aint seeing success this era
.
#bye
do you need a violin with that meltdown? I ask cause i care.
Trash Trash Trash
Lmfao at all these mad and upset beyonce fans lmao.
She still ain’t got that voice.

Shxxxxt that’s gotta hurt some.
Hahahahaha
All 32z on fleek over here by the winning team!
Grin-galore. ?
#WORK
So nobody will admit that the song sounds like it belongs in the “Rated R” Era……. this shitt is dated as fvck and certainly NAWT timeless nor classic….
The beat is cute though!
Rihanna used to be a hit maker! What happened? Everything she released this era has been mediocre garbage. The Hive remains unbothered.
lol y’all so unbothered that the posts are blazing!!!! We love it!!!!
8 people wrote this? You could have given an Elementary school kid a homework assignment to write song lyrics, and they would have come up with something more creative.

As a caribbean it’s pretty obvious that these aren’t the real lyrics. Don’t know where tf you got these lyrics from. Lyrics are simple and relatable. I’m ready for the next single tho
‘Watch ‘n’ learn’ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ‘Work’
Nice lyrics to her music
