Work That

Dm F Gm Am


[Chorus]
Dm              F
Work your thing out
Gm
Work your thing out
Dm              F
Work your thing out
Gm
Work your thing out


[Verse 1]
                Dm                    F
There's so many girls I hear you been running
                   Gm                        Am
From the beautiful queen that you could be becoming
                   Dm                     F
You can look at my palm and see the storm coming
                    Gm
Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it

(I don't want the drama, get lost)
                        Dm                 F
Just because the length of your hair ain't long
                    Gm                     Am
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
                     Dm                          F
Wanna hold your head high 'cause you're a pretty woman
                Gm                 Am
Get your runway stride on and keep going

Girl, live your life


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm        F
I just wanna be myself (Yeah yeah)
      Gm              Am
Don't sweat, girl, be yourself
                  Dm
Follow me, follow me, follow me
F
Girl, be yourself
      Gm          Am
That's why I be myself

And I grew to love it


[Chorus]
Dm
Work your thing out
             F
(Let 'em get mad, they gonna hate anyway)
Gm
Work your thing out
               Am
(Don't you get that?)
Dm
Work your thing out
                                              F
(Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan)
Gm
Work your thing out

(They'll never be happy
               Am
'Cause they're not happy with themselves)


[Post-Chorus]
Dm   F                   Gm
Yeah yeah, work what you got
             Am
I'm talking 'bout things that I know

             Am
Don't worry 'bout who's saying what
              Dm  F                  Gm
It's gonna be fiiiine, work what you got
 Am
Work what you got


[Verse 2]
        Dm                        F
Feelin' great because the light's on me
                Gm                   Am
Celebrating the things that everyone told me
                       Dm                    F
Would never happen but God has put His hands on me
                 Gm                      Am
And ain't a man alive could ever take it from me
                    Dm                F
Working with what I got, I gotta keep on (Keep on)
                 Gm                Am
Taking care of myself I wanna live long (Live long)
             Dm                   F
Ain't never ashamed what life did to me
                 Gm                        Am
Wasn't afraid to change 'cause it was good for me

I wanna...


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm        F
I just wanna be myself (I just wanna be)
      Gm              Am
Don't sweat, girl, be yourself (Don't sweat, girl)
                  Dm
Follow me, follow me, follow me
F
Girl, be yourself
       Gm         Am
That's why I be myself

And I grew to love it
