I work

I work.. baby!^✦

I work

I work.. baby!^✦

[Verse 2: Big Daddy Kane]

Some of you ladies^✦ make moves^✦ too quick

And settle down, without havin^✦ a large pick

Rushed into^✦ becoming some poohbutt's wife

And no longer^✦ do you enjoy,^✦ the married life

Well, I let you know this is a brand new year

So never^✦ fear, the Big Daddy^✦ is here

To do things in places^✦ your husband^✦ wouldn't

And do certain^✦ things he probably just couldn't

Let me sneak into^✦ your life, like a thief in the night

Lick your body^✦ all over^✦ and squeeze you real tight

Nibble all over^✦ your ear and give your back a massage

You'll say, "Oooh I like it," just like DeBarge (how large)

Smooth and mild I'll make you smile, honey^✦ child

Then hit the lights and get buckwild

And when I turn her back on, you'll have to say

Like Calgon,^✦ please take me away^✦

So when your main course is doin nothin^✦ for ya

Just look at me as a tasty^✦ side order^✦

That came into^✦ your life and brought a thrill

Cause any^✦ husband^✦ won't, I'm a neighbor who will, get the job done..

[Hook]

I work

I work.. baby!^✦

I work

I work.. baby!^✦

T.R., take it to the bridge, uhh!

[Verse 3: Big Daddy Kane]

Here's^✦ a perfect description of me

Six foot one, and dark and lovely^✦

And if they're sayin black is beautiful, it's true not phony^✦

I'm Browner than Bobby^✦ so won't you be my Tenderoni

And get a whiff of this nymphomaniac

An up-to-date mack that's ready^✦ to attack^✦

And prove that I'm a pro and far from a rookie

Ain't no hair on my chest, but I'm one tough cookie

Whoever said you had to be one-hundred percent

Masculine in order^✦ to be in?

I'd rather^✦ be more subtle and smooth and SOOTH

Girl, you won't disapprove

And I promise that you'll never^✦ forget^✦

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, now what's a title to fit me?

A champ like Tyson,^✦ a Captain^✦ like Kirk, no

Employee of the Month, cause yo, I do work

The K-A-N-E is on the J-O-B

An expert, cause I get it D-O-N-E

So lights, camera, action^✦ - all hail the one!

That gets the job done

[Hook]

I work

I work.. baby!^✦

I work

I work.. baby!^✦

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Big Daddy Kane utilizes his signature rhythmic mastery and effortless pocket-locking flow to transform a standard 'lover-man' trope into a masterclass of cadence, though the lyrical wordplay remains focused on direct performance rather than dense metaphor.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"just like DeBarge (how large)"

① A reference to the musical group DeBarge and their hit song 'I Like It', aligning with the mood of the verse.② A homophonic play on the artist name 'DeBarge' and the slang term 'how large', signaling approval or satisfaction with the intimacy provided.

Exceptional rhythmic precision and flow stability

Confident, charismatic vocal presence that elevates simple prose

Effective use of internal rhyming to propel the listener through the verse

Seamless integration of rhythmic variations

Limited metaphorical density

Lack of complex linguistic layered meaning

Reliance on somewhat dated romantic tropes characteristic of the late 80s R&B/Rap crossover era
