[Intro]
Baby put the work in like a champion
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way
Baby put the work in like a champion
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way
Baby put the work in like a champion
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way
Baby put the work in like a champion
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way
Hands way up

[Refrain]
It's just the way the game is played
It's best if you just wait your turn

[Verse 1]
I pitch with a grenade
Swing away if you're feeling brave
There's so much power in my name
If you pop off and you say it
Stadium gon' do the wave
I'm such a fucking lady
You don't have to be so afraid
'Cause I got room up on my team
You can play but hold up

[Refrain]
It's just the way the game is played
It's best if you just wait your turn

[Chorus]
It's getting crowded over here
But babe, the wait is over
Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win
The wait is over
It's getting crowded over here
But babe, the wait is over, over

[Refrain]
It's just the way the game is played
It's best if you just wait your turn

[Bridge]
Baby put the work in like a champion
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way up
Baby put the work in like a champion
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way up
The wait is over, the wait is over
The wait is over, the wait is over
Just wait your turn
The wait is over, the wait is over
The wait is over, the wait is over
Just wait your turn

[Verse 2]
So you don't wanna wait?
I hate to hear that, such a shame
'Cause if you play it sideways, ain't no timeout in my game
They already underway
I know you want to win
And you wish I would let you in
Get in line over here
You can play but hold up

[Refrain]
It's just the way the game is played
It's best if you just wait your turn

[Chorus]
It's getting crowded over here
But babe, the wait is over
Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win
The wait is over
It's getting crowded over here
But babe, the wait is over
Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win

[Refrain]
It's just the way the game is played
It's best if you just wait your turn

[Verse 3]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, put the work
Baby put the work in like a champion
But the crowd is screaming with their hands way up
Baby got the whole world standing up
Damn I'm glad I picked ya, took a chance on love

[Chorus]
It's getting crowded over here
But babe, the wait is over
Sometimes it takes a thousand tries to win
The wait is over
It's getting crowded over here
But babe, the wait is over, over

A true pop icon, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty is a singer, actress, and businesswoman from Saint Michael, Barbados. She was first discovered by American record producer Evan Rogers in 2003 and later signed a contract to Def Jam Recordings in 2004, after auditioning for its then-president, JAY-Z.

The following year, in 2005, she released her debut album Music of the Sun and its follow-up, A Girl Like Me, in 2006. Both albums did well commercially, but it wasn’t until the release of her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, in 2007 that poised Rihanna as an international pop star. It became her first album to receive a Grammy nomination (seven to be exact) and features one of her biggest hits, “Umbrella.”

Moving onto 2009, Rihanna released her fourth studio album, Rated R. It featured a darker and more atmospheric tone from her previous albums. She released her fifth studio album, Loud, the next year in 2010. It marked her return to making dance-pop records. That summer, she featured on Eminem’s smash hit, “Love the Way You Lie” and is one of her most popular features of all time.
