whatcha gonna do when they come for you
work ain´t honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
gave me the life that I came to live

Do I really,
want my baby
Brother tell me what to do
I know you got to get your hustle on
So I pray
I understand the game, sometimes
And I love you strong, but,

what you gonna do when they come for you
work ain´t honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
God I can´t stand life withoutcha

Now, me and baby got this situation
See brotha got this complex occupation
And it ain´t that he don´t have education
Cause I was right there at his graduation

Now, I ain´t sayin´ that this life don´t work
But it´s me and baby that he hurts
Cause I tell him right
He thinks I´m wrong
But I love him strong

He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me
But the seed had grown
I can´t make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun
I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Or could this be make believe

whatcha gonna do when they come for you
work ain´t honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
gave me the life that I came to live

Don´t I know there´s confusion
God´s gonna see us through
Peace out to revolution
But we paid though

Don´t you worry, I know there´s confusion
The work ain´t honest but it pays the bills
Don´t you worry...
Gave me the life that I came to live
Don´t you worry...
The work ain´t honest but it pays the bills
Don´t you worry...
