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...
