whatcha gonna do when [bad word] for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when [bad word] 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 [bad word] for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when [bad word] for you
God I can't stand life withoutcha

Now, me and baby got this situation
See brotha got [bad word] 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 [bad word] for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when [bad word] 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...
