Lyrics

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
 Gave me the life that I came to live
 Do I really
 Want my baby
 
 Brother tell me what to do
 I say 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 without ya
 Now, me and baby got this situation
 See brother 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 it 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's 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
 But could this be make believe
 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
 Gave me the life that I came to live
 Don't worry baby, I know there's confusion
 But God's gonna see us through
 Peace out to revolution
 But we paid though
 Don't you worry
 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
 He gave me the life that I came to live
 Gave me the song that I came to give
 Pressure on
 But the seed has 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
 But could this be make believe
 ♪
 See, I've been trying to run your life, babe
 But I need you to do us right
 Cause I'm your wife
 Peace out to revolution
 I know there's no peace
 Oh we got do this thing together
 Through whatever
 Whatever
 Ever, ever
 ♪
 Cause I can't stand
 You gotta stand by your brothers
 ♪
 Through whatever, whatever, whatever
 Oh my God
 He gave me the life that I came to live
 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
 But could this be make believe
 ♪
 Peace out the revolution, yeah
 You gotta do what you gotta do
