lyrics

Never gon’ work that way no more…
I seen all our lives, steady workin’
Workin’ day and night, and some are hurtin’
Hurtin’ from the pressure
There’s so much pressure
For bills to stay alive, just to survive
Steady workin’ for a piece of the Earth and
People claimin’ turf when
When will we learn
Can’t buy peace with all the money you burnin’
It’s a matter of fact
That it helps to know first what you want to attract, and
Give it time to happen
And you will fulfill your dreams
And I know what it seems like
The road’s hard and dreams like
Memories they disappear – in time
In time you will find yourself – in time 3x
Never gon’ work that way no more
(Chorus)
All my people work, see you workin’
All my people work, I see you workin’
All my people work, they steady workin’
All my people work, straight steady workin’
Never gon’ work that way no more 4x
And now I go to work for my passion
I work hard for somethin’ that could last
And stand the test of time
Yo, it’s motivational rhyme for ya
I open up my heart and my mind for ya
So you can understand that I’m kind of uh…
Just a little confused
But ain’t no use in singin’ the blues
So I look at what I’m choosin’
Do I have more to gain or to lose
And would I ever put my name on this
If I couldn’t represent what I’m claimin’ is
Is the way that I live my life
I never said that I’m always nice
You wanna jump? Playa roll them dice
Ain’t been a minute since I had to get
Tricky with a work supervisor
Never givin’ love ‘cuz they thinkin’ they wiser
Always gotta get somethin’ goin’ on the side
A little somethin’ somethin’ for the mind…
A little somethin’ back you could say it’s compensation
Just a little somethin’ back for my time y’all
A little somethin’ back for my future inspiration
Just a little somethin’ back for my mind y’all
A little somethin’ back you could say it’s compensation
Just a little somethin’ back for my time y’all
A little somethin’ back for my future inspiration
Just a little somethin’ back for my mind y’all
Straight steady workin’ 4x
