Work Everyday - Brother Ali[00:00:00]
Damn man [00:00:02]
I'm broker than an old VCR man [00:00:05]
I need a job [00:00:09]
Are they hiring at your job [00:00:10]
I got a stack of red bills at my house [00:00:12]
It looks like Valentine's Day at the crib [00:00:15]
My kids are eating left-over leftovers man [00:00:19]
I can't fool them no more [00:00:21]
It's job time[00:00:23]
Every day every day[00:00:23]
Got to work every day[00:00:24]
Every day every day[00:00:25]
Got to work every day[00:00:28]
My God there's got to be more to life than this[00:00:30]
There's got to be a bigger reason that I exist[00:00:33]
Work to eat to earn my keep[00:00:36]
To ensure somewhere to sleep and spend the weekend buying sh*t[00:00:38]
Don't need economists to know I need pot to piss[00:00:41]
Follow politics man I ain't got time to think[00:00:44]
What I got to set aside for my retirement[00:00:46]
Cop a double shift pay somebody to watch the kids[00:00:48]
Sick of all this but can't take an off day[00:00:51]
Doctor's office I can't swing the co pay[00:00:54]
Trapped in a network luck just to get work[00:00:56]
They celebrate every week nobody gets hurt[00:00:59]
Greed could never leave well enough alone[00:01:01]
They keep on squeezing till we bleed from every bone[00:01:04]
And we'll strive hard and stress about the rent[00:01:07]
Probably still die poor and in debt without a cent but[00:01:09]
I guess I'll carry my a** down to the county and see what they're talking about But[00:01:12]
You know they treat you like you shot somebody just because you need a little help[00:01:16]
You're telling my you ain't never been down on your luck[00:01:20]
Never tried to make them ends meet but just got stuck[00:01:24]
Never slaved at a gig like a bum with a cup[00:01:26]
Added all your pennies up and you still ain't had enough[00:01:29]
And the jobs full up they ain't hiring[00:01:31]
I'm barely surviving not enough to get by with[00:01:34]
Hunger is a constant problem stomach steady growling[00:01:37]
People getting shot in my environment[00:01:40]
Study go to college is what them people hollering[00:01:42]
Too many road blocks in the way it's not an option[00:01:44]
To say that it's impossible I would be lying[00:01:47]
But you ain't got a chance if you're not up in that top ten[00:01:49]
A couple got a scholarship but I am not them[00:01:52]
Ain't got the skills to pay the bills so my pockets are thin[00:01:54]
So until I cop a gig and my hardship ends[00:01:57]
Fixing to line my self up at your welfare office again[00:02:00]
And I expect to be accepted as the man that I am[00:02:03]
Respectfully and appreciatively Ma'am[00:02:05]
God damn you must be out of your mind[00:02:08]
Every day every day[00:02:13]
Got to work every day[00:02:16]
Every day every day[00:02:18]
Got to work every day[00:02:21]
People stressing here's the question[00:02:23]
How they get people drinking tea in a recession[00:02:26]
It's deception how absurd is this[00:02:29]
How are so many poor people conservative[00:02:32]
A pro artist I put it in the good music[00:02:34]
A con artist job's to make you look stupid[00:02:37]
Lookie here I'll teach you how to look trough it[00:02:39]
First thing you need to know every con got a hook to it[00:02:42]
They seduce you with a little wealth[00:02:44]
Say you could have some of these crumbs for yourself[00:02:46]
If the government doesn't make us help anyone else[00:02:49]
You stuck a red sign on your foreclosed house[00:02:51]
Make you think you're taking back your nation[00:02:54]
Then they turn it over to a major corporation[00:02:57]
Those companies took the jobs overseas[00:02:59]
And you handed them the wallet out your pocket for free[00:03:02]
You're staring in the sky with dollar signs for eyes[00:03:04]
The blind right wing of a bird that can't fly[00:03:07]
Just a peacock with a poked out gut[00:03:10]
Who's too fat to fly so his a** just strut but[00:03:12]
Every day every day[00:03:15]
Got to work every day[00:03:17]
Every day every day[00:03:20]
Got to work every day[00:03:22]
They're so criminal minded we've been blinded[00:03:25]
Looking for an honest job and can't find it[00:03:28]
They got a job bill we got a light bill[00:03:30]
If we don't pay ours our life is quite real[00:03:33]
Every day every day[00:03:36]
Got to work every day[00:03:38]
Every day every day[00:03:40]
Got to work every day[00:03:43]
