Paroles
Whatcha 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 know you got to get your hustle on, so I pray
I understand the game sometimes
And I love him strong but
Whatcha you gonna do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills (yes, it does)
What we gonna do when they come for you
God I can't stand life withoutcha
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 he hurts
Because 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 is 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 you gonna do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills
(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 (yes, you did)
Don't worry, baby
I know there's confusion
God's gonna see us through, yeah
Peace out to revolution
But we paid though
Don't you worry, keep your balance (what you gonna do, what you gonna do)
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills (yes, it does)
Don't you worry, keep your balance (don't have to worry, baby)
Gave me the life that I came to live (yes, you did)
Don't you worry, keep your balance
The work ain't honest but it pays the bills
(The work ain't honest but it pays the bills)
Don't you worry, keep your balance
You 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
Oh, yeah
Badu is with you, baby
We gon' make it, yeah
Me, you and the baby
You gonna do whatcha you gonna do
Go, oh-oh, yeah, baby, baby
Oh, go on, go on, go on, yeah
See I ain't tryin' to bind your life
But I want you to do what's right, and yeah
I'm your wife
Peace out to revolution
I know there's confusion
You gonna do what you gotta do now
