The Grind (feat. David Foster)

I walked all day tryin to find me work

I must have knocked on one hundred doors

Would have swallowed my pride for some money

And be satisfied sweepin' the floors

Mr. Government-man

Mr. Silver-and-gold

Mr. Bustin'-my-ass

Mr. All-you-can-hold

I spent last night asleep on a park bench

'til a cop came and moved me along

Told him I was not botherin' nobody

Yes he told me I was to go

Mr. Government-man

Mr. Silver-and-gold

Mr. Bustin'-my-ass

Mr. All-you-can-hold

Everywhere, I get the same kind of answer

Not now or maybe then

Well me time is runnin' out on me people, yes me people

If you're down and without a friend

Yeah, yeah

Mr. Government-man

Mr. Silver-and-gold

Mr. Bustin'-my-ass

Mr. All-you-can-hold

Mr. Government-man

Mr. Silver-and-gold

Mr. Bustin'-my-ass

Mr. All-you-can-hold

Mr. Government-man

Mr. Silver-and-gold

Mr. Bustin'-my-ass

Mr. All-you-can-hold

Mr. Government-man

Mr. Silver-and-gold

Mr. Bustin'-my-ass

Mr. All-you-can-hold...
