Other Side Of The Game - LIve At The Jazz Cafe, London
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
