Dead Prez - W-4 Lyrics
[intro sample vocals from "American Pimp"]So much shit goes on it makes me doubt about a God -- you know, makes me askwell if there is a God then why am I in the situation that I'm in?Or why is my family going through certain situationswhen I don't think that they deserve it nah mean?Or why do good people suffer so much and bad people prosper so much?[sample fades out as instrumental comes in][lighter sparking]YoGoin out...we light this J up right here...for all the hard working folkcross this country, cross the worldFor everybody on the grind everyday 9 to 5, 8 to 12 -- you know how we do itHand to hand, whateva...Yo, yo..[Chorus - singing]I been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to showI ain't tellin' you nothing you don't already knowI been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to showLike this world just don't want us to groooowI been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to showI ain't tellin' you nothing you don't already knowI been working all my life but ain't got nothin' to showWanna run up in tha white house and kick in tha do' ohhhhh[Verse 1]What a nigga gonna eat when the refrigerator empty?Work all week let the bossman pimp me?Can't pay no rent till the 15thLandlord call the police to evict meLookin for a job in the want adsHave you ever been to jail? Know they gone askEver took a piss test that you didn't pass?In between jobs in the past? How you get cash?I done worked over hot ass stovesI done picked up trash off roadsWinter time in the streets and the coldMany times had to sleep in my clothes on the flo'What you know bout bein' po' seei
