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 sometime
But I love him strong

What you gon do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills (yes it does)
What you gon do when they come for you
God, I can't stand life without you

See 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
He gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure's on me 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
Or could this be make believe

What you gon' do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills
What you gon do when they come for you
He gave me the life that I came to live

Don't you worry
God gon' see us through yeah
Can't stop the revolution
But we paid though
