Other Side of the Game

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Whatcha 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 you strong, but
Whatcha 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 withoutcha
Now, me and baby got this situation
See brotha 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 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?
Whatcha 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
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
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 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?
