Otherside Of The Game Lyrics

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,

 

 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 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

 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 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

 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 I know there's confusion

 God's gonna see us through

 Peace out to revolution

 But we paid though

 

 Don't you worry, I know there's confusion

 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...
