The Work Part I

Every time I watch the other people newsI see a false picture of myself, another one of youThey try to tell us what we want, what to believeDidn't that happen in the GardenWhen somebody spoke to Eve?But I'm willing to do The WorkWilling to do what I gotta doI'm willing to do The WorkTell me now - what about you?Look around and tell me your Sun is RisenWhen ur brothers and sisters are in the FallWhat is left to give when our work is done?What do we own besides the right to crawl?See we're living in a system that the devil designedAnd suffering from this devil's most heinous crimeHe's tried to keep us from the reason we were bornThat is to be the living truth in human for.But I'm willing to do The WorkWilling to do what I gotta doI'm willing to do The WorkTell me now - what about you?This work is not an easy taskBut this is the work we must do for Revelation to come to passThis work is the kind that turns your back on the Ruling ClassBy putting them in their place just like the pastTaste it, ain't it sweet sweet?Gotta lotta work to doTaste it, ain't it sweet sweet?Gotta lotta work to doNothing can stop usWhatever's in our wayWe got to go through it to get to itI heard somebody say,"I'm willing to do The WorkWilling to do what I gotta doI'm willing to do The WorkTell me now - what about you?"Thank you
