Other Side Of The Game (Live At The Jazz Café / London)

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 you worry, 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
