LYRICS
Nothing in this world is as it seems
Billions spent to control what we perceive
Corporations, chains we can’t see
Living off the ashes of the American Dream
They seized the market, squeezed our options
Overseas’d our means of production
Media stirs up a distraction
While Congress votes to send it through
They grow stronger, we get weaker
Slave labor makes phones and sneakers
But at least the rope is cheaper
Convenience is the noose
You gotta work
The enemy don’t have to do nothing at all
He just whispers in our ear and laughs as we fall
Fear is a poison you feel but don’t think
Why sit at the table when you watched them make that drink?
When are you gonna realize
The serpent fills your heart with lies
Venom poised to paralyze
You’ve gotta learn to flip the script
Persuasion with precision
Got you locked in indecision
Time to motivate your vision
If you want to slip that grip
You gotta work
You gotta work (Don’t make a rich man richer)
You gotta work (Spend your life miserable and bitter)
You gotta work (Don’t waste it a dreamer and a wisher)
You gotta work (Find the guts to paint your bigger picture)
I gotta work, I've gotta toil
Gotta suffer in the soil
I've gotta sweat, I’ve gotta bleed
Blister my hands to plant the seed
I won’t give up, I won’t back down
Until I hear that blessed sound
I’ll work my hands to the bone
Til my Creator calls me home
