I Go To Work

(앨범: The Dark - 2021)

Sun rises
Sun rises over me
Filters through the drapes at dawn
Daddy taught me
Daddy taught me to believe
I could be whatever I want

I think about him when the days get lonely
When I'm a stranger in my own backyard and
People tell me I'll amount to nothing
They're just snakes in the garden

I go to work
Every day to be worthy
The ground on which I stand
I go to work
Can't nobody can hurt me
This hammer in my hand
I go to work
Some turn to the bottle
Some find peace in a church
Whatever gets you through the night's all right
But in the day I go to work

Sun setting
Sun setting in the evening
Dreaming of a day of rest

Ain't complaining
I ain't looking for a break
Just wish it wasn't check to check

Sometimes I wonder what my life was meant for
Will I be grinding till the day I'm buried
I used to dream that I would climb great mountains
No time to worry

I go to work
Every day to be worthy
The ground on which I stand
I go to work
Can't nobody can hurt me
This hammer in my hand
I go to work
Some turn to the bottle
Some find peace in the church
Whatever gets you through the night's all right
But in the day I go to work

Run, run, get it all done
Don't neglect your daughter or your baby son
A man's worth, measured by his purse
Never let you rise above the goddamn dirt

I said run, run, get it all done
Don't neglect your daughter or your baby son
I said a woman's worth, measured by her purse
Never let you rise above the gods

I go to work
Every day to be worthy
Of the ground on which I stand
I go to work
Can't nobody can hurt me
This hammer in my hand
I go to work
Some turn to the bottle
Some find peace in a church
Whatever gets you through the night's all right
But in the day I go to work
