The Work Pt. 1

Ow!

Ooh

Heh

Ooh, ah

Break

Ooh, ah

Wouldn't you do the work?

Heh

Ooh, ah

Whoa

Huh

Every time I watch

The other people news

I see a false picture of myself

Another one of you

They try to tell us what we want

What to believe

Did it happen in the garden

When somebody spoke to Eve?

But I'm willin', now

Willin' to do the work

Willin, do what I gotta do

Ah, ah, I'm willin'

Willin' to do the work

Tell me, tell me, now

Said, what about you?

Ooh

Oh, oh

Look around and tell me

(Tell me)

Your sun is risen

When your brothers and sisters are in the fall

(Whoa)

People tell me

What is left to give

(Nothing)

When our work is done?

What do we own besides the right to crawl?

See, we're livin' in a system

Ooh

That the devil designed

(Like we ain't)

Sufferin from this devil's most heinous crime

To try to keep us from the

Listen

(Tell it)

Reason that we were born

That is to be the living truth

In human form

But, you see, I'm willin'

Ooh, willin' to do the work

I do, do what I gotta do

Baby, I will now

Willin' to do the work

Tell me now, tell me now

Tell me now

What about you?

(Tell me, now)

Ah

Ow!

Willin' to do the work

Are you willing?

Willin' to do the work

You willin'?

Ooh

Willin' to do the work

Ooh, do it now

Willin' to do the work

This work, this work

Huh, is not an easy task

But this is the work we must do

For revelation to come to pass

This work, this work

Is the kind that turns your back on the ruling class

By puttin' 'em in they place

Just like the past

Look out, uh

Willin', willin' to do the work

Willin', willin' to do the work

Willin', willin' to do the work

Willin', willin' to do the work

Willin', willin' to do the work

Willin', willin' to do the work

Nothing can stop us

Whatever's in our way

We got to go through it to get to it

I heard somebody say

That they're willin'

Oh, baby

Willin' to do the work

Willin', do what I gotta do

People tell me

Willin' to do the work

Yeah

Willin'

What about you?

She come around

Willin' to do

Willin' to do the work

Go!

Thank you

It's not over

The people came to do the work

And with every phase of the deconstruction

The everlasting now

It came at the full

The reality

Everywhere would see the change

But the alchemy occurred most

In the mirrors
