Can't stop worring
But I love him strong
What we gonna do when they come for you?
Or could this be make believe?
Gave me the life that I came to live
I understand the game sometimes
See brotha got this complex occupation
Peace out to revolution
What we gonna do when they come for you?
Gave me the song that I came to give
Because I tell him right, he thinks I’m wrong
See, I ain't trying to run your life
'Cause I was right there at his graduation
I know you got to get your hustle on, so I pray
What we gonna do when they come for you?
He gave me the life that I came to live
I can’t make it on my own
Gave me the life that I came to live in
And it ain’t that he don’t have education
But it’s me and baby that he hurts
Precious gifts that we both received
Just do whatchu gotta do now
Now, me and baby got this situation
Oh
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Oh yeah, Badu is with you, baby
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
God’s gonna see us through, yeah
Whoa, ho, yeah yeah, baby
Don’t worry, baby, I know there’s confusion
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Pressure on me but the seed has grown
He became the sun, I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Don’t you worry, keep your bag in
Don’t you worry, keep your bag
And I love you strong, but
He became the sun, I became the moon
Gave me the life that I came to live
The work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
Don’t you worry, keep your bag in
Or could this be make believe?
I'm your wife
Brother, tell me what to do
Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
Whoa, peace out to revolution
He gave me the life that I came to live
Oh yeah
Do I really want my baby?
We gon' make it, yeah
Gave me the song that I came to give
Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
I know there’s confusion, hey
The work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
Me, you and the baby
Now, I ain’t sayin’ that this life don’t work
Don’t you worry, keep your bag in
But I want you to do what's right, yeah
But we paid though
I can’t make it on my own
Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
Pressure on me but the seed has grown
God, I can’t stand life withoutcha
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
You gotta do whatchu gotta do, oh
