So when I'm done, when I'm done with my chores
What are you tryin' to say
Oh pops, pops is gone and mom's workin' 5-6 days a week, yeah
Mama, she just wanted me to do my homework, workin' slow
Wash them cloths, sweep that roof
Mama, mama tryin' but she got to survive
Do the housework
Do the housework
I go outside and I learn some, learn some more
Out in the street I've got friends just like me
So now I got to get, get a 9 to 5
So what are you tryin' to say
What are you tryin' to say
So what are you tryin' to say
So what are you tryin' to say
But where I work, where I work I don't get paid
Work in school and learnin' the, learnin' the supposed rule
Hey hey hey hey
So what are you tryin' to say
A drink here and a smoke there, what was dirty now is clean, yeah
Me and my partners tryin' things just to see what they means
But when I get home mama left a note, do the housework
Hey hey hey hey
Cut that lawn, washing the dishes
But in the street I make my, my own rules
Oh I feel like, like I go to work everyday
Do the housework
