Baby, baby, baby, baby

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
What we gonna do when they come for you?
Gave me the life that I came to live

Do I really want my baby?
Brother, tell me what to do
I know you got to get your hustle on, so I pray
I understand the game sometimes
And I love you strong, but

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
What we gonna do when they come for you?
God, I can’t stand life withoutcha

Now, me and baby got this situation
See brotha got this complex occupation
And it ain’t that he don’t have education
'Cause I was right there at his graduation

Now, I ain’t sayin’ that this life don’t work
But it’s me and baby that he hurts
Because I tell him right, he thinks I’m wrong
But I love him strong

He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me but the seed has grown
I can’t make it on my own

Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun, I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Or could this be make believe?

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
What we gonna do when they come for you?
Gave me the life that I came to live

Don’t worry, baby, I know there’s confusion
God’s gonna see us through, yeah
Peace out to revolution
But we paid though

Don’t you worry, keep your bag in
The work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
Don’t you worry, keep your bag
Gave me the life that I came to live in

Don’t you worry, keep your bag in
The work ain’t honest but it pays the bills
Don’t you worry, keep your bag in

He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me but the seed has grown
I can’t make it on my own

Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun, I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
Or could this be make believe?
