W-4 Lyrics - Dead Prez

Yo, goin' out, we light this J up right here 

For all the hard workin' folk 

Cross this country, cross the world 

For everybody on the grind everyday nine to five, eight to twelve 

You know how we do it hand to hand, whatever, yo, yo 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

I ain't tellin' you nothin' you don't already know 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

Like this world just don't want us to grow 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

I ain't tellin' you nothin' you don't already know 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

Wanna run up in the white house and kick in the door, woh ooo oh 

What a nigga gonna eat when the refrigerator empty? 

Work all week let the bossman pimp me 

Can't pay no rent till the fifteenth, landlord call the police to evict me 

Lookin' for a job in the want ads 

Have you ever been to jail? Know they gone ask 

Ever took a piss test that you didn't pass? 

In between jobs in the past? How you get cash? 

I done worked over hot ass stoves, I done picked up trash off roads 

Winter time in the streets and the cold 

Many times had to sleep in my clothes on the floor 

What you know bout bein' po' seein' most of yo kinfolk be on dope? 

Ain't nobody in the hood got no hope in this fucked up system 

And that's why we don't vote 

Still payin' niggaz four twenty five, how the fuck we supposed to survive? 

I'm close to the edge, government takin' most of my bread 

In taxes might as well have this close to my head 

Make a nigga wanna wild out 

Run up in the white house with the gouge out, click clack 

Give me my shit back beeyatch 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

I ain't tellin' you nothin' you don't already know 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

Like this world just don't want us to grow 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

I ain't tellin' you nothin' you don't already know 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

Wanna run up in the white house and kick in the door, woh ooo oh 

Puttin' on my uniform, just a number on a W four form 

See where I'm from it's a few ways out 

Either rappin' or sports either dope or the casket 

You can work to the bone but don't put all yo eggs in one basket 

We don't never get a piece of the pie, work fifty years, retire then die 

Stay po', rich folks is the criminal but you don't wanna hear me tho' so 

Thank God it's Friday, ain't it what we live for? 

Nigga gotta get up out the plantation 

Same job that my pop had before me 

Imma pass it down to my seed fucked up situation 

Make a nigga wanna wild out 

Run up in the white house with the gouge out, click clack 

Give me my shit back beeyatch 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

I ain't tellin' you nothin' you don't already know 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

Like this world just don't want us to grow 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

I ain't tellin' you nothin' you don't already know 

I been workin' all my life but ain't got nothin' to show 

Wanna run up in the white house and kick in the door, woh ooo oh 

My J O B 

Is just like a plantation 

They owe me 

But got me fillin' out this application 

My J O B 

Is just like a plantation 

They owe me 

And got me fillin' out this application 

What I look like?
