The Work Pt.1 Lyrics - The Rainbow Children - Prince

Every time I watch the other people news 

I c a false picture of myself, another one of u 

They try 2 tell us what we want, what 2 believe 

Didn't that happen in the Garden 

When somebody spoke 2 Eve? 

But I'm willing 2 do The Work 

Willing 2 do what I gotta do 

I'm willing 2 do The Work 

Tell me now - what about u? 

Look around and tell me ur Sun is Risen 

When ur brothers and sisters r in the Fall 

What is left 2 give when r work is done? 

What do we own besides the right 2 crawl? 

C we're living in a system that the devil designed 

And suffering from this devil's most heinous crime 

He's tried 2 keep us from the reason we were born 

That is 2 b the living truth in human 4m 

But I'm willing 2 do The Work 

Willing 2 do what I gotta do

I'm willing 2 do The Work 

Tell me now - what about u? 

This work is not an easy task 

But this is the work we must do 4 Revelation 2 come 2 pass 

This work is the kind that turns ur back on the Ruling Class 

By putting them in their place just like the past 

Taste it, ain't it sweet sweet? 

Gotta lotta work 2 do 

Taste it, ain't it sweet sweet? 

Gotta lotta work 2 do 

Nothing can stop us 

Whatever's in r way 

We got 2 go thru it 2 get 2 it 

I heard somebody say, 

I'm willing 2 do The Work 

Willing 2 do what I gotta do 

I'm willing 2 do The Work 

Tell me now - what about u? 

Thank u
