What you want and what you will

Working for your dollar bill

Sad to see the old slave mill
A B
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
C#m B
Walking home, ah you gets killed
C#m B
Police free to shoot at will
C#m B
Sad to see the old slave mill
A B
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
C#m B
Nine to five you know the drill
C#m B
Weekends are a shawty thrill
C#m B
Sad to see the old slave mill
A B
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
C#m B
Come put it on over till it spill
C#m B
Take until they've had their fill

Some of us think we're too big
F#m F#m
Got a system, gives us jobs
C#m C#m
Even though it's just a low paying game
C#m C#m
Some of us will boast and brag
F#m F#m
And those of us who think we're small
F#m F#m
Just because we don't have much
C#m C#m
That's really not the case at all
C#m C#m
There's riches that the flesh can't touch
F#m F#m
Some of us won't respect names
F#m F#m
Some of us don't respect loves
C#m C#m
Some of us don't respect life
C#m C#m
Even though we worship God
F#m F#m
And some of us won't let go of faith
F#m F#m
No matter what the price may cost
C#m C#m
Some of us wan' practice hate
C#m C#7
But I will still believe in love

Sad to see the old slave mill
A B
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
C#m B
Walking home, a child gets killed
C#m B
Neighbours free to shoot at will
C#m B
Hurts to see the old slave mill
A B
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
C#m B
Nine to five, we know the drill
C#m B
Weekends such a short-lived thrill
C#m B
Sad to see the old slave mill

Come run it over till it spill

F#m F#m
Most of us think we're too good
F#m F#m
Just because material gain
C#m C#m
If we were living as we should
C#m C#m
Then less of us would be in pain
F#m F#m
Those who are misunderstood
F#m F#m
Still deserve a voice to claim
C#m C#m
The things that are still meaningful
C#m C#m
To each and all of us the same
F#m F#m
And some will say the cups are full
F#m F#m
And give your thumbs on what we've gained
C#m C#m
And some will say there's
Much more weight to pull
C#m C#m
And then we tell you
That straight up and plain
F#m F#m
And some will think outside the box
F#m F#m
While some of us will hold our lanes
C#m C#m
And some of us we write the facts
C#m C#7
While some of us just don't care
C#m B
What men want and what they will
