)Sun rises (sun rises over me)
Filters through the drapes at dawn
Daddy taught me (Daddy taught me to believe)
I could be whatever I want
Think about him when the days get lonely
But now I'm a stranger in my own backyard and
People tell me I'll amount to nothing
They're just snakes in the garden
I go to work
Everyday to be worthy
The ground on which I stand
I go to work
Can't nobody can hurt me
This hammer in my hand
I got to work
Some turn to the bottle
Some find peace in the church
Whatever gets you through the nights alright
But in the day I go to work
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Sun setting (sun setting in the evening)
Dreaming of a day of rest
Ain't complaining (I ain't looking for a break)
Just wish it wasn't check to check
Sometimes I wonder what my life was meant for
Will I grinding till the day I'm buried?
I used to dream that I'd climb great mountains
No time to worry
I go to work
Everyday to be worthy
The ground on which I stand
I go to work
Can't nobody can hurt me
This hammer in my hand
I got to work
Some turn to the bottle
Some find peace in the church
Whatever gets you through the nights alright
But in the day I go to work
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Run, run
Get it all done
Don't neglect your daughter or your baby son
I said a man's worth, measured by his purse
Never let you rise above the goddamn dirt
I said run, run
Get it all gone
Don't neglect your daughter or your baby sons
I said a man's worth, measured by his purse
Never let you rise above the Gods
I go to work
Everyday to be worthy
The ground on which I stand
I go to work
Can't nobody can hurt me
This hammer in my hand
I got to work
Some turn to the bottle
Some find peace in the church
Whatever gets you through the nights alright
But in the day I go to work
