W-4 (Explicit Album Version) - Dead Prez

Written by：Clayton Gavin/Lavonne Alford/Stic of dead prez

Going out we light this J up right here for all the hard working folk

Cross this country cross the world

For everybody on the grind everyday 9 to 5 8 to 12

You just know how we do it

Hand to hand whateva

Yo yo

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

I ain't telling you nothing you don't already know

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

Like this world just don't want us to groooow

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

I ain't telling you nothing you don't already know

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

Wanna run up in tha white house and kick in tha do'

What a ni**a gonna eat when the refrigerator empty

Work all week let the bossman pimp me

Can't pay no rent till the 15th

Landlord call the police to evict me

Looking 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 a** 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 flo'

What you know bout being po' seein' most of yo kinfolk be on d**e

Ain't nobody in the hood got no hope in this f**ked up system

And that's why we don't vote

Still paying niggas 425 how the f**k we supposed to survive

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

In taxes might as well have this close to my head

Make a ni**a wanna wild out

Runup in the white house with the gauge out click clack

Gimme my sh*t back beeyotch

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

I ain't telling you nothing you don't already know

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

Like this world just don't want us to groooow

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

I ain't telling you nothing you don't already know

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

Wanna run up in tha white house and kick in tha do' ohhhhh

Puttin' on my uniform just a number on a w4 form

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

Either rapping or sports either d**e 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 50 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 fo'

Ni**a gotta get up out the plantation

Same job that my pop had before me

I'mma pass it down to my seed f**ked up situation

Make a ni**a wanna wild out

Runup in the white house with the gauge out click clack

Gimme my sh*t back beeyotch

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

I ain't telling you nothing you don't already know

I been working all my life but ain't got nothing to show

Wanna run up in tha white house and kick in tha do' ohhhhh

My J O beeee
