I Go To Work - Delta Rae

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

I think about him when the days get lonely

When 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

Every day 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 go to work

Some turn to the bottle

Some find peace in a church

Whatevr gets you through the night’s all right

But in the day I go to work

Sun stting

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 be grinding till the day I’m buried

I used to dream that I would climb great mountains

No time to worry

I go to work

Every day 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 go to work

Some turn to the bottle

Some find peace in the church

Whatever gets you through the night’s all right

But in the day I go to work

Run, run, get it all done

Don’t neglect your daughter or your baby son

A man’s worth, measured by his purse

Never let you rise above the goddamn dirt

I said run, run, get it all done

Don’t neglect your daughter or your baby son

I said a woman’s worth, measured by her purse

Never let you rise above the gods

I go to work

Every day to be worthy

Of the ground on which I stand

I go to work

Can’t nobody can hurt me

This hammer in my hand

I go to work

Some turn to the bottle

Some find peace in a church

Whatever gets you through the night’s all right

But in the day I go to work
