I've been working towards a good life Restless days and sleepless nights I have to make the bread I have to meet the ends can't afford to gaze no time to waste with my friends no! Prices hiking more and more the rich is still rich, the poor is still poor because I want the best of everything I'm gonna work hard for my blessing ! chorus Cause I've been working so hard yet I can't see my way cost of life gets so high more and more everyday Cause I work from nine to five just to stay alive and I work from twelve to eight for the bills to pay And I can't afford to play a fool because the kids need to go to school Verse 2 I'll be working hard until the sun goes down I'll be working hard until I get my crown I'll be working hard until I get what's mine that's just how the system's design it makes no sense just sitting down waiting when a world of opportunities awaits me Another day gone is another day wasted though its tough I won't give up I have to make it chorus
I've been working so hard still I can't see my way cost of life gets so high more and more everyday Cause I work from nine to five just to stay alive and I work from twelve to eight for the bills to pay And I can't afford to play a fool because the kids need to go to school I 've been working towards a good life Restless days and sleepless nights I have to make the bread I have to meet the ends can't afford to gaze no time to waste with my friends no!
