Down in the wiregra**,
"where the water don't run,
Diggin' through dry sand,
Searching for blood
Lord it's hard to make a living,
And it's nothing new,
But you got to change your thinking,
When it don't come to you"
Chorus:
I was told to get busy,
Roll up my sleeve
Yeah to shield your spirit,
In your time of need
Take wise's council,
Man to man,
Straight from my heart,
Friend to friend
If you keep on digging,
In that shifting sand,
You can dig to china,
Never find dry land,
This aint the gospel,
But i swear it's true,
Brother how you use it,
Man that's up to you
Chorus:
Cause I was told to get busy,
Roll up my sleeve
Yeah to shield your spirit,
In your time of need
Take wise's council,
Man to man,
Straight from my heart,
Friend to friend
