Prince - The Work Part I lyrics

Every time I watch the other people news I see a false picture of myself, another one of you They try to tell us what we want, what to believe Didn't that happen in the Garden When somebody spoke to Eve? But I'm willing to do The Work Willing to do what I gotta do I'm willing to do The Work Tell me now - what about you? Look around and tell me your Sun is Risen When ur brothers and sisters are in the Fall What is left to give when our work is done? What do we own besides the right to crawl? See we're living in a system that the devil designed And suffering from this devil's most heinous crime He's tried to keep us from the reason we were born That is to be the living truth in human for. But I'm willing to do The Work Willing to do what I gotta do I'm willing to do The Work Tell me now - what about you? This work is not an easy task But this is the work we must do for Revelation to come to pa** This work is the kind that turns your back on the Ruling Cla** By putting them in their place just like the past Taste it, ain't it sweet sweet? Gotta lotta work to do Taste it, ain't it sweet sweet? Gotta lotta work to do Nothing can stop us Whatever's in our way We got to go through it to get to it I heard somebody say, "I'm willing to do The Work Willing to do what I gotta do I'm willing to do The Work Tell me now - what about you?" Thank you
