lirik lagu earn ya wage – coopernicus
(first verse)
apostle paul had beseeched me
but church tryna reach me
had to learn the things public school couldn’t teach me
my job tryna bleach me, backsp-ce, and delete me
cause smart black man ain’t welcome in they teepee
get it how you live, man them games for the toddlers
and life ain’t peachy, nor sweet like a cobbler
it’s bitter like coffee, better yet parsley
they garnish all your wages, if you play the game softly
cutthroat kitchen and i’m cheffin up a feast
my genes all thorough bet you won’t find a crease
ending with most but we started with least
how you always do the most
but never practice what you preached
begin it wit a toast, champagne for the peeps
it’s all in the fam, no blood wit a leech
the river shallow but the snakes is present
and they wanna take you down
they just fake they pleasance
i been to churches where they hate the reverend
because he only told the truth, but the fakes won’t let em
this a world where the dogs eat
ain’t talking dog treats
and if you think i’m kiddin
betta buckle up car seat
been feelin better since i gave up that hog meat
i pan chedda, when i’m cookin up a raw beat
rain, hail, or sleet its no cause for sleep
the missions to get finished, never find me off my feet
i’m steady grindin, till you find me off an island
thinkin bout the struggle, and respecting god’s timing
(hook)
food on the table
bills getting paid
did for myself, stopped thinking like a slave….
young brother earn ya wage
lil sister earn ya wage
food on the table
bills getting paid
did for myself, stopped thinking like a slave….
young brother earn ya wage
lil sister earn ya wage
my medulla oblongata, gotta lotta strength and power
from them wicked philly streets, to dinner at the eiffel tower
all beats devoured, no speech for cowards
it’s a whole world out there, so let’s try to make ours
i don’t live by hours, said i only live moments
bringing people close to god, so i had to study romans
egyptian king resemblance, still i’m lookin like i’m chosen
whatever ya number is, i’m chasing the exponent
cl-ss been in session, but you slackin on enrollment
tried to box me in, now im ready for atonement
sold a couple houses, still hustle like i’m homeless
death in the family, only time you get condolences
time tells the truth, but they need that fake rolex
‘said you need all, maybe more, never no less
the money felt good, but it never came with no stress
panhandlers cool, but the vultures need a broke neck
thinking like an eagle, grab the fishes out the water
if you holdin hands out
then ya fate is gettin slaughtered
success wasn’t taught it, seen it then i sought it
travel so much, forgetting planes that we chartered
thinking for the future, that’s the key to getting smarter
all work and no play, and my mind is still sharper
my light shines if even if them days is darker
my flows could fill rivers, i ain’t talking bout chargers
(hook)
food on the table
bills getting paid
did for myself, stopped thinking like a slave….
young brother earn ya wage
lil sister earn ya wage
food on the table
bills getting paid
did for myself, stopped thinking like a slave….
you gotta earn ya wage
earn ya wage
