Other Side of the Game
Erykah Badu

Chorus:
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you
Work ain't honest but it pays the bills
What we gonna do when they come for you
Gave me the life that I came to live

Verse 1:
Do I really
Want my baby
Brother tell me what to do
I know you got to get your hustle on
So I pray
I understand the game sometimes
And I love you strong, but

Chorus

Verse 2:
Now me and baby got this situation
See brotha got this complex occupation
And it ain't that the don't have education
'Cause I was right there at his graduation
Now I ain't sayin' that this life don't work
But it's me and baby that he hurts
'Cause I tell him right
He thinks I'm wrong
But I love him strong

Bridge:
He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure on me
But the seed has grown
I can't make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun
I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both recieved
Or could this be make believe

Chorus
