work - malcom mufunde & yaaduniverse lyrics

verse 1:
the world is cold as a witch tit; we trynna survive in these mean streets
cheap*jacks by trade; dreams shattered by bigwigs
we cut and run every time the corps show up
on blind corners, we trynna help our sons grow up
without resorting to the ski mask but baccalaureates
so they’d be objects of a government we’d rather object
and tweet #zimlivesmatter, #registertovote
and the tweets get more likes than the party gets votes
we plug away, trusting we’ll take care of our mothers
but the payslips don’t come with divisible numbers
the math ain’t adding up; we need side hustles
to fit the missing piece to the puzzle (toda mabasa!)
we are and our parents were street vendors
we sweat it out ‘cause we want our kids to live better
and flip through the classifieds, cvs laid by the side
all them elder statesmen ain’t gon ever resign

hook:
we putting in work
we making it work
people need work
one day, it’s gotta work
we putting in work
we making it work
people need work
one day, it’s gotta work
we putting in work
we making it work
people need work
one day, it’s gotta work
we putting in work
we making it work
people need work
one day, it’s gotta work
verse 2:
so we call out to the powerbrokers; man, your power broke us
we just wanna catch a break but keep getting broker
it’s been a decade since power cut, the generator started
we been having power cuts since our generation started
we got goals but we can’t find the net
though you can find us on the net looking for jobs with a net
but it’s hard with no connection (toda mabasa!)
and that’s a reference to both nepotism and broadband
a billion years ago, we all came from antimatter
to work or die broke, the galactic ultimatum
pinned down and tapered to the colors of our collars
as we knuckle down our hands for the colors of our owners
who recite we all got a fair crack of the whip
but we fumbled opportunities and let them all slip
so we settle as the elbow grease of corporate machines
that’s the lucky of us, most of us charity bins
