Working for your dollar bill

Is grinding slow, but grinding still

Sad to see the old slave mill

Verse 1:
C# minorC#m             BB
Some of us think we're too big
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
'Cause the system gives us jobs
C# minorC#m             BB
Even though it's just a low paying gig
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Some of us will boast and brag
C# minorC#m             BB
And those of us who think we're small
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Just because we don't have much
C# minorC#m             BB
That's really not the case at all

C# minorC#m             BB
Some of us don't respect life
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Even though we worship God
C# minorC#m             BB
And some of us won't let go faith
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
No matter what the price may cost
C# minorC#m             BB
Some of us won't practice hate
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Because we still believe in love

Verse 2:
C# minorC#m             BB
Most of us think we're too good
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Just because material gain
C# minorC#m             BB
If we were living as we should
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Then less of us would be in pain
C# minorC#m             BB

To each and all of us the same

F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
And give Jah thanks to what we've gained
C# minorC#m             BB
And some will say there's much more weight to pull
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
And them will tell you that straight up and plain
C# minorC#m             BB
And some will think outside the box
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
While some of us will hold our lanes
C# minorC#m             BB
And some of us we write the facts
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
While some of us a chop down cane
