[Intro]
I can remember when huh those slavery times...
[Chorus]
C#mWhat you won't and what you wBill
F#mWorking for your dollar biAll
C#mSad to see the old slave mBill
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mWalking home, a youth gets kiBlled
F#mPolice free to shoot at will A
C#mSad to see the old slave millB
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mNine to five you know the driBll
F#mWeekends are a short lived thrilAl
C#mSad to see the old slave millB
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mCup runneth over till it spilBl
F#mTake until they've had their filAl
C#mSad to see the old slave millB
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
[Verse 1]
C#mSome of us think we're too biBg
F#m'Cause the system gives us jobs A
C#mEven though it's just a low pBaying gig
F#mSome of us will boast and brag A
C#mAnd those of us who think we'Bre small
F#mJust because we don't have much A
C#mThat's really not the case atB all
F#mThere's riches that the flesh caAn't touch
C#mSome of us won't respect nameBs
F#mSome of us won't respect loves A
C#mSome of us don't respect lifeB
F#mEven though we worship God A
C#mAnd some of us won't let go fBaith
F#mNo matter what the price may cosAt
C#mSome of us won't practice hatBe
F#mBecause we still believe in loveA
[Chorus]
C#mWhat you won't and what you wBill
F#mWorking for a dollar bill A
C#mSad to see the old slave millB
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mWalking home, a child gets kiBlled
F#mNeighbors free to shoot at will A
C#mHurt' to see the old slave miBll
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mNine to five, we know the driBll
F#mWeekends are such a short-lived Athrill
C#mSad to see the old slave millB
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mCup runneth over till it spilBl
F#mTake until they've had their filAl
C#mSad to see the old slave millB
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
[Verse 2]
C#mMost of us think we're too goBod
F#mJust because material gain A
C#mIf we were living as we shoulBd
F#mThen less of us would be in painA
C#mThose who are misunderstood B
F#mStill deserve a voice to claim A
C#mThe things that are still meaBningful
F#mTo each and all of us the same A
C#mAnd some will say the cups arBe full
F#mAnd give Jah thanks to what we'vAe gained
C#mAnd some will say there's mucBh more weight to pull
F#mAnd them will tell you that straAight up and plain
C#mAnd some will think outside tBhe box
F#mWhile some of us will hold our lAanes
C#mAnd some of us we write the fBacts
F#mWhile some of us a chop down canAe
[Chorus]
C#mWhat men won't and what they wilBl
F#mWorking for a dollar bill A
C#mSad to see the old slave mill B
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mWalking home, a child gets killeBd
F#mPolice free to shoot at will A
C#mHurts to see the old slave mill B
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mNine to five you u know the drilBl
F#mWeekends are a short-lived thrilAl
C#mSad' to see the old slave mill B
F#mIs grinding slow but grinding stAill
C#mCup runneth over till it spill B
F#mTake until they've had their filAl
C#mSad to see the old slave mill B
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mIs grinding slow, but grindinBg still
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mIs grinding slow, but grindinBg still
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mIs grinding slow, but grindinBg still
F#mIs grinding slow, but grinding sAtill
C#mIs grinding slow, but grinding stBill
F#m A
