[Sweatshop Union - Pot Of Stew lyrics]
You do what you gotta do just
To get your pot of stew
And once you got a modest pot you
Want a lot – it's true
And once you got a lot you
Gotta stop and lock your view
And those who need it most get them on
Their feet and show them how to
Do what they gotta do just to
Get their pot of stew
Once they got a modest pot they
Want a lot – it's true
But once they got a lot
They gotta lock the view
And those that need it get them on
Their feet and walk them through
At the end of the day if my rent isn’t paid
Then I’ll be livin’ in a tent
Or beggin’ friends for a place
To rest my head
So yes, my bread’s on my brain
It’s a lead ball and chain but I
Did it all the same ‘cause
Everybody’s got a struggle, man
You can either let it stress you
Out or say fuck it (fuck it)
Get up and start hustling shit
Stop making someone else rich
Hell, get selfish
Can’t split the wealth – if
I happen to get caught
Time to sit down and analyze the risk and
Revise the script now
There are days that I played it safe cause
Even loyal people lie right to my face
And tried destroyin’ me right behind my back
So I keep the lawyer fees aside
I can't get by with what royalties provide
So I steer clear of the
Rats and venomous snakes
Who get theirs at the end of the day
Trying to get some property under
Me and stay properly funded
See I’m talking about real wealth
Not about monopoly money
Cause paper ain’t worth a damn thang
But acres of land brings
A place for my family to
Build and live forever
Gotta get the parmesan, gouda
Swiss and cheddar
And keep it in the freezer so my
Kids can better their lives with it
And hopefully they use their brains and
Get themselves in the position
To improve and change the lives of others
Cause at the end of the day what’s driving
The struggle for nothing making minimum wage
Cause if I get paid
Then I could give some away
That’s why I hustle for tomorrow but
I live for the day
See You do what you gotta do just
To get your pot of stew
And once you got a modest pot you
Want a lot – it's true
And once you got a lot you
Gotta stop and lock your view
And those who need it most get them on
Their feet and show them how to
Do what they gotta do just to
Get their pot of stew
And Once they got a modest pot they
Want a lot – it's true
But once they got a lot
They gotta lock the view
And those that need it get them on
Their feet and walk them through
To get your pot of stew
And once you got a modest pot you
Want a lot – it's true
And once you got a lot you
Gotta stop and lock your view
And those who need it most get them on
Their feet and show them how to
Do what they gotta do just to
Get their pot of stew
Once they got a modest pot they
Want a lot – it's true
But once they got a lot
They gotta lock the view
And those that need it get them on
Their feet and walk them through
At the end of the day if my rent isn’t paid
