[Intro: Tech N9ne]

Fight the pain inside the rain

A rebel know to let the devil go

So now to get paid, 'bout to be working like a slave

[Verse 1: Krizz Kaliko]

I’m kinda good, kinda bad

Kinda getting money can’t be mad

I’m kinda broke but I’m kinda rich

Wishing I had a corner I could put a bitch in

Ain’t gon' do nothing, ain’t like I’m suffering

Food for my baby mouth and I bought a house

For my baby mother and

What’s wrong? I try

Don’t matter, still die

I’m strong, but I’m not

When I’m alone I cry

Out for you is hard to do

I can’t see you, so doubt for you

And out my mouth I sprout the noose

Too much Vodka, and Mountain Dew

Blaspheming ain’t what I be meaning, if you listen fast

You’d think I was a heathen, but the last

Sunday receiving the preaching from the pastor

And I ain’t even believing the bastard

But no Hades, God’s baby

God made me a lil crazy

When I’m off I’m gone, my life is my songs

It's what I mean? When I sing "still on a wing and a prayer"

But if I listen to what was written

In the scripture maybe it’ll get me there

Share with the people I swear it isn’t evil

Scared that it might be in vain

But if I say I’m the genius, and like Jesus

Everybody gonna know my name, Kali

[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]

I’ve been working like a slave, oh Lordy

And I get tired along this lonesome journey

I done stumbled on this road, I’ve been wrong, I know

I know that there’s no peace in my shelter

[Verse 2: Kutt Calhoun]

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord

I need reparations due to devastations

From the state of present situations

And it’s not easy

To walk a narrow path and mock Jesus

It’s hard when you’re family wonderin'

When you’re gonna make enough to stop leavin'

Stop breathing for a minute 'cause it’s all

Artificial when them laws tryna get you

When them haters right behind em

Wanna shove a double barrel sawed off in your dental

What can I do to stop a big catastrophe

When niggas after me and bitches after me

Wanna have my baby, missing niggas lately

Trials and tribulations tackle me

My mama think I made it, she feeling elated

Proud of her only son born

My kids think I’m the greatest, I can not display a smile

Feelin' like a Funion

Salty and all (You’ll be...)

Locked in a stall (...Tryin')

Lost in the cause (Truly no denying)

Ain’t nobody gonna do it for me

For the MO, don't let it drive me insane

Solicitation of a prostitute

'Cause you're a ho when you’re playing this game

But it’s okay I am gon ride till I triumph

'Cause everybody once upon a time was a slave

This is Calhoun

[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]

I’ve been working like a slave, oh Lordy

And I get tired along this lonesome journey

I done stumbled on this road, I’ve been wrong, I know

I know that there’s no peace in my shelter

[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]

I work, I play, and I drink booze every day

Tryna muffle the blues I'mma say

You'se in the way, fools run astray

Allah, God, Jesus, Jah somebody please help me

Mama got a problem with diabetes, it don’t seem healthy

Everything depends on Ninna

Fame hitting Dontez Senior

Gotta nigga thinking some of the fans I’m making it

Will they wanna do me like Selena

Devil laughing like a hyena

Losing all the good in my demeanor

I don’t wanna go psycho but yo the flow ya know

I got to go and Charlie Sheen ya

Tryna stay good with the old lady

My mind made her go crazy

No time for my poor babies

So don’t let a motherfucker play me

When I say FU pay me

Even though I’m getting money you can still see

I’m hungry like I’m in Haiti

What am I to do? What am I to you?

But a lot of cool? But I’m not amused?

Can’t you see? I’m stressed, not free

From y’all, I’m sick

My body’s hot, if 'n this pressure

Don’t let up, this will prolly stop for Tech Ninna

[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]

I’ve been working like a slave, oh Lordy

And I get tired along this lonesome journey

I done stumbled on this road, I’ve been wrong, I know

I know that there’s no peace in my shelter
