lyrics
[Verse 1]
I do this for school teachers, educate the masses
The EMTs who weave in and out of traffic
The Police, some corupt, most loyal
The American troop, fighting on rough soil//
I do this for the mechanic, fix some cars
Grease on they shirt, they living it large (ha!)
I do this for those making minimum wage
In a garage, thinking of ways of better pay//
I do this for the single mother, working two gigs
Two kids, drama, stressed, wearing a new wig
Lease is up, landlord wants her out
So they can clean the place and new people can move in//
I do this for the graduates, seeking entry
No interviews, applications are plenty
Businesses are lacking, stock market is crashing
Payback student loans, money is rationed//
I do this for the convicts, trying to turn their life around
Find peace with the Word, they living righteous now
The streets calling, prison they just left out
No job, old habits, seem to be the best route//
Looting, shooting, recruiting, anything for cheese
They have good manners, they practice saying please
I do this for the people,
because the people give me the motivation to succeed, don't you agree?
