Lyrics

Don't be in such a rush to grow
When you're ready to make that jump, you'll know
You'll go to school, I promise you
You'll study hard and earn your degree
You won't have to break your back in the fields
Or stand on your feet all day cutting chickens like me
But one day soon, you'll see, I'm gonna be a secretary
And after work, I'll go to school to study to be a teacher
Maybe one day I'll teach you
And your daddy will be the one working in the hot sun
All day on his feet in construction
Man does what he gotta do to keep the lights on and the children fed
What kinda buildin' man can't build his own front steps?
Spinner rises with the sun, and it's late when he comes home
Way after the sun go down
That man out on the town
Make his wife go 'round back while he 'round back of some gal
Hush now, old drunks
Spreading rumors, day and night
It ain't right
Written by: Terence Blanchard
