I Would Rather Work Hard

I WOULD RATHER WORK HARD I would rather work hard than steal, What does stealing has to do with me? Instead of being mock at the market place I would rather toil day and night under The rain and sun sweating like though Am to die today. I woukd rather work hard than beg for bread Whic men give proudly and does not satisfy. I would rather work hard than been idle; An iddle hand is a devil's hand tool. I would rather labour in tears than make My tent among thieves and idle hands.
