Otherside Of The Game - Lyrics by Bob Marley


Lyrics
whatcha gonna do when they come for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
gave me the life that I came to live


Do I really,
want my baby

Brother tell me what to do
I know you got to get your hustle on

So I pray
I understand the game, sometimes

And I love you strong, but,

what you gonna do when they come for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you

God I can't stand life withoutcha


Now, me and baby got this situation

See brotha got this complex occupation

And it ain't that he don't have education

Cause I was right there at his graduation


Now, I ain't sayin' that this life don't work

But it's me and baby that he hurts

Cause I tell him right

He thinks I'm wrong

But I love him strong


He gave me the life that I came to live

Gave me the song that I came to give

Pressure on me

But the seed had grown
I can't make it on my own

Summer came around and the flowers bloomed

He became the sun
I became the moon

Precious gifts that we both received

Or could this be make believe

whatcha gonna do when they come for you
work ain't honest but it pays the bills
what we gonna do when they come for you
gave me the life that I came to live


Don't I know there's confusion

God's gonna see us through

Peace out to revolution

But we paid though


Don't you worry, I know there's confusion

The work ain't honest but it pays the bills

Don't you worry...

Gave me the life that I came to live

Don't you worry...

The work ain't honest but it pays the bills

Don't you worry...
