The Trade

Verse
In the morning light, we rise
With weary eyes, we realize
No matter what we do or say
The man's got us working all damn day

Chorus
No matter your hair, skin, or mind
The man's gonna own your behind
Eight hours a day, just to earn your pay
But we won't let him take our souls away

Verse
From the break of dawn 'til the setting sun
We're on the grind, but we won't run
Through the struggles, we'll find our way
And break free from the chains they lay

Chorus
No matter your hair, skin, or mind
The man's gonna own your behind
Eight hours a day, just to earn your pay
But we won't let him take our souls away

Bridge
We'll rise up, we'll stand tall
Won't let the system make us fall
With every breath, we'll defy
Their rules, their norms, we'll defy

Chorus
No matter your hair, skin, or mind
The man's gonna own your behind
Eight hours a day, just to earn your pay
But we won't let him take our souls away

Outro
Work and earn your pay,
just don't give your soul away.
