    C#m7             B             
What you want and what you will
    C#m7             B          
Working for your dollar bill
     C#m7            B
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B             
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    C#m7             B             
Walking home, ah you gets killed
    C#m7             B             
Police free to shoot at will
    C#m7             B            
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B          
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    C#m7             B            
Nine to five you know the drill
    C#m7             B            
Weekends are a shawty thrill
    C#m7             B            
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B          
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    C#m             B     
Come put it on over till it spill
    C#m             B     
Take until they've had their fill
    C#m             B     
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B   
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    F#m7           F#m7         
Some of us think we're too big
    F#m7           F#m7         
Got a system, gives us jobs
    C#m7           C#m7       
Even though it's just a low paying game
    C#m7           C#m7     
Some of us will boast and brag
    F#m7           F#m7         
And those of us who think we're small
    F#m7           F#m7         
Just because we don't have much
    C#m7           C#m7     
That's really not the case at all
    C#m7           C#m7     
There's riches that the flesh can't touch
    F#m7           F#m7         
Some of us won't respect names
    F#m7           F#m7         
Some of us don't respect loves
    C#m7           C#m7     
Some of us don't respect life
    C#m7           C#m7     
Even though we worship God
    F#m7           F#m7         
And some of us won't let go of faith
    F#m7           F#m7         
No matter what the price may cost
    C#m7           C#m7     
Some of us wan' practice hate
    C#m7           C#7     
But I will still believe in love

    C#m7             B   
What you want and what you will
    C#m7             B   
Working for a dollar bill
    C#m7             B   
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B   
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    C#m7             B   
Walking home, a child gets killed
    C#m7             B   
Neighbours free to shoot at will
    C#m7             B   
Hurts to see the old slave mill
    A               B   
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    C#m7             B   
Nine to five, we know the drill
    C#m7             B   
Weekends such a short-lived thrill
    C#m7             B   
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B   
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    C#m7             B   
Come run it over till it spill
    C#m7             B   
Take until they've had their fill
    C#m7             B   
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B   
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    F#m7           F#m7         
Most of us think we're too good
    F#m7           F#m7         
Just because material gain
    C#m7           C#m7     
If we were living as we should
    C#m7           C#m7     
Then less of us would be in pain
    F#m7           F#m7         
Those who are misunderstood
    F#m7           F#m7         
Still deserve a voice to claim
    C#m7           C#m7     
The things that are still meaningful
    C#m7           C#m7            
To each and all of us the same
    F#m7           F#m7         
And some will say the cups are full
    F#m7           F#m7         
And give your thumbs on what we've gained
    C#m7           C#m7     
And some will say there's

Much more weight to pull
    C#m7           C#m7     
And then we tell you

That straight up and plain
    F#m7           F#m7         
And some will think outside the box
    F#m7           F#m7         
While some of us will hold our lanes
    C#m7           C#m7     
And some of us we write the facts
    C#m7           C#7      
While some of us just don't care

    C#m7             B   
What men want and what they will
    C#m7             B   
Working for a dollar bill
    C#m7             B   
Sad to see the old slave mill
    A               B   
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

    C#m7             B

    C#m7             B
