Tree of Lyfe's video: Tree of Lyfe - Workin Hard

In American culture, there is this toxic dynamic of power. Ever since America was established there has always been a ruling "elite" class and a poor working slave class. Men and women who happen to fall into that slave class, fell victim to stunted growth. Fear of their "masters" left them feeling less than a man or woman. The term boy and girl was commonly used to describe such an individual openly only 10 to 20 years ago. This "boy" and subsequent "girl" only had their sneak peak at freedom inside the walls of the Church, controlled by the very masters they served. Every generation has the opportunity to gain more knowledge in large part due to access ie: the internet. This access has empowered many to break generational curses and harmful traditions. We were programmed by the untrue statement "hard work always pays off," you'd have to be damn near a magician to convince a slave of such a thing.. This vibration is for all our elders past and present, and all those who struggle to live their full potential due to fear, and the toxic nature of their environment. Peace love and more lyfe to all. 🌳 - Tree of Lyfe Produced by Sin: follow Sin on IG: https://www.instagram.com/soulfulgrows/ Filmed, recorded and edited by BrillianceLMTD productions.

Yea Kill the ego an pride in me Lost my best friend by refusing To lie to E Every bitch that I met here Done lied to me Grew up a witness and guess what I witnessed? People who told me they loved me, They didn’t. How this the truth when it’s lies All up in it Think of Michael Did it make a nigga psycho Where does life go? When your death is arrival Cannot fix it It was written in the bible Tho I’m gifted I was hit wit vitiligo Lot a mischief In the only world that I know What do I know? Get a grip & take the high road here [Tree of Lyfe Chorus] I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard Devil workin’ harder Head stuck under water Life been gettin’ darker I been gettin’ smarter Yea, yea I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard Devil workin’ harder Head stuck under water Life been gettin’ darker I been gettin’ smarter [Tree of Lyfe Verse 2] Uh, Look at me Look at me Look at me Outta my hood Like where should I be? It’s over ain’t no understood in me Life is a bitch But she good to me At work i’m a slave But I shouldn’t be My boss is a liar A crook to me My eyes have been opened I couldn’t see Every owner is enemy industry altered my energy taught me to rise up While ya’ll niggas took a knee I can’t go back to the crib That ain’t the space where you live Baby that’s crazy as shit Down here in Hades Mercedes is whip need a vacation My life been a trip I’ll lose my mind if I don’t get a grip Shit, look Life is too short I report to me Govern my mental psychology I’m bout my mathmatics Like actuaries If this life is a gamble I’m betting heavy work for myself & the blessings vary I’m a visionary If your vision scary You next one buried With some pretty flowers In a cemetery [Tree of Lyfe Chorus] I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard Devil workin’ harder Head stuck under water Life been gettin’ darker I been gettin’ smarter Yea, yea I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard I been workin’ hard Devil workin’ harder Head stuck under water Life been gettin’ darker I been gettin’ smarter Yea
