I'm Still Working
Resilience in Melody: Eric Assmar's Unyielding Blues Journey
Lyrics
They tried to get me in trouble
Facing attempts to create problems for me
They told me I should quit
Advised to give up or quit
They took away my best friend
Lost my closest companion
They even tried to silence me
Faced attempts to suppress or quiet me
But I’m still working
Despite challenges, I continue to work
Yeah, I’m still playing the blues
Persisting in playing the blues
And if you ask me what I see for the future
Asked about the future, I foresee playing the blues
I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure
Expressing commitment to playing the blues in the future
Somebody said I’m crazy
Labelled as crazy by someone
Somebody sent me medicine
Received medication as a response
Many folks told me
Many people suggested I couldn't continue in my current state
I couldn’t go on like this
Despite advice, I persist in my work
But I’m still working
Continuing to work despite challenges
Yeah, I’m still playing the blues
Staying true to playing the blues
And if you ask me what I see for the future
When questioned about the future, I affirm playing the blues
I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure
Reiterating the commitment to playing the blues in the future
You can take everything from me
Facing loss of possessions or status
You can dig a hole to push me in alive
Expressing resilience despite facing a difficult situation
You can play a bunch of spells on me
Confronting challenges, but confident in my abilities
But my mojo is on my side
Believing in my personal power and luck
And I’m still working
Continuing to work with determination
Yeah, I’m still playing the blues
Remaining dedicated to playing the blues
And if you ask me what I see for the future
When asked about the future, reaffirming the commitment to blues
You know, I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure
Assuring the persistence of playing the blues in the future
They tried to get me in trouble
Repeating attempts to cause trouble for me
They told me I should quit
Reiterated advice to quit or give up
They took away my best friend
Recalling the loss of a close friend
They even tried to silence me
Reflecting attempts to silence me
But I’m still working
Persisting in my work despite challenges
Yeah, I’m still playing the blues
Remaining committed to playing the blues
And no matter how old I am
Expressing a lifelong dedication to playing the blues
I’ll be playin’ the blues for sure
Affirming the continuous commitment to playing the blues
