Lyrics
Why should I be rewarded
Questioning the justification for being rewarded for work done by others in the past.

I am reaping what was sewn before my time

And god, does it feel sordid

This love I have afforded

You broke your back so I could straighten mine

Marsha love, your soul was not a crime

And every time I speak my truth

It's hard not to resent it

And in the early hours
