and hide your hand
Working in the dark against

As sure as God made the

Trying to take the mote from
your neighbor's eyes
As sure as God made the rich and poor
You gonna reap just what you sow

just to sit in the fire
Trying to make a date with

Brother let me tell you as

You better leave that woman alone
Because one of these days
mark my word
You think that brother is going to work
And you'll sneak up and
knock on that door
That's all brother you'll knock no more
