A Little Work

  • Got a lot of answers I'm looking for in these meds
    'Bout time I talk to somebody, shrink my head
    A lot of promises, broken things that were said
    And I can't get out of this bed
    Got bruises on my heart, plenty scars on my mind
    Got blisters under the band-aid over my life
    Gonna rip it open and show the world what's there
    Lord knows I'm not perfect

    When everything around me starts to fall
    I rise up again to the call

    We're all just a little bit broken (yeah)
    We're all just a little bit hurt (yeah)
    We've all got wounds half open (yeah)
    We all can use a little work
    A little work
    A little

    Gotta wait, first of the month to pick up that check
    He bounced, and left, it was over, never came back
    Had a lot of questions 'bout daddy after he left
    Now it's just mama and them kids, and she said
    "I'll hold it down, don't you worry, we'll find a way
    No matter how, I'll make sure the bills get paid"
    She gave it all and thank god their mouths got fed
    She prayed the cycle would end

    When everything around us starts to fall
    We rise up again to the call

    We're all just a little bit broken (yeah)
    We're all just a little bit hurt (yeah)
    We've all got wounds half open (yeah)
    We all can use a little work
    A little work
    A little

    Sometimes when you feel like you need it
    They send in the medic, woah
    But if it's your soul that is bleeding
    That slow drip won't help it, no
    It's time to get up to the front of the line
    They cut to the battle and straight for the mind
    Well, well, well, well
    There's nothing that's holding you down
    Stuck on the ground, far from the ground
    'Cause you are a warrior more than you know

    We're all just a little bit broken (yeah)
    We're all just a little bit hurt (yeah)
    We've all got wounds half open (yeah)
    We all can use a little work
    A little work, a little, a little
