Eiffel 65 - Blue (KNY Factory Remix)

One-T - The Magic Key

Some ladies bake, some ladies sew
Some raise their babies where the roses grow
But I punch in at 5 AM
To keep the lights on, feed my men
I mop the floors, I stock the shelves
I do the job they wouldn’t do themselves
I don’t wear pearls, I don’t wear lace
But I hold this family in place
I have to work, I don’t get rest
I give my all, I give my best
I don’t ask much, just a little grace
From the country I still embrace
I have to work, I have to fight
To keep my babies warm at night
I don’t want handouts, just a chance
To stand with pride and circumstance
My sister drives a rig all week
She misses birthdays, barely sleeps
She sends her checks to mama’s rent
And wonders where her youth went
My neighbor’s got three jobs and none
Come with health or setting sun
She tucks her kids in worn-out beds
And dreams of college in her head
I have to work, I don’t get rest
I give my all, I give my best
I don’t ask much, just a little grace
From the country I still embrace
I have to work, I have to fight
To keep my babies warm at night
I don’t want handouts, just a chance
To stand with pride and circumstance
We build your roads, we clean your schools
We break our backs, we bend your rules
We love this land, we sing its song
But wonder where the help’s gone
I kiss my boy before the bus
He says, “You’re strong, you work for us”
And in that voice, I hear the sound
Of every woman battlin’ ground
We don’t need medals, don’t need fame
Just someone sayin’ our name
We are the ones who hold the line
And love this country like it’s mine
I have to work, I don’t get rest
I give my all, I give my best
I don’t ask much, just a little grace
From the country I still embrace
I have to work, I have to fight
To keep my babies warm at night
I don’t want handouts, just a chance
To stand with pride and circumstance
I have to work…
I have to work…
But I still love this land…
Even when it don’t understand…

I Have to Work by ♨️ 🍪

A stark portrait of love fading in the digital age: a woman lies beside her partner, lit only by his phone’s glow—scrolling through a world she’s no longer in. They share a bed, but the silence between them says it all. This song captures the paradox of physical closeness, emotional distance, and love quietly unravelling.
