Shining Sons “Workers” (feat. Kiwi)Produced by Jedi  DOWNLOAD For International Workers Day, dedicated to all working people across the world Intellect: In this society we came up, raised in the struggle Working 9 to 5 hard grind, stress from the hustle My eyes grow muscles, trying hard to balance Cause the wage that you earn ain’t really what you deserve Jedi: So I wake up in the morning, still ain’t making enough Dollar after dollar every day rush All the blood, sweat and tears just to make ends Only paid just to work from the AM No time for the fam, hangin’ on the weekends Looking at the future better life you bringin’ They say our struggle is not meant to be heard Time is now, let’s show em what we really worth Intellect: Take it back to the 30’s, a generation full of hate Every day, the system is known to be crooked Once there is no food on your plate Manongs, Manangs, Hawaiian field workers, the Sakadas Back-breaking labor once the owners come in and rob us Jedi: 4,000 Filipinos leave the homeland Every single day tryna get it for the fam Teach in schools or care for the ill Swear in the Navy, work for dem dolla bills Stuck in the cubicle 4x4 These don’t cater to the people’s growth Came to the US with a degree Status went low now ya ain’t free Intellect: Flyin across the Atlantic, the land of the free she landed Plottin’ a plan to be stacking, but the government left her be stranded Giving care to the old, under the table her labor sold Crooked politicians do control, her story not really told, left in the cold Jedi: Take it to the present Grand Isle Shipyard Filipinos workers came to work abroad American dream was what they wanna be Discriminated, bowed down on they knees It wasn’t until 3 Filipinos died Came to the US so they can all strive Chained to the oil rig, flooded with lies Yellin out justice, keep up with the fight! Chorus: All the youth stand up for the workers (for the workers) All of you stand up for the workers (for the workers) Everybody stand up for the workers (for the workers) Everybody rise up for the workers (for the workers) Get up and organize with the workers (with the workers) Build the movement side-by-side with the workers (with the workers) Everybody mobilize with the workers (with the workers) Everybody get live with the workers (with the workers)

For International Workers Day, dedicated to all working people across the world
Intellect: 
In this society we came up, raised in the struggle 
Working 9 to 5 hard grind, stress from the hustle 
My eyes grow muscles, trying hard to balance 
Cause the wage that you earn ain’t really what you deserve 

Jedi: 
So I wake up in the morning, still ain’t making enough 
Dollar after dollar every day rush 
All the blood, sweat and tears just to make ends 
Only paid just to work from the AM 
No time for the fam, hangin’ on the weekends 
Looking at the future better life you bringin’ 
They say our struggle is not meant to be heard 
Time is now, let’s show em what we really worth 

Intellect: 
Take it back to the 30’s, a generation full of hate 
Every day, the system is known to be crooked 
Once there is no food on your plate 
Manongs, Manangs, Hawaiian field workers, the Sakadas 
Back-breaking labor once the owners come in and rob us 

Jedi: 
4,000 Filipinos leave the homeland 
Every single day tryna get it for the fam 
Teach in schools or care for the ill 
Swear in the Navy, work for dem dolla bills 
Stuck in the cubicle 4x4 
These don’t cater to the people’s growth 
Came to the US with a degree 
Status went low now ya ain’t free 

Intellect: 
Flyin across the Atlantic, the land of the free she landed 
Plottin’ a plan to be stacking, but the government left her be stranded 
Giving care to the old, under the table her labor sold 
Crooked politicians do control, her story not really told, left in the cold 

Jedi: 
Take it to the present Grand Isle Shipyard 
Filipinos workers came to work abroad 
American dream was what they wanna be 
Discriminated, bowed down on they knees 
It wasn’t until 3 Filipinos died 
Came to the US so they can all strive 
Chained to the oil rig, flooded with lies 
Yellin out justice, keep up with the fight! 

Chorus: 
All the youth stand up for the workers (for the workers) 
All of you stand up for the workers (for the workers) 
Everybody stand up for the workers (for the workers) 
Everybody rise up for the workers (for the workers) 

Get up and organize with the workers (with the workers) 
Build the movement side-by-side with the workers (with the workers) 
Everybody mobilize with the workers (with the workers) 
Everybody get live with the workers (with the workers)
