| Not gonna let my mother down
|
| Not gonna let my brother down
|
| I’m gonna earn my place at the table
|
| Not gonna let my sister down
|
| Not gonna let my father down
|
| I’m gonna make my peace where I’m able
|
| Ooh, don’t let me be no kind of burden
|
| Ooh, just let me work and I will earn it
|
| Ooh, I want my life to have a purpose
|
| Ooh, tell me if you think I deserve it
|
| Not 'til I got to solid ground
|
| Not 'til I really bottomed out
|
| Will I see myself in the mirror
|
| Not 'til my body’s broken down
|
| Not 'til my soul is with the clouds
|
| Will I finally be somewhere peaceful
|
| Ooh, don’t let me be no kind of burden
|
| Ooh, just let me work and I will earn it
|
| Ooh, I want my life to have a purpose
|
| Ooh, tell me if you think I deserve it |
