Be What You Are |
Oh man, you heard enough |
Trying to live a risking life |
Don’t go out and buy a Cadillac |
If you know your money ain’t right |
Fun is so much easier |
When within your mean |
If you can’t afford caviar |
Don’t be ashamed to eat pork and beef, yeah |
I’m not trying to tell you how to do it |
I’m only saying put some thought into it Be what you are, my friend |
And live the life |
Be what you are, my friend |
And live the life |
Just because you made this child |
Attend some private school |
You try to send yours |
Knowing only time will really might able to Don’t try to live like a king, yeah |
On a poor mans take |
That’s one reason there are so many |
People are hurting today, Lord |

Don’t try to live this high |
When you see your boss man do, yeah |
Just remember you work for him |
And he don’t work for you |
It was something that you want, oh And you know you can’t afford it Don’t be ashamed to a put a lid down on it hold it, yeah |
I’m not trying to tell you how to do it |
