Chorus:
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
Best believe Imma get my piece
Memories is all I have
I'm happy I was born in the Promised Land
Can't say the same for my family
They was raised in the war body enemy
Misery, explain it to me
How it is to f**ing waking up with a hungry tummy
Having no money, just living poor
Can't imagine how it's like for a little boy
Uh, to wake up in these circumstances
His momma gonna die tomorrow, she got cancer
Question mark, he needs an answer
Cause the rest of his life is gonna be a ,.
What?
And this is making me appreciate
The agony and sorrow while alleviate
I gotta start the legacy and recreate
Take care of my family like a man
Chorus:
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
Best believe Imma get my piece
Life is dark and bad weather
Sometimes I have to lie to myself to feel better
Looking at the man in the mirror
It keeps reminding me reality is seen much clearer
I worked too hard and now I came about
My life is been ok , got nothing to complain about
No, but I be sorry for a minute
Why couldn't everybody just be winning, really, really?
Really I kinda get it, the fittest will survive, but the weak won't
It's ridicule! We really need to be realistic
Million people dying from hunger, it's
And we're supposed to,.
A lot of people don' believe in God
And to me this is the craziest, that we don't even know this planet
Chorus:
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
Best believe Imma get my piece
I express myself with some aggression
I'm grateful I had Paris to taught me some life lessons
The essence to my madness is foolish
I'm a.... and I know what I got, I ain't gonna lose it
I ain't stupid, or maybe I got a
Because I talk to myself, you say I'm coo coo
Whatever man, screw you
I ain't trying to be somebody else just to move you!
My momma said stay true
And my daddy always shut it out be you!
I ain't trying to be shallow, I'm trying to see through
Had to get to money 'till money became lethal!
Homie, I ain't trying to be a preacher
I ain't trying to change, but money could change people!
The story that every man is a savage
I'mma get to pray, while I'm walking to Paris!
Chorus:
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece
Yeah, I know what I want, so I gotta work every day
Knowing nothing in this life is free
I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
Best believe Imma get my piece
