You have to work to gain
At times it takes heart ache and pain
People think it can be earned
Through riches and life lessons learned
Some think it's the key to life
But for me I have to think twice
Would it change who I am
Or would it bring me happiness
How can I gain what very few obtain
Without being successful
Some people are born into it
Some people work hard to gain it
Some are just lame and can't maintain it
But for me I will have it
And the respect that comes with it
Because of the almighty that provides it
Power
