Some have the right connection Everything they're touching's turnin' to gold Star and car collection at seventeen years old All my life, I have strived To do what they do in a day If you could see what's surroundin' me Then you'd know what I say I have learned now, sister It's my turn now, mister I want a piece of the action I want a piece of the pie Let me tell ya that I want a piece of the action I want a piece of the pie Before I die It happens in just a minute Or that what appears to be But that ain't why I'm in it The music's more important to me If I could play everyday And hear 'em singin' along Then I'd be a rich man, see 'Cause you'd know my song Ain't a lot I'm askin' Just a shot I'm askin' I want a piece of the action I want a piece of the pie Let me tell ya that I want a piece of the action I want a piece of the pie Before I die, before I die Before I die, oh, before I die Snot-nosed cognate punks Man, they ain't got a clue Wipin' their a**es With my hundred dollar bill It pisses my off! I can't see the attraction I don't care how many units you sold Just gimme that kind of action All this crap is gettin' way too old I'm tired of sittin' on the goddamn couch! I want a piece of the action Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay I want a slice of the pie Let me tell ya that I want a piece of the action I want a piece of the pie Before I die, before I die Before I die, before I die Before I die, before I die Before I die Before I roll up, dried-up rotten die!
