Not gonna let my mother down
Not gonne let my brother down
I'm gonna earn my place at the table
Not gonne let my sister down
Not gonna let my father down
I'm gonna make my peace where I'm able
Ooo don't let me be no kind of burden
Just let me work and I will earn it
I want my life to have a purpose
Tell me if you think I deserve it
Not til I get to solid ground
Not til I get a bottom out
Will I see myself in the mirror
Not til my body is broken down
Not til my soul is in the clouds
Will I finally be somewhere peaceful
Don't let me be some kind of burden
Just let me work and I will earn it
I want my life to have a purpose
Tell me if you think I deserve it
Don't let me be some kind of burden
Just let me work and I will earn it
I want my life to have a purpose
Tell me if you think I deserve it
