Mama told me not to try to be nobody

I listened to her

Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody

Looka here

Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul

I'll get through it

Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole

Listen to what I say

Got my mind on the matter

Sure as I tell ya

Now you know that's right

I look down at my hands and

I see labor burns

It's a part of livin

Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns

It's all on me

Got my mind on the matter

Sure as I tell ya

Now you know that's right
