(Chorus)
Yea, I know what I want
So I gotta work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece

And I know what I want
So I have to work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
Best believe, I'll get my piece

(Verse 1)
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 up in a war by the enemy
Misery... Explain it to me?
How it is to fucking wake up with a hungry tummy?
Having no money, just living poor
Can't imagine how it's like for a little boy
To wake up in these circumstances
His momma gonna die tomorrow, she's got cancer
Question mark? He needs an answer!
'Cuz the rest of his life he's gonna be a camper
And this is making me appreciate...
The agony and sorrow, I alleviate
I gotta start a legacy and recreate
And take care of my fam' like a man, never deviate!

(Chorus)
Yea, I know what I want
So I gotta work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece

And I know what I want
So I have to work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
Best believe, I'll get my piece

(Verse 2)
Life is dark in 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 seeing much clearer
I worked so hard in how I came about
My life has been okay! Got nothing to complain about
Nah, but I've been sorry for a minute
Why couldn't everybody just be winning (really, really)
But really, I kinda get it though
The fittest will survive, but the weak wont, it's ridicule!
We really need to be realistic
Million people dying from hunger, it's egotistical
And we're supposedly sophisticated sapiens
Alot of people don't believe in God, too many atheists!
And to me, this is the craziest
That we don't even know this planet, like we're some aliens

(Chorus)
Yea, I know what I want
So I gotta work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece

And I know what I want
So I have to work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
Best believe, I'll get my piece

(Verse 3)
I express myself with some aggression
I'm grateful I had parents that taught me some life lessons
The essence to my madness is foolish
Imma grind, and I know what I got, I ain't gonna lose it
I ain't stupid, but maybe I got a screw loose?
Because I talk to myself, you say I'm coocoo?
Whatever man, screw you!
I ain't tryina be somebody else, just to move you
My momma said: "stay true"
And my daddy always shouted out: "be you!"
I ain't tryina be shallow, I try to see through
Had to get the money, 'til money became lethal
Homie, I ain't tryina be a preacher
I ain't tryina change, but money can change people
Just know that every man is a savage
Imma get the bread, while I be walking through Paris!

(Chorus)
Yea, I know what I want
So I gotta work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do what I have to
I know Imma get my piece

And I know what I want
So I have to work everyday, knowing nothing in this life is free
And I know what I need, so I gotta do
