[Verse 1] See that man at the end of the street He needs a little money and a bite to eat But look at me I'’ve got college loans And I just pa**ed my limit on my cell phone He needs a place to stay he needs a place to lay He needs not to be alone at the end of the day Yeah, He needs love So I dug down deep into my jeans until I realized All I had was a twenty And just too much money Too much to risk the guy probably’d get up and just use it for a fix [Chorus] So I found myself in the middle of the street Step by step just marchin'’ to the beat Not thinkin'’ bout no one, not bout anybody Just stepping in the shoes of my own two feet
And they’re tied so tight And they’re running my life Cause they’'ve convinced me I’m the only one [Verse 2] People approaching me without hesitation Asking me for some kind of donation Give me a break, money don’t grow on trees I’'ve got kids to feed, I’'ve got a wife to please [Chorus] [Bridge] I’m the one that matters I’m the one that counts I’m still gaining ground I’m still gaining ground Yeah I am getting more and I ain’'t slowin’' down All for me And they’re tied so tight And they'’ve ruined my life ‘Cause they convinced me that I was the only one [Chorus] [Outro]
