Can you read the determination on my face I'm as solid as the gravel now And I kept gettin' on my feet after all The times you knocked me down Went back to see the place where I came from And I began to understand my pride From the brick streets, a northern factory town Where Grandma's work improved my chances Common man this is me I'm not ashamed anymore to be Here I am this is me I'm glad you're uncomfortable near me Never had nothin' never no one to care Never had nothin' Nothin' but the wind in my hair Still I'm a millionaire You see me standin' out on Fifth and Union Right across from the abandoned Drive-In The sun's gone down on the future here The past won't leave my mind Well, the rich boys gave up on ya But the soul out here is much too strong And I'll carry it with me for my whole life The face of human dignity Common man this is me I'm not ashamed anymore to be Here I am this is me I'm glad you're uncomfortable near me Yeah...me Common man this is me I'm not ashamed anymore to be Here I am this is me I'm glad you're uncomfortable near me Uncomfortable near me I don't have to be the boy with the most cake I don't have to be the boy with the most cake I don't have to be the boy with the most cake I don't have to be the boy with the most cake Still I'm a millionaire
