Mirah - Rich lyrics

[Hook: Mirah] Oo I really wanted that thing I just want to sing Oo I really wanted that thing I just want to sing Oo I really wanted that thing I just want to sing Oo I really wanted that thing I just want to sing [Verse One: G, The Wiz] Get rich die trying it's the American way Be poor with love it's the Canadian way Not many will say from the day to day Marching through the trenches Not many will even mention That we're struggling Fighting To get a better a pay What the f** can you raise with a minimum wage? So I stopped working small and began to dream big Threw out my old heart with a sympathetic fault I'm hungry for the check; I don't wanna pay the rent I'm living in a city where nothing ever happens So give me a break so I can scratch the itch Lottery tickets; I just wanna be rich [Hook: Mirah] You don't want me anymore How can it be? Look what you've done to me Oo I really wanted that thing I just want to sing Oo I really wanted that thing I just want to sing [Verse Two: G, The Wiz] I wanna be rich, I wanna be rich I don't wanna flip burgers serve coffee and sh** I also have a dream don't I f**in' have a choice When I work a 9 to 5 I never get to use my voice I'm always tired, I'm always working When I get breaks, I'm always sleeping So f** it, i'm leaving There's no stopping of where I'm going I've got a plan and damn well I'll pursue it I ain't waiting for nobody Gotta be a little selfish If you wanna a little diamind you better swim in pond But if you want a lotta gold you got walk on an ocean Boost up your self-esteem give a lot of devotion To the craft that you mend with your deepest emotion No procrastinating no contemplating On a guy with a deal with a money bag in the hand Where the hell you gonna go when that sh** turns to sand You gotta pick up yourself and just go for yourself Forget the little voices that are inside of your head Before the rise comes a fall So don't wait for a call Keep the pen ins your hand and keep writing and all And when you least expect it expect a movement The reward that you'll get for getting out the ditch If you wanna be rich you can't be a little b**h [Hook: Mirah] You don't want me anymore How can it be? Look what you've done to me You don't want me anymore How can it be? Look what you've done to me Oo I really wanted that thing I just want to sing
