Parvyn Kaur Singh - Get Mine lyrics

[Verse 1: L-FRESH The LION] There's a fire in my chest, man I'm feeling it It's alive and it drives me to excel at this So I rise up but when I finally get a bit I'm reminded that I'm still a second cla** citizen They tell me to go home but I come from here I can see it their eyes, they don't want me here They tell me to play hard but the game ain't fair Given a level playing field I'd make it rain out here If we were running a race and you gave me a handicap But turned around and had one of my legs detached Then say you set it up for me the best you could That ain't justice when I know I'm just as good [Pre-Chorus: L-FRESH The LION] We've been waiting but man its a long line And when we ask its always the wrong time They say, this is yours but what's yours is mine But yo, I gotta get mine [Chorus: Parvyn] Khali hathi ethe aaiye (With empty hands we came here) Assan sadhiyan oochiyan (Our expectations and dreams were high) Dhin raat ik karke keeti a**i kamayee (Day and night became one as we worked tirelessly) Sada Haq koi maar ni sakhda (No-one can take away our rights and success) [Verse 2: L-FRESH The LION] We done come from slums and villages Where when people disappear there ain't no witnesses We came up from the dust to manifest riches here So excuse my smile when they try tell me what struggle is Coz we done seen it all when we came here Worked two jobs to feed my seeds and make a name here Never been a slave to the game But to change it you need links to break the chains here I ride overdrive to make a lane here But I'm thankful my own kids'll be raised here They'll build a dynasty with what I made here But till then I'ma be stuck with the same deal [Bridge: Parvyn] Working all day and night Never giving up the fight You see me fall Back up till I get mine [Chorus: Parvyn] [Verse 3: L-FRESH The LION] So I tell it how it is, it's a pain to be in it Tryna stay sane playing the game that they give us They might ask what we want but they never really listen We will never feel change til we change the system And I tried to be part of it but lost my heart in it Tried to get by without being targeted When we make our own and work our backs off there's no vaseline when the man wants more (that's raw) I rise in the game with a flame (that's raw) My backs too strong for the cane (that's raw) Why do I gotta explain? all we want is a chance to be treated the same (that's raw) My people never beg on their knees (that's raw) We will never die for the cheese (that's raw) We would rather break the trap, I'll never fake the rap till the day that I'm gone [Pre-Chorus: L-FRESH The LION] [Chorus: Parvyn] [Bridge: Parvyn]
