[04:09.35] | You know I want it, sure as Im icet |
[04:11.60] | I make records for you, but this ones for me |
[04:14.53] | You know what Im talkin bout out there |
[04:16.28] | Theres ways to sell out left and right |
[04:18.15] | But you aint got to do that |
[04:19.77] | Theres things more important than money |
[04:21.27] | Im talkin bout pride, Im talkin bout dignity |
[04:23.39] | You got it out there |
[04:24.64] | All you got to do is stand on your own two feet |
