lyrics

Don’t waste your time waiting on nobody else
Don’t think nobody thinks about what you want
Don’t live your life on nobody else’s watch
Do for yourself

Don’t think Uncle Sam’s gonna take care of your ass
Cause even if he did, well every moment comes to pass
Make no excuses either you do or don’t
Do for yourself

I always dreamed of winning the lottery
Or maybe I’d find myself some rich sugar daddy
But even when I’ve had a taste of that sugar wine
It’s left me empty inside with nothing to call mine

So don’t be deceived by the hand that feeds you
Don’t you believe everything that anybody says
Don’t think that anybody else has your back
Do for yourself
