Watching everyone doing their own thing
No one's watching you, or feeling what you bring
When they got something for you
They throw it in your face
It's like they show you what they got
Just to put you in your place
They say you gotta get yer own, but you don't own what you got
So, you got to get your own, but you don't own what you got
So your girl is calling you to come and play with her all night
But you got some shit to do, Gotta make your paper, right?
When you finally got that stack to bring around the finer things
You look around your girl done gone along wwith all her final things
They say you gotta get yer own, but you don't own what you got
So, you got to get your own, but you don't own what you got
