Just imagine that you wake up one morning
You can find nothing to eat
And the sun brings down its heat
What a life
We have to struggle on the double; no matter how hard
I can't believe that I have to pay for freedom in this life
Two things in this life that you must accomplish
You have to put your head on your shoulder
Tell me something
Does it hurt to charge me, even though you know I have nothing; nothing
Please just let me be
Let me be; let me be
You must understand
What is my plan
You gotta comprehend
I'm just a man
I'm just human
I'm certain
You're not go'n press my button
You're not go'n press my button
Let me be, let me be, let me be
Let me be, let me be I say
Let me be
You have to struggle pan the double (I say)
You have to struggle pan the double
Mama always told me
You have to be strong, no matter what comes to you
You have to be a man in everything you do
Mama taught me well, she knows what she did raise
Mama didn't raise... no fool
Let me be, let me be
And everything I do, mama I do for you
Let me be, let me be
Mama, you are always there
You always care
Even when I was wrong
You hold on
I love you
I love you
