All this weight that’s put on my back
What’s it gonna take to make it crack
It takes all I’ve got just to get by Can’t get ahead no matter what I try
Think everything I do is wrong
And that I have waited for too long
To do what’s right and be a man
You could never understand
I won’t break my stride
I’ll never lose my pride
Well all I’ve got it’s all for me I won’t live for your society
It takes all I’ve got just to make ends meet
So what I’ve got it belongs to me The ones that matter stick by my side
And give me strength to stay in stride
