Mama told me not to try to be nobody   I listened to her   Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody   Looka here   Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul   I'll get through it   Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole   Listen to what I say   Got my mind on the matter   Sure as I tell ya   Now you know that's right   I look down at my hands and   I see labor burns   It's a part of livin   Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns   It's all on me   Got my mind on the matter   Sure as I tell ya   Now you know that's right
