Can you read the determination on my face; i'm as solid as the gravel now. |
|
Cause i kept getting on my feet after all the times you knocked me down. |
|
Went back to see the place i came from and i began to understand my pride |
|
From the brick streets a northern factory town where grandma's work improved my chances |
|
Common man, this is me, i'm not ashamed to be here i am this is me. |
|
I'm glad you're uncomfortable near me |
|
Never had nothin never no one to care, nothin but the wind in my hair, still i'm a millionaire |
|
You see me standin out on fifth and union right across from the abandoned drive-in |
|
The sun's gone down on the future here, the past one leaves my mind |
|
The rich boys gave up on you but the soul out here is much too strong |
|
And i'll carry it with me for my whole life, the face of human dignity |
|
I don't have to be the boy with the most cake. i don't have to be the boy with the most cake |
|
Still i'm a millionaire. |
