My Own Two Feet

[Verse 1]
See that man at the end of the street
He needs a little money and a bite to eat
But look at me I'’ve got college loans
And I just passed my limit on my cell phone
He needs a place to stay he needs a place to lay
He needs not to be alone at the end of the day
Yeah, He needs love
So I dug down deep into my jeans until I realized
All I had was a twenty
And just too much money
Too much to risk the guy probably’d get up and just use it for a fix

[Chorus]
So I found myself in the middle of the street
Step by step just marchin'’ to the beat
Not thinkin'’ bout no one, not bout anybody
Just stepping in the shoes of my own two feet
And they’re tied so tight
And they’re running my life
Cause they’'ve convinced me I’m the only one

[Verse 2]
People approaching me without hesitation
Asking me for some kind of donation
Give me a break, money don’t grow on trees
I’'ve got kids to feed, I’'ve got a wife to please

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I’m the one that matters I’m the one that counts
I’m still gaining ground I’m still gaining ground
Yeah I am getting more and I ain’'t slowin’' down
All for me

And they’re tied so tight
And they'’ve ruined my life
‘Cause they convinced me that I was the only one

[Chorus]

[Outro]
