"Get What's Mine" Lyrics

I'm just trying to keep all you people happy
But it leaves no happiness for myself
Leave the list that you had for me on the shelf
You need it done now, get somebody else's help
When the time come and I'm feeling down and crappy
Gonna ask you for a favor in return
Don't leave me on the back to burn
Like when my teacher sat me in the back of the class to learn

Cause I'm just trying to go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
And I'm just trying to go and get what I need
But it brings me down, brings me down to my knees

I'm just trying to keep all of y'all content
If I can't well you can't say I never tried
Just trying to keep all y'all satisfied
Once again you go and pushing me off aside
Used to care about what you thought and your consent
Used to be a straight shooter but now I'm bent
Now your approval lost its shine
So it's time for me to finally go and get what's mine.

Cause I'm just trying to go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
And I'm just trying to go and get what I need
But it brings me down, brings me down to my knees

You said yourself you're spread too thin
You burn yourself out at both your ends
You said you tell me time and time again
You pull the trigger just tell me when
You said yourself you're spread too thin
You burn yourself out at both your ends
You said you tell me time and time again
You pull the trigger just tell me when

I'm just trying to go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
And I'm just trying to go and get what I need
But it brings me down, brings me down to my knees
