Текст песни Have I Earned It (feat. Tom Bailey) - Paul Nourigat

Have I earned it? Do I deserve it?
I wouldn't know what to do with luck, if it stared me straight in the face
I have not had much handed to me
No, I'm still stuck in this place

Been pretty good most of my life, helping others and trying to please
But how about that golden rule, shouldn't it work for me?

Have I earned it? Do I deserve it? Or is this my destiny?
All I want is a chance to rise up
Someone show me the way, please

Been running my ass off, two jobs, on the treadmill every damn day
Yeah I earn my rent, and I buy my food, but I got no spare change to play

Yeah, you got to spend less, and you got to work more
Or you get to work forever, they say
Hell, retirement, that's just a pipe-dream, if things keep going this way

Have I earned it? Do I deserve it? Or is this my destiny?
All I want is a chance to rise up. Someone show the way, please.

I wish I'd done this or that, yeah, I know I missed a few things along the way
I just wanna build a better life, have a little more time in my day

Have I earned it? Do I deserve it? Or is this my destiny?
All I want is a chance to rise up. Someone show me the way, please

I just wanna build a better life
