Give me only what I need,
 it doesn't take too much ro keep me satisfied.
 Down to work for my money and earn my keep,
 hunger's got a way to tame a man's pride.

 Can we build it up?
 I know that we can,
 Let's get to work every woman and man.
 With pressure and time,
 I said I'm gonna get mine.

 I'm not asking for a throne and crown,
 I'm not pining for a starving queen,
 Tooth and nail will wear any man down,
 and my Mama keeps telling me I'm lookin' too lean.

 Can we build it up?
 I know that we can,
 Let's get to work every woman and man.
 With pressure and time,
 I said I'm gonna get mine.

 Take me out of this mudslide or never enough,
 Let me eat from the [bad word] right off of the tree.
 When God gets his rest because six days are just too rough,
 I can only pray he doesn't forget about me.
