Simple Man

Simple man

I've got power
The power to survive
I'm no coward
I'll stand up for my rights
With a right hook ready
And a gleam in my eye
My woman says
Go get 'em babe,
You're doing it right

I consider myself to be a simple man
I get up every morning
And I stick to the plan
I may have lost some jive along the way
But that don't mean my momma raised no fool in her day

A while ago
They kicked me out the door
Said they didn't need me
at their place no more
It hit a nerve and it hurt to the bone
My whole identity was tied up to that world

I've got power

Some cool cat thinking he can see right through me
With a screen in the hand
You're a superhuman
A flatlined statistic is all you got
I'll show you that within a man there is a beating heart

It took me a while to bounce back on my feet
And at the table
are still no vacant seats
But I see it very clearly
From this new point of view
Don't let no corporate a-hole
Get the better of you
