Gimme Mine

Ever since I was a young boy
I wondered what to be
Watching all the grownups
Shaking on the money tree
You know that
Everybody’s got their places
Everyone fits just fine
All except me, Lord
Now when You gonna gimme mine?
All across the nation
(Everywhere)
People do their things
(Pulling their hair)
Pushing on buttons
And pulling on different strings
You know that everybody’s got their places
Everyone fits just fine
All except me, Lord
Now when You gonna gimme mine?
Now when You gonna gimme importance
When You gonna gimme wealth
When You gonna make me like
Everybody else?
I got to get me a high position
Got to get me a Cadillac
Got to get me a raise
I got to get me a heart attack
You know that everybody’s
Got their places
Everyone fits just fine
All except me, Lord
Now when You gonna gimme mine?
Oooh working at the Neiman Mark-ups
Working at the five and dime
Got to have the money
Gonna make it in the nick of time
You know that
You know that everybody’s
Got their places
Everyone fits just fine
All except me, Lord
Now when You gonna gimme mine?
