Covet

I heard early in life you deal with the hand you're dealt

but it was unconcerned words from people who never felt or never needed

i pleaded so many times to be seated among the wealthy

only to be greeted with a blank look for looking for help

you can see it in my face got me dreaming and even this place

to obtain a better life for mine and aspire to provide for my wife and I

i never been afraid to use my hands or get em dirty in fact I work just as hard as any other man

if i could get just one wish my hope would be to get one chance to strike it rich and switch my circumstance

and advance myself and count myself as one of them you know them the ones who never have to pretend to be who have money for everything who never have any enemies who write checks then check out

never have to worry about anything

i wanna live like that cuz what they got's a lot more cunning than what I got and they got no care for me so i should just take a little bit of what they got why not?

fast forward past my formative years then it appears im stuck here looking back on wasted years

and i got nothing to look forward to unclear where to steer where to go or how to get far from here
