you do it on your own,
do you hear me?
you do all the work with your own two hands,
you bring up your own calluses
and you be proud of them.
you do it on your own and you earn it,
you find your own sense of pride.
are you listening to me,
i said you do it on your own.
you let the world
be what the world is gonna be,
and you do you, no matter what, you do you.
whatever it takes, you pay your bills,
you keep your job and don't let anyone around you
tell you that you deserve any less.
you do it on your own,
you earn your own ego first
and maybe later you can learn some decency.
you do it on your own,
and maybe you'll find a better way
than anyone who went before you.
