Lyrics

When am I gonna make a living? Ooh, it's gonna take a while before I give in See the people fussing and thieving While the sharks are wheeling and dealing Gotta wake up and tell yourself There's no end to what you can do (what you do is up to you) They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to This is the time (ah-ah) To start believing in yourself (ooh, ooh) Put the blame on no one else When am I gonna make a living, living? Ooh, it's gonna take a while before I give in See the people fussing and stealing Too many lies, no one is achieving Haven't I told you before? We're hungry for a life we can't afford There's no end (no end) to what you can do (ooh, ooh) If you give yourself a chance, to prove We are hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we won't give in We're hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we won't give in Oh, there's no end to what we can do They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to Oh, start believing in yourself Put the blame on no one else Not gonna give in Hungry but we won't give in When am I gonna make a living? Ooh, it's gonna take a while before I give in, yes, it is I'm sick and tired of scratching a living I'm hungry but I'm not gonna give in, no Hungry but we won't give in (not gonna give in) Hungry but we won't give in (ooh, ooh) Hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we won't give in (we're gonna win) Hungry but we won't give in (not gonna give in) Hungry but we won't give in (ooh, ooh) Hungry but we won't give in Hungry but we're gonna win
