A long time ago….
I signed my life away to “this thing” I call my own
(the) path I chose, (the) dues I’ve paid,
I’ve given everything, how much more can 1 Man take?
MOTHER!...... why can’t you HEAR me?
I’ve spilt my blood, day by day, to Make Ends Meet
And still I struggle hard, Everyday, to Believe
I’ve paid my Dues, done my time, MADE MY BONES
well, I’ve been down before….
Dug myself out from the Grave, and brushed the dirt off of my face
It never rains, unless it pours
Can’t seem to catch a break, I’m callous from rejections
FATHER!...... why can’t you SEE me?
I’ve spilt my blood, day by day, to Make Ends Meet
And still I’m Pushing hard, Everyday, to Believe
I’ve paid my dues, MADE MY BONES
I’ve spilt my blood
(I’ve paid my dues, and I’ve done my time)
And still I struggle hard
(I sacrificed and risked it all, and I've proven that I do belong)
I’ve paid my Dues, and MADE MY BONES
I MADE MY BONES
