"Get What's Mine" lyrics

I'm just tryna keep all you people happy
But it leaves no happiness for my self
Leave the list that you had for me on the shelf
You need it done now, get somebody else's help

When the time comes and I'm feeling down and crappy
Gonna ask you for a favor in return
Don't leave me on the back to burn
Like when my teacher sat me in the back of the class to learn

I'm just tryna go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
I'm just tryna go and get what I need
But it brings me down, brings me down to my knees

I'm just tryna keep all of y'all content
If I can't, well, you can't say I never tried
Just tryna keep all y'all satisfied
Once again you go pushing me off aside

Used to care 'bout what you thought on y'all consent
Used to be a straight shooter but now I'm bent
Now your approval lost it's shine
So it's time for me to finally go and get what's mine

I'm just tryna go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
I'm just tryna go and get what I need
But it brings me down, brings me down to my knees

You said yourself where you're spread too thin
You burn yourself out at both your ends
You said you tell me time and time again
You pull the trigger just tell me when
You said yourself where you're spread too thin
You burn yourself out at both your ends
You said you tell me time and time again
Pull the trigger, just tell me when, yeah

I'm just tryna go and get now what's mine
And I will I said but all in good time
I'm just tryna go and get what I need
But it brings me down, brings me down to my knees
