J.Appiah - I Aint Rich... Yet lyrics

rate me

I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying

Laying back in my bed

Looking up it’s so lonely

Looking back growing up

I wish someone woulda told me

Life's a pack of cards,

So play ‘em well till your old 


See, we used to dream so big

But what happened to that kid 


Work hard keep your head down

That’s how she raised me

I'm trying hard to break out

Of this cage that enslaves me

With no tie and no suit so they calling me lazy


Just words and my guitar

I hope they break these bars

I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying,

I said I’m really, really trying

Just bear with me 


Yeah, ‘cause I ain't giving up, giving up

When sometimes your closest expect you to fail them,

When whispers far away are wishing you well

It seems the only way to heaven seems to go through hell


And I'll wait patiently but would you wait for me? 


You work hard, keep your head down

That’s how my mother raised me 


I'm trying hard to break out of this cage

That enslaves my mind


With no tie and no shirt so they calling me lazy

Just words and my guitar, I hope they break these bars

I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying,

I said I’m really, really trying

Just bear with me 


Yeah, ‘cause I ain't giving up, giving up

To see my name in lights ain't the only thing

I'm wishing on a star

And I'm thinking ‘bout the future,

It’s not just me it’s all of us

But all I need is your trust

And I ain't rich yet, but I'm trying,

I said I’m really, really trying

Just bear with me 


Yeah, ‘cause I ain't giving up, giving up
