I Ain'T
I ain't poor
I'm just broke
So I need to fix it
I want more
I won't choke
And I ain't gon' quit
With my hammer
I'm knocking down the walls of fear and shame
I will stand and deliver without a stammer
With my screwdriver
I'm screwing into my goals
Taking some risks and jumping like a diver
I ain't poor
I'm just broke
And I gotta fix it
I want more
I won't choke
'Cause I'm in it to win it
With my pliers
I'm holding fast to faith and work
I'm pulling out all the nails of doubt and I'm
twisting all deniers
With my wrench in hand
Dreams I'm building and tightening
My design will beautifully stand
As I said,
I ain't poor
I'm just broke
And now I'm fixing it
