WHEN AM I GOING TO MAKE A LIVINg - Sade
When am I gonna make a living
It's gonna take a while
before I give in
See the people fussing and theiving
While the sharks are
wheeling and dealing
Gotta look up and tell yourself
there's no end to what you can do
They'll waste your body and soul
if you allow them to
This is time to start
believing in yourself
Put the blame on no-one else
When am I gonna make a living
It's gonna take a while
before I give in
See the people fussing and stealing
Too many lies no-one is achiveing
Haven't I told you before
we're hungry for a life
we can't afford
There's no end to what you can do
If you give yourself
a chance to prove
We're 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
There's no end to what you can do
They'll waste your body and soul
if you allow them to
Start believing in yourself
Put the blame on no-one else

When am I gonna make a living
It's gonna take a while
before I give in
Yes it is
I'm sick and tired of
scratching a living
I am hungry but
I'm not gonna 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
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're gonna win
