Lyrics
It’s not that I am selfish I just wanted
To have a couple fine and fancy things
Somehow I put together after ages of effort
A considerable gain
The path was there to find
I uncovered mine
And I enjoy the height I climbed
When I decided I would need to
Utilize the aptitude I own
I knew I couldn’t build a wall around or
Stifle what’s inclined to grow
The results are in
This time I win
And I enjoy my resources
I can relax
Look how I have
Heard my cries convert to laughs
Better not to wake me please
I’m living my wildest dreams
Following stress
There is time for rest
And I enjoy my success
It’s not that I am selfish I just wanted
To have a couple fine and fancy things
