Everybody wants a piece of the pie, but you can't take a bite, no you can't take a bite out of me. Every time prosperity rains, ain't gonna bet, no ain't gonna bet what I need. Nothing to show for it. Everything that you're working for. That's why I take it one day at a time, I've got good sounds and I feel fine. Diggin' out deep from under my whole, Diggin' out deep from within my soul. Diggin' out. I, I and I am who will help myself. I, I and I am who is self - propelled. Everybody wants a piece of the pie, but you can't take a bite, No you can't take a bite out of me. You cut me open when I cut you slack. That's why I don't, I don't look back. Nothin' to show for it, everything that you're working for. That's why I take it one day at a time, I've got good sounds and I feel fine. I am who will help myself.
