I been labelled 
I been named
I been working 
All my life
For better things

And I've been patient 
And been denied
All my life waiting 
Waiting all my life
Living with these feelings 
All my life

I've been libelled 
I've been framed
I've witnessed my survival
Like I've witnessed many things

And I've been slandered 
And I have been wronged
I've been waiting for "the good times" 
For so long
All my life
All my life.
