I have to fake it when I deal with the system My bills are on time but my pay always late I work for myself I won't work for no one else If I worked in a ditch I'd be rich I would not make it If I couldn't fake it It ain't no treason Just to look for freedom I want some money of my own I gotta bring my work home In a bus on the street On the beat in the heat I gotta fake with the law I gotta look like a pawn So I cook up a nook and look great As a straight I would not make it If I couldn't fake it It ain't no treason Just to look for freedom I wanna be rich I don't wanna work in a ditch I wanna be rich I don't wanna work in a ditch
