Get What's Mine
Ellie Lawson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just you wait, it'll come around
It always does, don't you worry
Hold on tight, keep a calm
Don't be fooled, don't be alarmed

They say good things come to those who wait
But I've been waiting
Oh such a long time

I'm gonna get what's mine
I'm gonna get What's mine
You can't pull the wool over my eyes
I'm gonna get what's mine
No time to lose

Yes I've been hesitant, I've been hesitant
But my history, It gives me strength
I'm better than before

The days Were passing by while I was with you
We were wrong together, don't you see
Now I've got to think about me

I'm gonna get what's mine
I'm gonna get What's mine
You can't pull the wool over my eyes
I'm gonna get what's mine

It's too easy despising another for what you hate in your life
Fighting your people instead of using insight
Wise eyes identify why wise eyes look away sometimes
Curbed from the day I was born, need to perform, torn
Raw energy like a storm keeping on form
Worn down by the definite day to day pressure
Didn't you think I would try and get better

I'm gonna get what's mine
I'm gonna get
What's mine
You can't pull the wool over my eyes
I'm gonna get what's mine
No time to lose

My firm ambition is my ammunition
I'm dissin' on those time wasters that never listen
I'm on a mission lyrics lick like kissing
So sly I'm hissing frisky renditions issuing my skills
I'm flippin' sick of sitting still
Waiting for those fake money makers to get real
It'll build in steal my will and way is my fortune

I'm dishing up my mind in mighty large portions
Call me the magical one born Ellie Lawson
My form dawning on the scene so what with caution




Gonna break it down to ya just like this
Every time coming through to the brightness
