EAll my life been sittin' at the table
EWatchin' them kids, they're living in a fable
ELooks, luck, money and never left a'wishin'

But now it's 'bout time to raise up and petition
EAll my life been sittin' at the table
EWatching them kids, they're living in a fable
ELooks, luck, money and never left a'wishin'

Now it's 'bout time to stand up and petition
[Chorus]
E'Cause I've been wondering
