Please put some change in my cup
I can't leave 'til I get enough
Don't be so stingy wit' yo' money
I'm just another bee whose gotta get his honey
I can hear the coins in ya pocket
Gives me one mo' reason to rock it
Let me influence yo' mind
Convince you to leave me a dime
At least, cuz I'm a beast & I will neva stop
Rock 'n' roll, until the day I drop
Until then I gotta make a livin'
Respect is earned only when it's given
Playin' songs as a street musician
But I've been thinkin' 'bout a brand new mission
Gotta blow up, so I can ditch my cup
Compose a masterpiece to make me erupt
Into a new improved type o' dude
But neva, eva change my attitude
Gotta love who ya are or you'll never make it
And the next deservin' soul will come & take it
So donate to a hell of a cause
Help put some food in my dog's paws
Don't hesitate, don't make me wait
Because a playa on the street don't have a pay rate
Come on people please gimme some hope
I promise I won't spend it all on dope
You have my word it's never absurd
Regardless of the things you may have heard
This world can be so damn cruel
Wise men gather just to follow a fool
But in the end, the truth will be revealed
Unless the bearer of it has their lips sealed
Let's not stray from my point, I need some green
I'm a blues singin' guitar playin' machine
No quit in me, I will never give up
So would ya please put some change in my cup
No quit in me, I will never give up
So would ya please put some change in my cup
