be what you are (single version)

Oh man, you heard enough
Trying to live a risking life
Dont go out and buy a Cadillac
If you know your money aint right
Fun is so much easier
When within your mean
If you cant afford caviar
Dont be ashamed to eat pork and beef, yeah

Im only saying put some thought into it
Be what you are, my friend
And live the life
Be what you are, my friend
And live the life
Just because you made this child
Attend some private school
You try to send yours
Knowing only time will really might able to
Dont try to live like a king, yeah
