[x2]

Begging and a-crying people (I don't want it)

Begging and a-crying people (I don't need it)

Begging and a-crying people (Soon won't be)

Begging and a-crying people all around me

[Chorus]

'Cause I just need to, need to make my mark

Negotiate, compromise, no, I'll just a continue on

Pow! Pow! Bullets to the right of me

Shattered glass the left

Duck, crawl, wounded on the floor

Still I continue

[Verse]

Nothing you say, nothing you say

Nothing can change my mind

To Jesus you pray, and to him you say

"Don't make us stay, deliver us"

[Chorus]

[Verse]

Is this what it takes for me to make

For me to make you respond?

So here's what it takes, these are the stakes

To have a voice these days

'Cause I'm an energy vampire

Dying from starvation

[repeat to end]

Begging and a-crying people (I don't want it)

Begging and a-crying people (I don't need it)

Begging and a-crying people (Soon won't be)

Begging and a-crying people all around me
