(They call me Mr. Tips) When it was crumbs, scraps, pennies, pats Everything was fine They treat me like a loaded gun When I ask for what is mine Always try to dim my light, no matter how bright I shine I've got my standards And I'll never let'em die Not because of pride You're not bleeding me dry Cannot abide I got my head on a swivel this time Why would I let you just twist it aside I catch a fever when they aimin' at the way I live my life These are my standards I ain't gon' never never let'em die I ain't gon' never never let'em die I ain't gon never never let'em die These are my standards When I called for help You didn't pick up your phone You saw my kingly potential So you kept me from my throne The truth is I'm demonized For standing my own ground So you push me to the deep end Hoping I'd drown But I got my, I got my I ain't gon' never never let'em die I ain't gon' never never let'em die I ain't gon' never never let'em die These are my standards 'Cause I won't let ya treat me so unfair Don't I deserve my God-given share Whether I've got a dollar or I'm a billionaire These are my standards I ain't gon' never never let them die Because of pride Losing my spine (Cannot abide) I got my head on a swivel this time Why would I let ya (Why would I let y) I catch a fever when they aimin' at the way I live my life These are my standards That I'm never lettin' die
