I Won't Need A Hand Out

Some hold their hand out, Cause they will never try.
This means we support them, Until the day they die.
Anytime words are empty that's why trust is gone.
When you have no credit, everything is always pawned.

Chorus:
I couldn't say what I'd do, In some places people are.
Even though I've been lucky, I still have many scars.
I've faith to chase dreams, I have my daddy's pride,
I won't need a handout, As long as God is my guide.

My daddy stood on his own, Only took what he earned,
He said life's full of lessons, Each one must be learned.
He didn't depend on others, He had no empty shelves,
And he would often say a man always helps himself.

Chorus:
I couldn't say what I'd do, In some places people are.
Even though I've been lucky, I still have many scars.
I've faith to chase dreams, I have my daddy's pride,
I won't need a handout, As long as God is my guide.
