Lyrics
I want a piece of the action
I want a slice of the pie
I wanna get on the fast tract
And kiss all of this goodbye
It's time to follow in the antiques
It's time for raising the stakes
I've got the looks and the talents
And I've got whatever it takes
I did my beat in the army
I took a bullet in the head
When I got back to Savannah
And nobody give a damn
I got to find me a good job
I will want a two pair of shoes
I ain't ten thousand watt ads
Yes, I really paid, oh God, I've paid my dues
But I feel it coming, I feel it coming this time
And no one can stop it, no one can stop it now
Yes, I feel it coming, I feel it coming this time
And all the stupid tricks can go take a walk
And I've got dreams as big as New York
I started out in the gutter
I made it up through the street
I got my eye on pent house
A need that little penthouse, me
I'm gonna go for the glory
I'm gonna shoot for the moon
I want a piece of the action
And I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it soon
Yes, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it soon
