Can you read the determination on my face; i`m as solid as the gravel now.
Cause i kept getting on my feet after all the times you knocked me down.
Went back to see the place i came from and i began to understand my pride
From the brick streets a northern factory town where grandma`s work improved my chances
Common man, this is me, i`m not ashamed to be here i am this is me.
I`m glad you`re uncomfortable near me
Never had nothin never no one to care, nothin but the wind in my hair, still i`m a millionaire
You see me standin out on fifth and union right across from the abandoned drive-in
The sun`s gone down on the future here, the past one leaves my mind
The rich boys gave up on you but the soul out here is much too strong
And i`ll carry it with me for my whole life, the face of human dignity
I don`t have to be the boy with the most cake. i don`t have to be the boy with the most cake
Still i`m a millionaire.
