Mindin' My Own Business
Navigating Life's Turmoil: Big Bill Broonzy's Wisdom
Lyrics
I'm just mindin' my own business
I am focusing on my own affairs
Lord, and I'm leavin' other peoples alone
I avoid meddling in others' matters
Yeah, I'm just mindin' my own business
Continuing to mind my own business
Oh, and I'm leavin' other peoples alone
Avoiding interference in other people's affairs
Oh, because I got plenty of trouble
I face enough troubles in my own life
Already in my home
My home already has its share of difficulties
Good book proudly tell you
The Bible teaches that you reap what you sow
You gotta reap just what you sow
Consequences are in proportion to your actions
Good book proudly tell you
Reinforcing the idea of reaping what you sow
You gotta reap just what you sow
Emphasizing the law of cause and effect
I declare you gotta repay, hoo, Lord
Stating the necessity to repay one's debts
I don't care why you go
Indifferent to the reasons for repayment
Some men spend all their money on gamblin'
Some men spend their money on gambling
All in good time
Highlighting the inevitability of consequences
Yeah, some men spend all their money on gamblin'
Reiterating the theme of spending on gambling
Baby, in good time
Timing is crucial in facing consequences
Oh, but why should I worry
Expressing a carefree attitude
When I do what I wanna do with mine
Asserting independence in decision-making
It take me six months to attend to my business
Allotting time to attend to personal matters
Six months to leave other peoples alone
Dedicating time to avoid involvement in others' affairs
Six months to attend to my business
Repeating the cycle of focusing on personal matters
Six months to leave other peoples alone
Continuing to avoid interfering with others
Yeah, by the time I do that
After completing this cycle, a year has passed
I declare the whole twelve months is gone
Highlighting the passage of time
