Lyrics
Saving for tickets for the lottery
Saving money in anticipation of winning a lottery
Thinking you got your eyes on the prize
Believing that you have your sights set on winning
Don't know much about biology
Not knowledgeable about biology
But I can see the well's running dry
Observing that resources are depleting
Wonder why
Expressing curiosity or questioning
Blind lemon, are you trying hard
Addressing someone named Blind Lemon, questioning their efforts
Once bitten twice shy
After a negative experience, being cautious the second time
How come you never seem to follow your heart
Asking why there's a lack of pursuing desires or passions
Do you remember who you are
Asking if the person remembers their identity
Do you remember where you're coming from
Inquiring about the person's origins and journey
from the country heading uptown
Describing a journey from rural to urban areas
You're on a power trip
Being on an ego-driven quest for power
And you're going too far, and I
Warning that ambitions are becoming excessive
Wonder why
Reiterating curiosity or questioning
Blind lemon, are you trying so hard?
Continuing to question Blind Lemon's efforts
Once bitten twice shy
Reiterating caution after a negative experience
How come you never seem to follow your heart
Asking about the lack of pursuit of personal desires
You were born to follow
Stating a belief that the person is meant to follow
Trying so hard to take the lead
Trying hard to take a leading role
Give the people what they wanna hear
Advising to give the audience what they want
What keeps you going
Questioning what motivates the person to continue
Give the people what they wanna hear
Reiterating the advice to cater to audience expectations
Only if you can own it
Underlining the importance of genuinely owning what is presented
