The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah, ah

Yeah, ah

Yeah, ah

Yeah, ah

I will pawn you my watch

I will pawn you my chain

I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings

'Cause I need it so bad

I would give you everything

Just so I could start my life over again

Sometimes you gotta let it go

Just to make it possible

Sometimes you gotta do it

Be willing to lose it

Freedom has no price, you know

Thinking how we gonna make it now

How we gonna feed the babies now

We gonna make it through it

God gonna see to it

Just get up and do it now

I will pawn you my watch

I will pawn you my chain

I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings

'Cause I need it so bad

I would give you everything

Just so I could start my life over again

Get on up (hey), get on up (hey)

Get on up (hey), get on up (hey), get on up (hey)

See, I learned the hard way

Now I'm doing it in my way

'Cause life is too short to fall in New York

Can't get up and get away

So I gotta let it all go

Start back from zero

'Cause I've give it up, I don't give a fuck

As long is my hero

I will pawn you my watch

I will pawn you my chain

I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings

'Cause I need it so bad

I would give you everything

Just so I could start my life over again

I will pawn you my watch

I will pawn you my chain

I will pawn you these gold and diamond rings

'Cause I need it so bad

I would give you everything

Just so I could start my life over again

Get on up (hey), get on up (hey)

Get on up (hey), get on up (hey), get on up (hey)
