Chorus (repeat 3 times) :
F G C F
You?ve gotta look up , don?t look down on me
Yeah !
G F G F
Just respecting me won?t keep you alive
G F G F
All the tricks you pulled and those you tried
Chorus
I wake up in the morning and it?s a quarter to five
I?m breathing deep to tell me I?m still alive
Fo-fo-for selling education and make a monkey out of me
If I hang around any longer I?ll be walled up then
D D F C
If I don?t fit for your invitation
I don?t meet your expectation
If you own the talk the man?s to be treated
D C
Just give me one in five
You?ve gotta look up , don?t look down on me (repeat 4 times)
Don?t look down on me !

C D F
Ain?t nothing left for you to do now
G# C C
Ooooh, Aaaah
He hanged around the streets where I come from
They said she calls ?cause they?re angry I?m singing my song
One man speaks in her hears, another talk us fun
Oh how these around me are now on the show
If I don?t fit for your invitation
I don?t meet your expectation
If you own the talk the man?s to be treated
Just give me one in five
You?ve gotta look up , don?t look down on me (repeat 4 times)
Don?t look down on me !
Don?t look down on me !
Don?t look down on me !
Don?t look down on me !
