Born Under a Bad Sign

Money don't just happen
She said "la la la"
Carefree walking down the avenue
The thing is don't you know
You need a little to get going?
And you ain't got a little now, do you?

Let's talk about times
About hard times when you done wrong
Yes. I know the once
When somebody gives you a break
Boy. You better get going
Hesitate and it's gone

What I got is gonna help me get what's mine
I'm born under a badly busted sign
Lack of luck and poverty combined
I'm born under a badly busted sign

One look was all it took
She had me pinned down, figured out
In retrospect, it ain't that hard to tell
I was taught just how to steal
I was taught just when to lie
I set out, and it worked pretty well

Let's talk about times
About hard times when you done wrong
Yes. I know the once
When somebody gives you a break
Boy. You better get going
Hesitate and it's gone

What I got is gonna help me get what's mine
I'm born under a badly busted sign
Lack of luck and poverty combined
I'm born under a badly busted sign

I'm born under a badly busted sign
Born under a badly busted sign

What I got is gonna help me get what's mine
I'm born under a badly busted sign
Lack of luck and poverty combined
I'm born under a badly busted sign

What I got is gonna help me get what's mine
I'm born under a badly busted sign
Lack of luck and poverty combined
I'm born under a badly busted sign

What I got is gonna help me get what's mine
I'm born under a badly busted sign
Lack of luck and poverty combined
