Slice of the Pie

[Verse 1]
My old man's got working hands
There ain't nothing he don't understand
He'd light a fire in a river bed
And his eyes are infrared
Your old man's hands are clean
Well I once saw him turn the pages of an upscale magazine
Tries to stay in the scene
And he fears becoming obsolete

[Chorus]
You don't judge a man
Just by the way he found to feed his children
Everybody wants a slice of a pie
They're just like you and I, tryna get by

[Verse 2]
I once met a sort of magical man
Eagle eyed and slight of hand
And he wanted me to play
But I didn't get the rules of the game
"Pick a card," he said, "Any old card"
Well I want one of them diamonds of hearts
Know I say it much too late
But he will be an ace with the spades

[Chorus]
You don't judge a man
Just by the way he found to feed his children
Everybody wants a slice of a pie
They're just like you and I, tryna get by

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You don't judge a man
Just by the way he found to feed his children
Everybody wants a slice of a pie
They're just like you and I
You don't judge me, man
This was never part of the plan
I'm just tryna get a slice of a pie
I'm just like you, I hide
I'm just like you, I hide
I'm just like you, I hide, I'm just tryna get by
