Born A Penny Lyrics - Never Going Back - Shemekia Copeland

You whispered me the secret to success 

But words mean nothing- money even less 

In the end who can judge if you win or you fail? 

My body may be weary, but my soul it ain't for sale 

[chorus] 

I was born a penny 

I ain't gonna be no dime 

Trying to change me is just wasting your time 

I'm holding on to this simple life of mine 

I was born a penny 

And I ain't gonna be no dime

I admit- I don't always have control 

Of the ghost in my head and the spirits in my soul 

But when I see that looking-glass sitting on the shelf 

It looks just fine to me and I wouldn't be nobody else 

[chorus] 

I know a penny ain't a lot 

But all I need I got 

I was born a penny 

And I ain't gonna be no dime 

Photos 

So hold that tiara 

'Cause I don't need to be queen 

Locked up in some castle never was my dream 

The fairytale you wrote wasn't all that fair 

I'd rather ride the highway with the wind blowing through my hair 

[chorus x2] 

I was born a penny 

And I ain't gonna be no dime
