 Sometimes I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt you're probably think I'm speaking about money No, I'm speaking of a different commodity As different as sugar is from honey Both are a treat And both are sweet But only one is made naturally By the arduous effort of the worker bee And just as magnificent as honey So was the love of the woman who gave birth to me I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt How do I repay the woman who carried me in her womb for 9 long months her body was my room Gave me oxygen and nutrition Bared me until my fruition Only to come out wailing at her Ugly and blue Loved me from the start Even when I was new I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt We grew up in a poor land We had so little But I never went hungry Wasn't fat, but neither was I brittle You brought me to America All the way from Africa You wanted me to have the opportunities that were robbed from you Never let me go under what you went through It's so unfair Why should I have blessings you could never dare I know from my deepest core Had you been given what I had you would've soared I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt Everything I have is yours I always regret not being able to give you more To provide me the best You laid so much of your life to rest I'll make a promise To this vow I'll stay honest I will live my life fully Because I know truly That's your ultimate goal for me In everything I strive I will keep your endeavors in mind I will never forget your pain nor the things from which you had to abstain I feel so inept I’m so deep in debt, I will never forget Sometimes I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt you're probably think I'm speaking about money No, I'm speaking of a different commodity As different as sugar is from honey Both are a treat And both are sweet But only one is made naturally By the arduous effort of the worker bee And just as magnificent as honey So was the love of the woman who gave birth to me I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt How do I repay the woman who carried me in her womb for 9 long months her body was my room Gave me oxygen and nutrition Bared me until my fruition Only to come out wailing at her Ugly and blue Loved me from the start Even when I was new I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt We grew up in a poor land We had so little But I never went hungry Wasn't fat, but neither was I brittle You brought me to America All the way from Africa You wanted me to have the opportunities that were robbed from you Never let me go under what you went through It's so unfair Why should I have blessings you could never dare I know from my deepest core Had you been given what I had you would've soared I feel so inept I'm so deep in debt Everything I have is yours I always regret not being able to give you more To provide me the best You laid so much of your life to rest I'll make a promise To this vow I'll stay honest I will live my life fully Because I know truly That's your ultimate goal for me In everything I strive I will keep your endeavors in mind I will never forget your pain nor the things from which you had to abstain I feel so inept I’m so deep in debt, I will never forget
