Im travelin through this game called life
Its a tough game to play sometimes the game gets rough
Now, that Ive got the final okay
Youre tryin so hard to take it all away
Ive got my education, Ive got determination
Ive got imagination, come on give me a break
Ive got my education, Ive got determination
Ive got imagination, come on give me a break

Well I started out my life, tryin to find a better way
To live in this world from day to day
Now, people dont you know, dont you know
Folks always said, youve got to reap just what you sow
Ive got my education, Ive got determination
Ive got imagination, come on give me a break, give it up
Ive got my education, Ive got determination
Ive got imagination, come on give me a break, give it up

Wont you give me a break, I deserve a better shake
Wont you, give me, give me a break, come on give me a break
Im a woman I deserve a better shake, what you dont give, I will take

Oh, I tried to find out, what this was all about
Everyone wanted to go their own way
You say Ive got the right, no one can stop me, now
Im tryin so hard and now Ive learned how
Ive got my education, Ive got determination
Ive got imagination, come on give me a break
Ive got my education, Ive got determination
Ive got imagination, come on give me a break
