You say whats mine is mine
And whats yours is mine too
Now youve got more than you can spend
But all of the money in the whole wide world
Is not gonna help you in the end
Now while theres still time to be saved
Dont take that attitude to your grave
It might be too late for you Im afraid
So dont take that attitude to your grave
Dont you take it there
I hear helicopters over my house everyday
Shining their lights and flying low
Treat a child like a criminal from the day he is born
And youre gonna reap just what you sew
Now while theres still time to be saved
Dont take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you Im afraid
Now dont take that attitude to your grave
Dont you take it there
So you can move your court case way across town
You can move it across the whole wide globe
But it aint gonna help your court case up in the sky
When you go to put on your white robe
Now while theres still time to be saved
Dont take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you Im afraid
Dont you, they dont want it.
Dont you take it there.
And you dare the children stay off of drugs
I dare to stop letting them in
And how dare you point your finger at a gang out on the street
While its you who is committing the sin
Now while theres still time to be saved
Dont take that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for you Im afraid
Dont take that attitude to your grave
Dont you take it there
They dont it want it there
You know your mother taught you better
Dont take that attitude to your grave
