Back Up Plan - Mahalia[00:00:00]
Written by:James Burkmar/Mahalia Burkmar/Debbion Burkmar[00:00:01]
As a child she would analyse lyrics[00:00:02]
She would tear apart each word and turn it into a gimmick[00:00:05]
She used to play with the melodies and beats and the words[00:00:09]
She would come in singing things that no one had heard[00:00:13]
As a child she was always pretty bright[00:00:18]
Never bitching with the girls or getting into fights[00:00:21]
There was something in her head[00:00:25]
And there was something in her mind[00:00:26]
There was something going round[00:00:29]
There was something burning bright[00:00:31]
This don't matter to me[00:00:36]
Soon I'll be on TV and I won't have[00:00:40]
To dream[00:00:46]
No more[00:00:47]
This ain't got nothing on me[00:00:49]
Soon I'll be VIP[00:00:53]
I'll be making money[00:00:56]
Being a G[00:00:59]
Going properly[00:01:00]
Teachers used to say[00:01:07]
What do you want to be[00:01:09]
As soon as she says singer[00:01:11]
They all look at her blankly like[00:01:12]
Darling darling you need to have a back up plan[00:01:15]
Like what she said[00:01:19]
Working in Matalan[00:01:20]
Well quite frankly Miss[00:01:22]
I've already applied[00:01:24]
With the other thousand applicants standing in the line but[00:01:26]
That ain't my calling[00:01:29]
I'm tired of your warnings cuz[00:01:31]
I won't be falling[00:01:33]
So move over darling[00:01:36]
This don't matter to me[00:01:41]
Soon I'll be on TV and I won't have[00:01:45]
To dream[00:01:51]
No more[00:01:52]
This ain't got nothing on me[00:01:54]
Soon I'll be VIP[00:01:58]
I'll be making money[00:02:01]
Being a G[00:02:03]
Going properly[00:02:05]
Now she's grown she's all alone with[00:02:07]
Two kids screaming on the phone[00:02:10]
It's landlord calling for his rent[00:02:13]
But she's still stalling cuz she can't pay again[00:02:16]
And yes she's going to court today[00:02:19]
For the dress she stole away[00:02:23]
It was for a big audition[00:02:26]
Oh my[00:02:30]
She's on a mission to[00:02:31]
Show the teachers and the guys[00:02:33]
She made something of her life[00:02:36]
There's something in her head[00:02:39]
There's something in her mind[00:02:40]
There's something going round[00:02:42]
There's something burning bright[00:02:44]
This don't matter to me[00:02:46]
Soon I'll be on TV and I won't have[00:02:50]
To dream[00:02:56]
No more[00:02:58]
This ain't got nothing on me[00:02:59]
Soon I'll be VIP[00:03:03]
I'll be making money[00:03:07]
Being a G[00:03:09]
But it don't[00:03:11]
Come free[00:03:14]
