Purpose Filled Life Lyrics

Not gonna let my mother down
Not gonna let my brother down
I'm gonna earn my place at the table
Not gonna let my sister down
Not gonna let my father down
I'm gonna make my peace where I'm able

Ooh don't let me be no kind of burden
Just let me work and I will earn it
I want my life to have a purpose
Tell me if you think I deserve it

Not till I get to solid ground
Not till I get a bottom out
Will I see myself in the mirror
Not till my body is broken down
Not till my soul is in the clouds
Will I finally be somewhere peaceful

Don't let me be some kind of burden
Just let me work and I will earn it
I want my life to have a purpose
Tell me if you think I deserve it

Don't let me be some kind of burden
Just let me work and I will earn it
I want my life to have a purpose
Tell me if you think I deserve it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
