"I was born to do it
My daddy had enough so I put my back into it
That man was born to do it too
He didn’t have enough so he cannot sing for you"
Which makes more sense to me. It's about how some people come from backgrounds where they are privileged enough pursue their dreams (in this case singing) but some people don't have that as an option. Even if they were born with the talent and the potential.
I think the lyrics actually go:
"I was born to do it My daddy had enough so I put my back into it That man was born to do it too He didn’t have enough so he cannot sing for you"
