Tippin, Aaron - I Got It Honest Lyrics






It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block
And it may not look like we got all our share of the promise
But at least one thing's for sure, I got it honest

Roll out of the sack every mornin', head on down to the mill
Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal
If you'll check out my paycheck
Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it
But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I got it honest

I never had to hang my head in shame
For puttin' a price tag on my name
Never turned my back on what I believe
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't want it
That way I can always say, I got it honest

Now you ain't looking at some dude
That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth
And I might seem like some kind of low-life
To that high-falutin' crowd
But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin'
And damn proud of what I have accomplished
Some folks appreciate that and some don't
But, I got it honest

Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune
But I hope they know'd my life stood for things that were important
And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma
It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest

I never had to hang my head in shame
For puttin' a price tag on my name
Never turned my back on what I believe
Or let my heart be ruled by greed
'Cause brother if I didn't earn it, I don't want it
That way I can always say, I got it honest
Friend there ain't no doubt about it, I got it honest

    In 1995 I lost everything. I got arrested in Juarez Mexico and spent almost three years in prison before being transferred back to the US to serve another six months. I got released and driven to a greyhound station in Terre Haute Indiana with $273 to my name. I went back to Cincinnati Ohio to begin rebuilding my life. Today I’m doing great and living in Naples Florida. Since that day everything I’ve got I got it honest.

  14. F.... C....

    Thas good, cause one day those who stole robbed and did deeds unworthy to fellow man will taste a Judgment that they will never digest,
    But will.

    It's called integrity...

  21. j.... ....

    Just incredible the way he looks into the camera. He really knocked this one out of the park . I’m not sure what’s better, his delivery of this fantastic song or how compelling it is when he looks at the camera. Fantastic

    It's funny people post stuff about Trump. . .Trump didn't get what he got Honest, he didn't work for nothing. The people he's screwing over got it honest by hard work, not money given to him, and screwing the people over trying to get it honest.

    This is what defines conservative vs liberal. Did you earn it, or do you simply want it?
