Abbey Lincoln - Retribution lyrics

Verse 1 Never was a child Living life since I was ten Heard every story told Been everywhere but in And I ain't disillusioned Always knew confusions' story Verse 2 Don't want no silver spoon Ain't asking for the moon Give me nothing Don't want no favors done Just let the retribution Match the contribution, baby Verse 3 No street that's paved with gold Don't need no hand to hold Hand me nothing Don't want no sad song sung Just let the retribution Match the contribution, baby Instrumental break Repeat Verse 2 Repeat Verse 3 Let the retribution Match the contribution, baby
