[00:00:00] Back Up Plan - Mahalia

[00:00:01] Written by：James Burkmar/Mahalia Burkmar/Debbion Burkmar

[00:00:02] As a child she would analyse lyrics

[00:00:05] She would tear apart each word and turn it into a gimmick

[00:00:09] She used to play with the melodies and beats and the words

[00:00:13] She would come in singing things that no one had heard

[00:00:18] As a child she was always pretty bright

[00:00:21] Never bitching with the girls or getting into fights

[00:00:25] There was something in her head

[00:00:26] And there was something in her mind

[00:00:29] There was something going round

[00:00:31] There was something burning bright

[00:00:36] This don't matter to me

[00:00:40] Soon I'll be on TV and I won't have

[00:00:46] To dream

[00:00:47] No more

[00:00:49] This ain't got nothing on me

[00:00:53] Soon I'll be VIP

[00:00:56] I'll be making money

[00:00:59] Being a G

[00:01:00] Going properly

[00:01:07] Teachers used to say

[00:01:09] What do you want to be

[00:01:11] As soon as she says singer

[00:01:12] They all look at her blankly like

[00:01:15] Darling darling you need to have a back up plan

[00:01:19] Like what she said

[00:01:20] Working in Matalan

[00:01:22] Well quite frankly Miss

[00:01:24] I've already applied

[00:01:26] With the other thousand applicants standing in the line but

[00:01:29] That ain't my calling

[00:01:31] I'm tired of your warnings cuz

[00:01:33] I won't be falling

[00:01:36] So move over darling

[00:01:41] This don't matter to me

[00:01:45] Soon I'll be on TV and I won't have

[00:01:51] To dream

[00:01:52] No more

[00:01:54] This ain't got nothing on me

[00:01:58] Soon I'll be VIP

[00:02:01] I'll be making money

[00:02:03] Being a G

[00:02:05] Going properly

[00:02:07] Now she's grown she's all alone with

[00:02:10] Two kids screaming on the phone

[00:02:13] It's landlord calling for his rent

[00:02:16] But she's still stalling cuz she can't pay again

[00:02:19] And yes she's going to court today

[00:02:23] For the dress she stole away

[00:02:26] It was for a big audition

[00:02:30] Oh my

[00:02:31] She's on a mission to

[00:02:33] Show the teachers and the guys

[00:02:36] She made something of her life

[00:02:39] There's something in her head

[00:02:40] There's something in her mind

[00:02:42] There's something going round

[00:02:44] There's something burning bright

[00:02:46] This don't matter to me

[00:02:50] Soon I'll be on TV and I won't have

[00:02:56] To dream
