Simple Livin' |
I’m like nine hours away from finishing my nine hour shift |
And wishing I was gone nine hours ago |
'Cause nine hours wasted tossin' back the chicken |
I could’ve written nine verses just in time for the show |
Slacker mind state retirin' on time that’s borrowed |
My motto’s I’ll stop procrastinatin' tomorrow |
I took the sorrow from the windchimes |
Left happiness lonesome and strung up |
Sarcasm to make the melody wholesome |
From my lungs to my feet I’m breathing |
Everything I speak but now they’re charging for oxygen |
And the bills due next week, I’ll be a day late and a buck short |
Story of my life, I wish my pay rate was much more |
Duckin' swords in a rat race |
I didn’t apply for running towards something that’s fake |
And thinking, why for, they’re shutting doors right in my face |
And sitting high horse is a car and a dope place |
Something to die for, this is my war |
And now I’m schemin' on plots to make my pockets swell |
Simple living is a bitch but damn, I do it well |
Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail |
Some locomotives push through and some of 'em get derailed |
Schemin' on plots, hey hey |
Simple living is a bitch, hey hey |
Some are fortunate to make it, hey hey |
Some locomotors push through, hey hey |
I lead a crocodile mile lifestyle I run and slide |
But when it’s time to collide with the bump |
I always bail 'cause I’m not ready for that dive |
Or that silly 9−5 solidified career option |
A hop skip and a leap away from rock star |
And not too far away from fillin' pop’s shoes |
The idyllic hard workin' type of callous feet |
Complete with wife, kids, dog, house and picket fence |
That’s nonsense, I’m convinced I’m built for better things |
And won’t settle for the empty smile that cheddar brings |
It seems like i’m working hard simply |
'Cause it’s what they say I have to do |
You graduate and then you either get a job or you go to school |
12 years wasn’t enough, that’s more than half of my life spent |
Trying to make the world accept me |
Plus I’ve got the papers saying that I made it through |
Now I’m working 2 jobs |
Three with music and you don’t respect me? |
Fuck it I’ll retire now, you’ll work until you’re 62 |
And now I’m schemin' on plots to make my pockets swell |
Simple living is a bitch but damn, I do it well |
Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail |
Some locomotives push through and some of 'em get derailed |
Schemin' on plots, hey hey |
Simple living is a bitch, hey hey |
Some are fortunate to make it, hey hey |
Some locomotives push through, hey hey |
