| 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 |
