| Like we always do at this time
|
| (Ok, bro)
|
| Like we always do sometimes
|
| Yeah, uh, ain’t it funky?
|
| Talkin' it to ya'
|
| Hey,
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| The could life, the could life
|
| We work lik a slave ‘til the pay packet is gon
|
| Went from plantations to a factory job
|
| Trying to save up enough for a better day
|
| End up sending the money back home anyway
|
| Trying to take care of two families
|
| One here, one there, living off canned beef
|
| All we want is the kids to have a better life
|
| And new surroundings, and a Tarago
|
| To move them about in
|
| That’s not asking for much
|
| ‘Cause you’ll meet us out the front to look after you’re club
|
| We’re trying to live dreams through rosary beads
|
| Whether union or league we’ll make up most of the team
|
| See only a few avenues to earn a livin'
|
| Spend our thoughts and prayers on sports and religion |
| But no money fell from the sky and we never understood why
|
| ‘Cause all we want is that could life
|
| I just wanna move all of y’all
|
| They’re telling me I got potential
|
| From the island to the iPhone
|
| I need to re-up on this
|
| So I can get to that
|
| (The could life) Yeah (the could life) Yeah
|
| (The could life) Some of that (the could life)
|
| (The could life) I want that (the could life)
|
| (The could life) Gimme that (the could life)
|
| (The could life) Come on (the could life)
|
| (The could life) Yeah, yeah (the could life)
|
| You work like a slave ‘til the pay packet is gone
|
| Getting worked to the bone ‘til the passion is lost
|
| Relentless left with less faith
|
| ‘Cause the very next day you’ll be shoved right back in the box (Yeah)
|
| Some like the boss, some hate that motherfucker
|
| Fellow employees try baiting one another
|
| Some are self-employed, avoid the rat race
|
| Trapped, avoid the middle man to pay tax
|
| They’re hard to miss, they were the black marketers
|
| Didn’t need uni to be street pharmacists
|
| Even my boys flipped that money |
| From dirty to clean, now they live quite comfy (Yeah, yeah)
|
| They things that we all want a taste of
|
| What we don’t have so we’re here trying to chase that
|
| Place in the sun, that race has begun
|
| So goodbye, I’m off to live that good life
|
| I just wanna move all of y’all
|
| They’re telling me I got potential
|
| From the island to the iPhone
|
| I need to re-up on this
|
| So I can get to that
|
| (The could life) Oh yeah (the could life)
|
| (The could life) Some of that (the could life)
|
