[Verse 1] These warehouse wages k** the ends introduction Man I should have schooled it up When I was younger should have stuck to plan Always had the dreams of bein' more self a**ertive And my kids a teenager now he needs the health insurance So break my body Break break my soul down Just another zombie walkin' blindly through your ghost town Pull up to the bar to politic and tap the power Ain't nobody really all that jolly at your happy hour But I don't want to go home yet So I'm gonna talk to my cigarette And that television set It doesn't matter what brand or station Anything to take away from the current situation [Refrain] No overtime pay, no holiday Months behind on everything but the lottery Winter around the corner guaranteein' that my car dies Wifey havin' trouble tryin' to juggle both the part times My cup ain't close to filled up We tryin' to build up so we can have enough And when I finally get the color There won't be nothing left to paint on A friend of mine tried to k** himself to the same song [Verse 2] My better half is mad at making magic out of canned goods
My tax bracket status her questionin' my manhood My shorty got caught smoking weed at a concert And if I smack em everybody treats me like a monster My neighbors ain't doin' much better And we making competition instead of stickin' together Can't save no nest egg, in fact this nest is rented In fact that rent is late, wait The money ain't here the raise ain't comin' Just me and my son and that crazy woman And those bartenders this whole f**in' country Got everybody swallowin' that lunch meat Maybe we can speed up the process k** me in my thirties in the name of progress Put me in the dirt and then change the topic Some time it seems like the only way to stop it Contemplate my departure date Doesn't take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way Take a shot at me that's all I'm obligated for Apparently my only guarantee is a walk away The only guarantee in life is a life worth dyin' for Cause d**h don't wait for no one Sittin' on your front door The only guarantee in life is a life worth dyin' for Cause d**h don't wait for no one Sittin' on your front door
