[Verse 1]:
Yeah I get, I'm only 17 years old
And I'm not supposed to have all the money in the world
But it'd be nice if I had a couple hundred or so
So I wouldn't have to beg for no more
Almost thirty dollars in my wallet, right now
I'm on a low budget, look, real talk now
This is the type of sh** that should be talked on the radio
But all I hear is stupid sh** and all these ladies, hoe
If this is how it is for now, imagine when I'm 18
After I graduate, I wouldn't even be free
I'd still have to stay under my parents' roof for a bit
Before I make some money and get my own apartment
That's every 15 year old's dream, but I'm 17
I only thought about this cause of me
I want a life of my own, provide for myself
Care for myself, and more importantly, depend on myself
[Hook]:
Now if I had money, I wouldn't be struggling to get a job
If I had a life, I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
If I had time, I would be going out promoting this song
But I have no money because I don't have a job
[Verse 2]:
Now I can drop out of high school, and just depend to get a record deal
But I'm not an idiot, I'm in my last year
So I might as well roll with it, who knows
I might end up doing something I love doing the most
Even if I did, I know I'd do something else then write these rhymes
Cause I'm a lazy person when it comes to getting the job done most of the time
So don't even hand me the mic
Cause you'd be pretty disappointed in what you hear, Mike
Now I'm back to base 1, where my mom gets suspicious
About my dad hanging out with them damn ol' b**hes
Or if that same old stupid c*nt a** who*e is doing black magic
On her, I'd f**ing k** her a**
I'll k** her in front of the kids and even k** her kids
Before I do to her, sh** it got gorey all of a sudden
But that's what happens when you f** with me you f**ing b**h
It ain't gonna be a nice ending for you, b**h
[Hook]:
Now if I had money, I wouldn't be struggling to get a job
If I had a life, I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
If I had time, I would be going out promoting this song
But I have no money because I don't have a job
[Verse 3]:
It would be a miracle if life's problems would be gone in a second
Obviously, that's asking for too much so I might as well step in
And inform everybody it'll be okay in the end
So instead of fighting, let's just make amends
This is all ridiculous on how we try and play life
We end up getting something worse than what we had before, ight
There ain't no use trying to cheat
We all have to go along and get ready to meet
Our maker, the lord and savior, ain't giving up yet
This is only the beginning of my ascent
So don't even try and knock me out without a chance
Cause I'll just come back around and not even become last
I'm more stronger than that, sh** I lost a girlfriend and a friend in a month
Now tell me how haven't I lost my touch
It's simple, you just go along
And that's just a sample of how my life rolls along
[Hook]:
Now if I had money, I wouldn't be struggling to get a job
If I had a life, I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
If I had time, I would be going out promoting this song
But I have no money because I don't have a job
