Pete Cannon - Good Times And Dead Brain Cells lyrics

[Verse 1] Someone told me life is what you make it So i'm not gonna settle for surviving on the basics Trials and tribulations of everyday life Bad memories about the wrongs i never made right Grew up seeing things that I knew nothing about The loss of family members, violence and d** in the house Weren't much money around had to get it own my own 3 kids raised by a single parent on the dole Nothings changed much, still living in the same town I been around the block and got to know my way round I got nothing to prove and nobody to make proud I'm a problem child and the world is my play ground It's like my best is never enough Never been a quiter no im anything but I just know i gotta look out for me Nobody else cares bout were i end up if Im gonna mess up Then i wanna know that its all my mistake And If there's nobody else f**ing up around me there's nobody i can blame I don't need fame I'm not greedy i'm cool aslong as im eatin' These dudes are dumb we're not doing a song Just move along your flows weak and I don't find all them bars about your j**ellery appealing I'm off the chain im not dependent on these weak links They say better the devil you know And you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer I tell 'em when im old i'll end up livin' alone Cause i'm selfish and cold like pregnant women that smoke I'm my own worst enemy i've lost if i beat me Angry at the world i don't know how to stop I'm just being a product of my enviroment you could probably see But most of my problems are a product of me I don't need no more friends i only roll with a select few Heads who have got my back and i got them too Otherwise empty promises start to turn to excuses And a new relationship can turn into your next feud Trying to endure the monotony till it's payday If i want something better i gotta be on my A game Many have failed i'd of probably gone the same way But pride made me do this sh** properly just to save face
