These warehouse wages Kill the ends introduction I should have schooled it up When I was younger should have stuck to plan Always had the dreams of being more self assertive And my kids a teenager he needs the health insurance So break my body Break break my soul down Just another zombie walking blindly through your ghost town Pull up to the bar to politic and tap the power Aint nobody 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
No overtime pay no holiday Months behind on everything but the lottery Went around the corner guaranteeing that my car died Wifey having trouble juggling both the part times My cup ain't close to filled up We trying to build up so we can have enough And when I finally get the color There won’t be nothing left to paint on My friend tried to kill himself to the same song
My better half is mad at making magic out of canned goods My tax bracket status gotta questioning my man hood My shorty got caught smoking weed at a concert And if I smack em everybody treats me like a monster My neighbors ain't doing much better And we making competition instead of sticking together Cant 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 coming Just me and my son and that crazy woman And those bartenders this whole f**king country Got everybody swallowing that lunch meat Maybe we can speed up the process Kill 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 dying for The only guarantee in life is a life worth dying for Cause death don’t wait for no one Sitting on your front door The only guarantee in life is a life worth dying for Cause death don’t wait for no one Sitting on your front door
