Yeah I hate this job but I need a paycheck

Spending all this money that I didn’t make yet

A hard day’s work said that’d be the safe bet

Got money in the safe but I don’t feel safe yet

So say less

Cause all of these bills need pay

And I don’t like to feel this way

Someone take me home

I’ma fuck around and still get paid

But the money doesn’t make me no

So what do they know

I hate living on budgets

But what’s new so fuck it

I like to rap like I’m conscious

But spending money I love it

If you owe me and don’t pay’s the only time I hold grudges

Two sides to a pocket and yeah I hate when it touches

Life’s expensive as shit

And what I got for what I spent is legit

But all these hours at this desk are a trip

All this customer service got me testing my lip

Codependent capitalism got me questioning it

Someone tell me what’s the purpose

Trading my passion for a purchase

Why’s she keep on asking for these purses

Thought you’d love me for whatever’s deep under the surface

Elephant in the room’s feeling like circus

Testing my patience

Got me so stressed I’d spend a check on a vacation

I don’t got a minute to enjoy the life I’m chasing

I just need to chill but hard to chill when lack of money is the thing that makes me anxious

I hate this job but I need a paycheck

Spending all this money that I didn’t make yet

A hard day’s work said that’d be the safe bet

Got money in the safe but I don’t feel safe yet

So say less

Cause all of these bills need pay

And I don’t like to feel this way

Someone take me home

I’ma fuck around and still get paid

But the money doesn’t make me no

So what do they know

What do they know

These days I lay low

Pour the bottle down the sink,

you’d think I was drinking Drano

I should’ve saved my money

to tour in a Winnebago

Used to drink myself to sleep

in the back of the Jeep Laredo

Graduated from the Buick regal

playing beat tapes

Money, its the root of evil

Every day, a sweepstakes

So I… play the lottery

Blame it on the economy

And spend it on the family

that never bothered to father me

Fuck… it’s dumb luck

Being passionate sucks

Some of the hardest working artists

Work for cash in a cup

And Living off the tips of others

Play another and another

Just to go to waffle house

and tell them to smother and cover (it)?

…Aspirin for the crick in my neck

Pouring out my heart TOURING,

harder than you expect

I feel rich with my friends

When I can pick up the check

I wouldn’t trade it for the world

Not for even a sec

Yeah I hate this job but I need a paycheck

Spending all this money that I didn’t make yet

A hard day’s work said that’d be the safe bet

Got money in the safe but I don’t feel safe yet

So say less

Cause all of these bills need pay

And I don’t like to feel this way

Someone take me home

I’ma fuck around and still get paid

But the money doesn’t make me no
