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 aint 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 aint 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 aint here the raise aint 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
