I woke up the same
Way that I slept
Without a dime to my name
Drowning in debt
I feel like numbing the pain
But nothings worked for it yet
Hell I don’t mean to complain
But it’s the thing I do best
Yeah it’s what I do best
Well I cost more than I make, so I gotta make up the rest
Fuckin over the system that led us into this mess
Like a CEO I think with criminal intent
I steal from a corporation every chance that I get
They steal from us too it’s a game on both ends
It’s like I battle Loss Prevention and my weapon is Theft
So every time I go shopping it’s like I’m playing chess
They keep me checked but I’m squirrely and they ain’t had me yet
And that’s as far as it can go
they say you gotta give up the jig
But I ain’t asking permission
from no one to live
I get by like I’m feral
That’s as free as I get
I tried to do it right I’ve had a few jobs
But I always fuck it up when I start sweatin my boss
Who’s always riding my ass to make sure I don’t fuck off
It always leaves me feeling worthless when I live like a cog
But every days a struggle either way it gets hard
I’m ridin’ ‘round on empty and the gas light is on
So I’m like a wild animal but with a gun in his draws
I guess take me to the bank I need to make a withdrawal
And that’s as far as it can go
They say you gotta give up the jig
But I ain’t askin permission
from no one to live
I get by like I’m feral
That’s as free as I get
