My Check Engine lights been on since I bought this car Its been a year Im suprised that I got this far I mean fuck, its a step up from riding the bus But i cant afford insurance so the cops Im tryna duck And living off a bridge card is rough Which runs out every month a week before it fills up Im just tryna eat that last week I feel defeated Got me stressed and I cant even have a good time when Im weeded Smoking trees with friends but aint got shit to match Im just lucky that a buzz around here aint hard to catch I hate being broke as fuck my homies always smoke me up But when i got the cash I got you back I hope you know whats up And I hate the fact that I cant buy myself new clothes Closet still got half the clothes I wore in school four years ago Always wondering if anybody notices Sometimes I wonder if its obvious Im broke as shit Losing focus on school Im close to that degree But Im nervous that my student loans will be too much for me I studied what I love and thats gon bite me in the ass And Ill be damned if I admit I should have listened to my dad But Im the first one in my family to go to school So dont blame me if I wanna get paid to play with Pro Tools Sometimes I think Ill never catch a buzz like ODouls And Ill be stuck in this recliner eating cold food Its hard to pull through with bill collectors callin me Leaving voicemails everyday they followin me Feel like they followin me They taking all of me I try to run away, but I cant escape I try to run away, but I cant escape I try to run away, but I cant escape Take a look at me through your beams I be so stressed out I just wanna scream Brett Hanson Vocals Verse 2 This that Ramen noodle rap when you poor you glued to that Your mom be spoonin that sayin here you go you Brats Your house be filled with traps for bugs and mice and rats Got a dog and two cats the couch they chewin that The one that you sat on and sounded like it cracked If you sat down for two long its fucking with your back But nothing fixes that mini heart attack When you check the cabinet have no more KoolAid packs I remember when we all got cable That was the last time that we all got stable Callin Mom up as much as Im able But you never really know when her phone got disabled Kitchenette always smells like Cigarettes Got a computer with no internet Powder on the table Moms nose all in that This is the home I was once living at I try to run away, but I cant escape I try to run away, but I cant escape I try to run away, but I cant escape Take a look at me through your beams I be so stressed out I just wanna scream Pt. 2 The American Dream Sample Verse1 I feel like I done said this shit so much that its repetitive I gotta take the steps to hit the level that a legend is Its business etiquette to brainwash the pessimist Informercial messages directed at the desperate like 3 easy payments then your free from all the lame shit For just a couple paychecks get away on a vacation They say whatever you want in life take it Its amazing how much they let that phrase bend Television stations all in the same rotation So you cant ever avoid all the sales presentations I aint accustomed to consuming nothing custom bout customers They bunch us and clump us, disrupt and interrupt us Pushin they agenda they punch kick and bend us Stick us in a blenda drink us with a touch of splenda Thats why I recommend ya do what truly interests ya Dont let the money depress ya or youll end up like the rest of us like the rest of us Let the money be the death of ya your boss can host the funeral They got your time and energy your body will be soon to go So get in line cooperate defiance isnt suitable So put that suit and tie on, the lies they must look beautiful Believe that, believe that, the truth cuts deep you better bleed that
