VERSE 1
I’m so sick of being poor
Shot down to the floor cause I lost another war
Constant butterflies inside my core
Heads a mess from the stress cause I can never afford
I was so unfair to mum and dad
Money they never had no wander I wound them mad
Under severe strain of bills and all that jazz
As if I could kick a fit and shit would be sweet as na
They say stacks of doe won’t bring you happiness you know
Although I’m pretty sure it could help to keep my stress levels low
Relieve the tight chest every time I spend some cents
Feeling sorry then there’s the worry of what is to come next
It’s like every day something else to pay
Activities I should enjoy all seem grey
Wish I could switch off from the cop
Inside my head so instead I call the shots
Chorus:
let me go, let me go
I can do this bro
Let me live a little
Experience the show
Let me go, let me go
Need to hit the road
Open up and branch out
Free from the woes
VERSE 2
I wanna go on a bender
Let loose get wasted and hope it make me better
Press my lips up to the bottle
I believe it will relieve me from the inner squabble
I wish I could say fuck this shit
Spend the day like I’m rich free from a glitch
No signals on the radar of a bill paper
Take out my whole amount of cash and see you later
Blow it all in one night no fucks given
whole world spinnin finest scotch sippin
Free from the fuzz no rats buzz
Just living high tripping of the greatest of drugs
Not the slightest care for what the morning will hold
To focused on the now and how I’m rolling in the gold
Just a free spirit not attached to every pivot
This is my life man I wanna fucking live it
