Another Dollar - Josh Martinez

Sitting in the park with a walkman on nodding my neck hard

And pardon me, I didn’t see you there

Thank god for the gift of midriff driftin' by

Catch a whiff and get high on a spliff, yes I

I’m talking better than dope and I really like dope

And so it must be good, could it get any better?

Shoulda set the sun off with a nice cool breeze

To ease the sweet smell of sweat run off, so please come off

You feel me like a breeze blowing, sitting under trees writing

Liking, looking out at the seas and fallen leaves

And breathing in the change of season, I don’t even need a reason

To be boozing when I’m cruising, as long as shit is pleasing

I love seeing the sun coming into my cave

And still crave the haze and find so many ways to misbehave

See the Josh did, done that and still caught the sunset

Drunk as fuck screaming, «Are we having fun yet?»

See the Josh did, done that and still caught the sunset

Drunk as fuck screaming, «Are we having fun yet?»

Another say, another dollar, wanna play?

Give me a holler

Let’s get faded on the bottle and forget about tomorrow

Let’s create a song of sorrow, how we always need to borrow

Loot to get loose, who gives a fuck about tomorrow?

Look out on the water and watch the sun setting

You can smell the rum and coke

And you can see that some forgetting

Come the summer ends in smoke, soaking up all them rays

It’ll end in autumn leaves, smoking trees on rainy days

The greens of today are the browns of tomorrow

And yesterday’s sorrow is the legacy we follow

In the yesteryear’s, the X amount of beers

We quenched our fears with

Were forgotten like so many friends

We went and spilled our tears with

To me the seas are calling, see I’ve fallen into love

With ska, dub and the dope dancehall

It seized me by the collar and it hollered

You’ve been mollycoddled long enough

Are you man enough?

Are you strong enough?

The world is yours but you’re divorced from it

So close to the top and you haven’t seen the summit

Been talking and dreaming for so long and ain’t done it

When the prey becomes the predator

The dream becomes the hunted

Another say, another dollar, wanna play?

Give me a holler

Let’s get faded on the bottle and forget about tomorrow

Let’s create a song of sorrow, how we always need to borrow

Loot to get loose, who gives a fuck about tomorrow?

Man, I’m missing sitting, kissing, talking shit, and pissing wine

Getting sunk feeling, remember reeling drunk and drooling time

On life, I’m buzzing nicely, maybe it might be caused

By laws that aren’t likely to have teeth, let alone jaws

Each and every leech that has a cause is always preaching

A one-sided thesis that comes from flawed teaching

Smoking pot to pass the time, what a crock I’m past my prime

But where’s the clock that’s telling time

When I’m the rock that time forgot

Not ready to go steady, not into the petty

The pity parties and confetti, I been there already

I can be your man if you’d only understand

That I can’t be held down by nothing just yet

I don’t care about the money, shit, I wanna live right too

But one plus one equals none left for me to like you

If you want it, you got it, you break it you bought it

You thought it would be cool to play the fool

You’ve been spotted

If you want it, you got it, you break it you bought it

You thought it would be cool to play the fool

You’ve been spotted

Another say, another dollar, wanna play?

Give me a holler

Let’s get faded on the bottle and forget about tomorrow

Let’s create a song of sorrow, how we always need to borrow

Loot to get loose, who gives a fuck about tomorrow?
