Skint On Pay Day -

Uh, ayo, I got a question

Let me know if the way we’re living is the way that we’re supposed to be living

Uh, is it worth it?

I plan a life of success where nothing I lack

And acquire enough so I can give some of it back

Spent so much time chasing dreams with my eyes closed

I forgot to wake up and read the fucking sign though

And it’s getting old, engaged to a job

Ignoring my calling, putting everything on hold, oh

And so they tell me that I can’t dream

But what the fuck do they know when they aren’t me?

Without a penny to my name

But I ain’t the only one, I know that many feel the same

Stretched so thin, tryna make ends meet

Funny how money makes us wanna be set free

Oh, it happened again

Ain’t it strange how paper can cause pain?

Oh, it happened again

Look at me, I’m skint on pay day

I’m fighting for the life that I wanna live

But they take every hour that I give

Society’s set up in a way that’s keeping us skint

So we get stoned, 'cause living on this rock ain’t cheaper than flint

The very substance we need to survive

Is natural to the earth, but it ain’t cheaper than fries

You pay 99p for some chips

Almost two pound for water when we need it to live

And over the years, we start to acquire debt

I ain’t met an adult human in the real world I admire yet (what?)

Without a penny to my name

But I ain’t the only one, I know that many feel the same

Stretched so thin, tryna make ends meet

Funny how money makes us wanna be set free

Oh, it happened again

Ain’t it strange how paper can cause pain?

Oh, it happened again

Look at me, I’m skint on pay day

I’m fighting for the life that I wanna live

But they take every hour that I give

Tell me the price of your time

Is it 6.50 an hour in a job that you don’t like?

We’re sacrificing our minds

Fulfilling someone else’s dream, is that a problem in your eyes?

And we ain’t taught to be thinkers, we ain’t taught to be rulers

Only reason they school us is to fool us

Ain’t it swell?

1% is rich as fuck, the rest believe that they can’t change the world (damn)

Oh, it happened again

Ain’t it strange how paper can cause pain?

Oh, it happened again

Look at me, I’m skint on pay day

I’m fighting for the life that I wanna live

But they take every hour that I give

Ah shit, I better get to work, fuck
