Paycheck

I got a seven dollar paycheck
And an eleven dollar meal
Yeah, if we're ever gonna make it
I think we're gonna have to steal

Okay, excuse my bad conclusion, I'm just tryna make a point
But I hope we kick-start soon
And I think that you and me can make it if we just make something cool together
I hope that it starts soon

My dad says taxes are the problem
And I seem to blame it on LA
But no one's holding me at gunpoint
So I got no leads on who to blame here

My girlfriend's got a plan demanding all of her attention lately
Who am I gonna whine to?
Now I'm sleeping through the evenings saying art comes with the seasons
Am I wasting all your time today?

Maybe summer's gonna pick me up
'Cause I'm spitting venom in every single word
And I lost my chance at being free
Day I started using my degree
I just want to do something right
And I just want to do something right

Let's say we're living in the Matrix
Somehow I take both of the pills
I feel a bubble in my stomach
Before the simulation kills me

Okay, they're sick of me pontificating, cinematic masturbating
Why won't they just stop me?
Let's focus on promotions, getting high, and feeling broken
At least we're all together now

Maybe summer's gonna pick me up
'Cause I'm spitting venom in every single word
And I lost my chance at being free
Day I started using my degree

Maybe summer's gonna pick me up
'Cause I'm spitting venom in every single word
And I lost my chance at being free
Day I started using my degree

And I know I've just been vindicated
Making my own words
Getting out of one is the best way to get trapped in the other

'Cause I've been soaked
I'm insatiable today
My slacks are rolled
But my jeans are ripped and torn and frayed

And I just want to do something right
And I just want to do something right
And I just want to do something right
And I just want to do something right
I just want to do something right
I just want to do something right
And I just want to do something right
I just want to do something right
