Hoboken (Live)
Minimum wage can't pay rent,
Somebody make it make sense
Gimme a full life, don't distract
Runnin' same circles 'round a cul-de-sac
Graduate 18 get a four year degree
In the summers intern for your Daddy
Business, finance, or real estate
No free will buddy boy that's your fate
Don't you dare stray outside the square
Less you wanna stay outside the square
After school get a girl and move to Hoboken
Have to follow rules that're all unspoken
Such a rigid life will leave a hoe broken
Got a plan to break free but can't get it in motion
Life's all fun until you gotta chose it
Desire comes easy until you lose it
Same sad roads to the same sad music
"Your songs change the world" ok then prove it
Maybe then I'll never break from this machine
Maybe I'm crazy for following my dreams
But I gotta lot of genius, and I ain't even show em yet
Y'all ain't never meeting me cuz I ain't even know him yet
My ideas in the garden, but I ain't even grow them yet
The best is yet to come but I ain't even bestow them yet
Not goin to your uptown school
Not playing by the uptown rules
Ain't nobody find uptown cool
Spent 18 years an uptown fool singing
Minimum wage can't pay rent
Somebody make it make sense
Gimme a full life, don't distract
Runnin' same circles round the cul-de-sac
Sorry mom I never went to Boston College
Lost it all and got lost in college
Turns out there's a hidden cost of college
Fixed my problems by getting crossed in college
But what the hell you do with a BFA
Broadway, no way, still owing 60k
But I pray for the day I can be in a play
Okay, It's underway I'm sorry for the delay
I try to try to try my best
Try to lead with all my chest
Fly away from that old nest
Turn my back on all the rest
But every nights spent with Netflix excessive episodes
Recapping my friends weekly depressive episodes
All my southern friends call northerners pretentious
As if I'd ever listen to a bitch that lives in Texas
Only thing I miss is familiarity
Only thing I need no is some kind of clarity
Looking to the past like it's perfect
Back then none that shit was worth it
Hating my side job but I still work it
Gotta keep the friends who were here before the first hit
Keep on forgetting the time spent crying
Not quite there yet but I'm trying
"How's college going?" dumb bitch stop prying
Craftin' my answer so I'm still not lying
Daddy's got two addresses
But no one wanna address it
Somebody make it make sense
Gimme a full life, don't distract
Runnin' same circles 'round a cul-de-sac
Graduate 18 get a four year degree
In the summers intern for your Daddy
Business, finance, or real estate
No free will buddy boy that's your fate
Don't you dare stray outside the square
Less you wanna stay outside the square
After school get a girl and move to Hoboken
Have to follow rules that're all unspoken
Such a rigid life will leave a hoe broken
Got a plan to break free but can't get it in motion
Life's all fun until you gotta chose it
Desire comes easy until you lose it
Same sad roads to the same sad music

Maybe I'm crazy for following my dreams
