lyrics
hook
I got my mind set straight on the payday,
ain’t no money in it, but they counterfeit the heydeys
Any way they living is a way that you can make it
Waiting for the minute they gon take away the vacay
verse1
I’m sitting in a chair, play hot potato with the air,
listening to fables of past deals gone declared,
the pastels make the pictures less fictitious in affairs,
I’ve been fishing in attrition, they existing with the prayers
No mission, only living on the principles of interest
I think I found the middle, but the class it just disintegrates
I tried out all the trickles, all they is getting richer late
Pissing in the pot of gold, because Santa can't assimilate
Playing tricks on a popsicle, gotta practice so they get in shape,
every step is an obstacle, hop scotch like I've been skipping grades,
Hot pockets are not topical, I've never left a little change,
window shopping in an envelope, and I'm below the critic state
Piddling together model trains to keep the pace,
they demolishing the battles reenacted in the paint,
And move away a couple steps while we figure out the way,
to pave the streets left to me, I treat the trees with respect
hook
I got my mind set straight on the payday,
ain’t no money in it, but they counterfeit the heydeys
Any way they living is a way that you can make it
Waiting for the minute they gon take away the vacay
verse 2
I will step outside the box, walking up to Colfax,
see the people holding signs up like they don't know facts
Hiding in the shade, I'll be a statue of some patience,
gonna wait it out for now until they giving up the cases,
uppercase it, shout it from the lungs of the basements,
climbing rungs of the ladders that go nowhere but the races,
Take abrasives to the fabric of the walls that we make,
shaking change out of tragic, sipping solvent to stay,
I'll be dishonest if it means to keep the prejudice away,
I see this song as being honest with the devil in your face
The dirt dons a fake grin, smiling at the interstate,
to say they belong to him, and no one ever gets to get away,
but if he took a long look within, he'd see he falls with those who switched their blades,
And all of are him, singing hymns that we don't get to hate,
so while we got the hint, might as well take a little break,
and live a little longer on the end of the stiff fate
