Spare Change Songtext

Spare Change Songtext
I gaze out hazy windows
′Cause it's lonely in here, but I paid the rent, though
I don′t really understand how I did it
"Just get up, go get it," that's how I'm living
Because dreams die, life evolves
You win big and you lose it all
Like a 1099, I write them off with fake friends and whiskey bottles
Problems? Yeah, we all got them
Accumulated from a life of agony
Self-medicate to distort reality
Trying to elevate because the game is dragging me through the mud
Didn′t do it for the chain, for the money, for the drugs
Didn′t do it for the fame, no dap, no hug
Did do it for the love and all Lord Claire that fuck with us
When these dirtbags pile in your lobby, wish a motherfucker would try to stop me
I spent my whole life living with pain, love, and lost wages, looking for change
And I ain't never really been one to complain
I done paid my dues and put in work
It′s a long bumpy road coming from the dirt
When they see us on top, I know it hurts
'Cause I never thought I′d live this way
Lord knows that I tried to change
All my life I have been living in pain
Ooh, I need to find some change
And I hate to be the one to complain
Lord knows you only wanted the same
So I'm asking, can you spare some change?
Spare some change if you look at my way
I′m trying to make it change like Bama said
Try to make money off the music in my head
But I'm closer to death than being fed
All the words I said and the time I spent
All the late nights in the studio trying to make a grip off of this music shit, shit
I guess I should have been working the job
But when I punched the clock, no fucking off
And sat down with the boss
Had a heart to heart and talk about his thoughts
Then I grabbed the mop with no back talk
There's no time to slack off
No time to hide in the back of the break room to write these rap songs
Maybe then I would have elevated family happy like exclamations
But would I ever acclimated to living a life with no pen and paper?
No concentration on my next rhyme pattern
Or the pattern of the beat being the unbeaten path that I travel out and revel
If I live the life without the pen and pattern or the ticks and drums
Where music doesn′t matter
So fuck the chains
I′m staying right here as they switch lanes and my gangster lean cold AC
Let my shit bang as I stay the same
Unless it's mental growth to bring myself to a new horizon
Yeah, you can come along, but man, keep your cash, there′s change provided
'Cause I never thought I′d live this way
Lord knows that I tried to change
All my life I have been living in pain
Ooh, I need to find some change
And I hate to be the one to complain
Lord knows you only wanted the same
So I'm asking, can you spare some change?
Spare some change if you look at my way
Waking up in cold sweats
In the back of my mind I was tipping over
Fighting to catch my balance
Splash a little water in my face trying to get me sober
It′s been six months of alcohol, living in a dream and without withdrawals
Ain't shit new, hell I've been down before
And that landlord′s still beating on my door
Just leftovers, whiskey bottles, blind to what comes if I see tomorrow
I was broke then, I am broke now
Got a hundred miles left and I′m broke now
Why won't you tell me that I am a fool?
I′d rather hear lies than you tell me the truth
I wear a disguise when I wake up and talk to these people
I'm sick of this life and I blame it on you
Waking up frantic, out of breath in a panic
Then I realized I was stuck in traffic
What the fuck happened? I think I′m going mad again
It's like I don′t get the joke you're laughing at
It's like you′re thinking it′s a joke to the aftermath
'Til them kicking down doors like a battering ram
And turn a bitch head red like raggedy and
I′m so pissed off, fuck this shit y'all don′t like me? Suck my dick
I begged for change, I prayed for change
But I never thought that it would come like this
It's like 30 below and I′m out in the cold
It's just me in this cup, I got nowhere to go
And I'm begging the Lord, if you hear me
I′m sure that you′re bringing me change
Or maybe I'm wrong (or maybe)
′Cause I never thought I'd live this way
Lord knows that I tried to change
All my life I have been living in pain
Ooh, I need to find some change
And I hate to be the one to complain
Lord knows you only wanted the same
So I′m asking, can you spare some change?
Spare some change if you look in my way
If you look in my way
If you look in my way
If you look in my way
If you look my way
′Cause it's lonely in here, but I paid the rent, though
I don′t really understand how I did it
