It’s hard to be living |
| [00:32.15] |
You gotta play the cards you were given |
| [00:33.79] |
You think it’s simple but it goddamn isn’t |
| [00:35.45] |
It’s tougher now than breaking out of Shawshank prison |
| [00:37.79] |
And as you’re hittin your prime |
| [00:39.10] |
People say you been committing a crime |
| [00:40.86] |
But I won’t quit till I’m home |
| [00:42.48] |
I’ll chip the limestone a bit at a time |
| [00:44.03] |
Wait! I’m a pale ass pale middle-class straight white male |
| [00:47.71] |
I won’t have an alibi the day I fail |
| [00:48.97] |
Cause if I ever went to jail, Mom would pay my bail |
| [00:51.26] |
In a heartbeat |
| [00:53.46] |
Mom and Dad have given me a lot more than a pat on the back |
| [00:55.39] |
And I gotta thank ‘em for loving me |
| [00:56.43] |
From the moment I was strapped in a Volvo car seat |
| [00:59.01] |
When I needed a pep talk |
| [01:00.23] |
I couldn’t remember to wreck shop |
| [01:02.06] |
Writer’s block, staring at my laptop desktop |
| [01:03.87] |
Or sleeping in my rental in a turnpike rest stop |
| [01:05.76] |
Shit in storage, living from a suitcase |
| [01:07.39] |
Thinking “this is how a silver spoon tastes?” |
| [01:09.60] |
Cause you can make a dream possible |
| [01:10.76] |
But it’ll never be easy, no matter what you chase |
| [01:12.86] |
If you wanna poke fun then do so |
| [01:14.33] |
I’ll do it for you, it’s no crime |
| [01:16.04] |
I’m like if the dude from Juno grew a Jewfro and liked to rhyme |
| [01:19.78] |
So tell me that I’m not a rapper |
| [01:21.50] |
Tell Rudolph he can’t pull sleighs |
| [01:23.31] |
Tell pluto it’s not a planet |
| [01:24.67] |
And he’ll probably keep spinning in the same old way |
| [01:26.84] |
On and on, every day |
| [01:28.46] |
Right around the sun, wanna feel the rays |
| [01:30.09] |
You do it ‘cause you love it like nothing else in the universe |
| [01:32.03] |
And fuck it, it’s embedded in your DNA |
| [02:32.79] |
