Life of a Workman
[Intro]
I don‘t feel free
I don‘t feel free

[Verse 1]
Mama told me no you ain‘t gonna get it
Why can‘t I do this? When this others told me that, yeah
Mama told me no you ain‘t gonna get it
And I still dream about it
So I found a job in my home town
It‘s bout to go down
I don‘t even reach the height of my old bounce
I just been busy at work, is it worth it?
Mama told me this the life that makes me feeling perfect
This began to hurt me
Had a conversation with my boss in a hurry
He told me you ain‘t got skill, where your mind at?
I just see you dreamin‘ all day, please define that
I could take you right back to where I used to step back
For a 3 pointer this the style I used to call flex

[Bridge 1]
Now I got money
But I‘d rather have dreams
Now I got money
But I‘d rather have dreams

[Skit]

[Verse 2]
So the man went back to the work once again
With a pocket full of hope and a bag in his hand
Way back to the days where he tried to be the man
With a Jordan sign on the ball in his hands
Yeah
Way up, coaches never paid us
Even I had the winner lay up
But I still dropped shots with a big ass smile after a crossover yeah I‘m feelin‘ way up
Bad move
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Bad move
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But I still had to work
Yeah I still had to work
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

[Bridge 2]
But I felt free before
Before I had a job, my passion was enough
Yeah I felt free before
Before it all got rough, a dollar was enough

[Verse 3]
So I went on with my motherfucking fucking life
A little bit thankful, I found my wife
So we‘re now 2 tryna make it right, it‘s alright
Yeah my watch shine bright
So I got a kid and my life just changed
Oh my god it‘s insane
But I don‘t have a thing for you to say, yeah

[Outro]
All my life
I was finding ways to get money
All my life
I was finding ways to get happy
All my life
I wasted time at my job
All my life
I missed the chance to wake up
