lyrics

I'm just tryna live y'all I don't want a lot
Tryna make my days more than runnin' out the clock
They ask me how I am
And I tell 'em I'm fine
Then they gonna try to tell me it gets better with time

Maybe so, I don't know man
Maybe so I don't know
Maybe so I don't know man
Yeah maybe so

A penny for your thoughts
And even less for your labor
Tell me how's a simple sinner get the complex of a savior
I been crate diggin' tryna fill my chest crater
Now the paper changin' hands
Dunder Miflin turnin' Sabre
If I say I'm grindin' know that I just mean my teeth
'Cause the nights that my anxiety ain't tryna let me sleep
My doors locked
My shoes off
That's when I feel at peace
Now I'd rather waste my days stayin' wrapped up in my sheets
World's been on fire but then so is my brain
I'm just hopin' that it stop when my soul leave my frame
I been tryna reach the people so they know the refrain
And you ain't never make the cut if you still go with the grain
Been a desk jockey zombie someone stop me with a headshot
Make a little money just to lose it on the next drop
Brain's been a bully
It's got me in a headlock
Scared of reception I been livin' in a dead spot

I'm just tryna live y'all I don't want a lot
Tryna make my days more than runnin' out the clock
They ask me how I am
And I tell 'em I'm fine
Then they gonna try to tell me it gets better with time

Maybe so, I don't know man
Maybe so I don't know
Maybe so I don't know man
Yeah maybe so

Make make money
Take take time
Gonna get yours and I gotta get mine
Make make money
Take take time
Gonna get yours and I gotta get mine

Life disregarded but they cry over target
Now a national guardsmen gets to act like he seargent
What a bargain
What a deal
Everybody loves a sale
Life been like my drinks
Cause they both is off the rail
I had to get my mind right
I'm sorry if you missed me
DOOM name painted on a bus stop, neighborhood Sistine
Thoughts been rushin' like a blitzkrieg
Bipolar thinkin' got my brain playin' splitscreen
Cinderella dipped herself in citronella
Ditched her fella for somethin' a little better
Don't ask about the weather
Whether or not I been standin' in this downpour
Tryin' to get out more
Jabber jaw 'til my voice is raw and my mouth sore
This is not a threat
It's me tryna say I can't keep livin' with regrets
Livers been in check 'cause of liquor I ingest
Go ahead and pull the trigger now we playin' some roulette

I'm just tryna live y'all I don't want a lot
Tryna make my days more than runnin' out the clock
They ask me how I am
And I tell 'em I'm fine
Then they gonna try to tell me it gets better with time

Maybe so, I don't know man
Maybe so I don't know
Maybe so I don't know man
Yeah maybe so

Make make money
Take take time
Gonna get yours and I gotta get mine
Make make money
Take take time
Gonna get yours and I gotta get mine
