lyrics

They say, “I ain’t seen you at the club”
I say, “I ain’t seen you at the bank”
They say, “You only live once”
I say, “It’s not livin’ if it’s fake”

We spend money we don’t have on things we don’t need
To impress people we don’t even like and that’s weak
Pretty car, ugly payment
We’ve got to go into debt to make a statement

And you know what they say, “you can’t take this…
Money with you when you die so why save it?”
Um, of course you can doofus
All we need to know is how big the Egyptian tomb is

Stop pretendin’
When you say, “live a little” what you mean is “lots of spendin’”
Dawg you gotta stop it
The point of a budget is to patch a whole in the pocket

You sleep like you’re rich
I’m up like I’m broke and I’m going for it
Here’s some crynancial advice for you babies
Take your excuses and put them in savings!

They say, “I ain’t seen you at the club”
I say, “I ain’t seen you at the bank”
They say, “You only live once”
I say, “It’s not livin’ if it’s fake”

You gave a half day’s work for a full day’s pay
New shoes on your feet but your rent’s always late
Claiming you live check to check, saying, “I’m broke”
Yet it seems you always have money to buy things like nice clothes

Some people live to regret
Dive into a pool of credit, drown, swimming in debt
Found injured and wet, and I don’t mean to diss you
If you’re getting raises every year then money’s not the issue

It’s how you manage it
The amount really isn’t as important as how you handle it
I’m talkin’ honestly
Look at broke athletes and winners who lost the lottery

Grind while they rest
Study when they party tryin’ to impress
Keep showing up and you’re bound to succeed
And one day they’ll see you live like they dream
