Yeah,(one two three four)
Yo, I live at home still
Not paying phone bills,
hydro or rent
And my mom makes most meals
So itâs so ill, I donât need no skrill only cash for gas when I borrow my folksâ wheels
--But you canât drive
Whatever our van died,
--get a good bike
What do I look like, that Lance guy?
I ainât pushinâ no fantasy
Looking like some eight year old kid on your grandmaâs street
You can go ahead and call me lazy
--lazy
I just retired real young yâall
Call me jay-z
Or maybe I just hate these crappy jobs
Call me crazy
But I refuse to work, man itâs miserable
Canât do it âless itâs due to circumstance
And I need the cash to feed my astronomical appetite
But for the time being yâall I sacrifice
and have a life modest, a coupla luxuries itâs cutting my budget schemes
and getting some stuff for free
Like whyâs a brother need a dentist?
Itâs expensive!
And my gums are bleeding due to every time he scrubs âem clean
And every year they try to bump the fee
Plus heâll probâly recommend braces,
--there you go man,
Thatâs another G
Well thanks a lot doc, but I can brush my teeth all on my own
So you ainât gonnâ hustle me.
So that takes care of the dental plan,
Now hereâs a potential scam:
Gettinâ my toes crushed by your rental van
--aahh!
Then advise who the driver and the rental guys
Enterprise or whatever I bet they would settle nice
Court adjourned, now I just gotta pay for the law forms
--thatâs easy
Spend two weeks eating popcorn
Like students do except Iâm grown and itâs not dorms
So itâs a bit more pathetic, okay, a lot more.
But what yâall gotta mock for? Whatâs wrong with my mach 3?
I gotta be macho and mach more?
Well not me, and I do not need to change blades someâ¦where I shave chin back face legs
And the rashes rarely last more than eight days, usually
So thatâs cool with me â I can save great
--But hygiene?
But thatâs no reason to buy things
Like soap or visenes or getting clothes dry-cleaned
I donât throw away dough on no facials
Yeah I make rolls of my pennies
I even pay folks in clubs of these case full of Pesos I got
--Bro get âem exchanged!
No Iâm waitinâ til the rates lower
Donât hate yo just cause yâall are wasteful
Yâall wanna make your brother a scapegoat
Itâs fucked
Itâs all nuance, use your head
Why get a bed and a couch when you can slouch on a futon instead?
If you got a little bread like croutons
Download them new songs
and spread them coupons
{music stops}
{Spoken}
--Shad what happened?
Oh yeah, um, I couldnât afford the whole beat⦠so, uh, I knowâ¦
--Couldnât affordâ¦
Yeah, no the guy was just charging so much, it was, itâs totally not worth it
So I was just like, letâs just like um, kinda just vibe with it
--What?
Like Iâll just like spit the verse and you just start clapping the last verse
--Clap my hands?
Yeah just clap your hands from there, or whatever. Iâll just, Iâll start it, Iâll start it
Itâs like:
{claps instead of music}
If youâre happy when you save two dollars a week
Steal your neighboursâ empty bottles and keep all your receipts
And only treat your girl yearly to McDonaldâs to eat
Donât be ashamed; pop your collars man, holla at me
--Holla!
If yâall is cheap, cause this is for acknowledging peeps
whoâs gotta track every dime using columns and sheets
If you strip-search the mall for a bargain to beat
Like every day youâre just a penny safe from starvinâ on thâ streets
Keep carvin a niche
Iâve started on a job for the week
Little shaddies still to come for their college degree
Yo I figure starting early on the market is key
Cause I plan on having smart daughters all Harvard MD
And regardless we gonnâ never put a car on the streets
âLess them gas prices lower and the parkinâ is free
And no parka for me, not even gloves, scarves out of fleece
I may freeze but Iâll keep saving marvelously
Holla!
{Spoken}
I told you, we just gotta vibe with it, man. Itâs good, Iâm stoked. Yeah no itâs a good track. Cut it.
