Lyrics:
Its hard to be living
you gotta play the cards you were given
you think its simple but it goddamn isnt
its tougher now than breaking out of Shawshank prison
and as youre hitting your prime
people say you been committing a crime
But I wont quit till im home, Ill chip the limestone a bit at a time
Wait! Im a pale ass pale
middle-class straight white male
I wont have an alibi the day I fail
cause I ever went to jail mom would pay my bail
in a [boom boom] heartbeat
mom and dad have given me a lot more than a pat on the back and I gotta thank em for loving me from moment i was strapped in a Volvo carseat
when I needed a peptalk
I couldnt remember to wreck shop
writers block, staring at my laptop desktop
or sleeping in my rental in a turnpike rest stop
shit in storage, living from a suitcase
thinking this is how a silver spoon tastes?
cause you can make a dream possible
but itll never be easy, no matter what you chase
if you wanna poke fun then do so
Ill do it for you, its no crime, Im
like if the dude from Juno grew a Jewfro and liked to rhyme
so tell me that im not a rapper
tell Rudolph he cant pull sleighs
tell Pluto its not a planet
and hell probably keep spinning in the same old way
on and every, every day
Right around the sun, wanna feel the rays
you do it cause you love it like nothing else in the universe and fuck it, its embedded in your DNA")
