Live This Way 2 Mello

I don't want to live this way ...

[Chorus]
I got friends need picking up
Clothes need stitching up
Beats need kicking up
Neighbors spitting wicked stuff
Tummy needs filling up
My insurance really sucks
And I don't want to live this way
I got dreams I wanna live
Some money I wanna give
Some rules I gotta respect
Some wins I gotta collect
Some albums I wanna tease
Victories I wanna seize
That I don't want to give away

[Verse 1]
In my room alone, waiting for jazz samples to buffer on my Pentium 4, I had so much to discover
And so much freedom to pursue it so fully and honestly
I'll forever be grateful for all the food at the table
This country's been at war since I was old enough to think
Didn't start to really think till I was old enough to drink
Now that I'm on the right track I'm running faster playing catch up
With my homies looking on, planning weddings playing dress up
Buying houses that they don't expect to share with fifteen people
Worrying 'bout Star Wars sequels, not keeping rights equal
Who's gonna take the weight, it's me, pile it on
Got a list of worries longer than wingspan of pteranodon
Might as well stay in hell with all my dunnies
Who I fight for the same money, but at least we find it funny
Even on my best days, I can't keep the dread at bay
Hear a part of me say, I don't want to live this way
