All my life ​barren

[Intro]
I work my ass off to never get a step ahead

[Chorus]
I-I-I work my ass off to never get a step ahead
W-w-why put in all of this work when you can buy your way instead?
I can’t pass on over to the afterlife with that on my head
S-s-stop breathing while I still have my self respect--by a thread

[Verse]
(Yeah) Save those tears for someone else
All the things I wish I said but didn’t laid out on the shelf
Waste my time but I'll just play along
I've been giving it all away on every song

Days turn to weeks, then these weeks turn to months
I'll never tell you how it is, I'm too busy rollin' this blunt
I've been sitting here just like you always thought
I've been stuck so long, I think I got caught
Man, why you tryna watch us fall?
Why can’t you just wish all the homies would ball?
I think I need another reason for you to crawl
I thought I liked it, but I think I'm good on it all

All my life, all my life I spent it doing this
I'm outta time, outta time, yeah, you know what it is
All my life, all my life I let it take control
All this time in my mind, I spent it on my soul
