When I finally anekatips get home I can’t relax. 
cause i’ve been over worked and i’ve been over taxed. 
My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed. 
and i ain't looking for no pity, i’m just stating the facts. 

No Chords 

I voted for some change and it’s kinda strange, 
No it’s all i got in my pocket. 
I bought a few led’s, now i’m growing some trees, 
And it’s a sweet fking hustle don’t knock it. 

No chords 

I told y’all before i would break the law 
to put some food in my baby girl’s belly. 
cause the senator man took a bribe in hand 
And went and shipped my job to new delhi.
