Paying Dues 03:14
Have you ever low? Verse 1: Have you ever been low? So low your life is in a hole While the whole world keeps moving And your stuck without a bit of hope And everyday is the same The Daily routine consists of another back pain and a headache -Dreaming of a better road -Fed up with being broke -Starving and surviving on borrowed love -I cannot cope -Standing in my living room, its empty, I cannot sleep tonight, I'm off to work I'll be back in the morning, so CH: Don't wait up I've gotta go and I'll be home first light Sleep tight, don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine I promise everything we'll be alright Sleep tight, don't worry honey Don't wait up I've gotta go and I'll be home first light Sleep tight, don't worry 'bout me You can find me late nights Waiting on the sunrise Verse 2: Desperate, under pressure, and miserable Got me by the neck in a choke hold With every minute that passes I get closer to end Can't pretend i don't hate the way they look at me I wish i was invisible, I'm angry man fuck 'em all -The weight of the world on my shoulders -Been screaming for the longest -will someone ever come close to even notice Sitting in this booth, 10 to 2 in the a.m I sing to myself like i sing to my daughters All I've got is one shot (Yah) All I've got is one shot One chance can change your whole life and last a lifetime One chance can change your whole life and last `a lifetime One chance can change your whole life and last `a lifetime One chance can change your whole life and last `a lifetime -CH(2x)-
