lyrics

well i coulda done so much more with my life but i'm stuck in here slangin' on the seven to five

but if i had the greenbacks to get back to my baby i would and i would take her on the ride of her life

if i'd followed my dreams i'da surely have starved by now but another hunger still burns hot its the trill of potential and i'm leasing my spirit out just to give it another shot

do i regret taking the drink
or keeping the smoke deep inside
no i know that i dont
cause i survived

its not a matter of choice
what we do in this life
we were born into it
and inside it we die

i can feel the change of heart on down my spine
but can my brain get a clue when my body speaks lies

i'm an electrical signal, a link in a chain
inside the hive-mind

every day that i work just to earn some more numbers is wasting away all my precious time
when i am laid in my grave will i be known for the money i made or the things that i love to buy
