They told me, "Don't make a promise you can't keep" All the drugs in your system, you can't sleep How many times you had to buy a Plan B For a girl you never bring back home to meet your family? Man, man, I swear that's what I dream about Ever since my mom told me that she need me out Always smoking weed, causin' trouble, never clean the house But I paid her back for everything, I guess we even now Nothing better than some head after a long day That's the only thing that ever keep mine on straight And she asked me, "Why the long face?" How I spent three-hundred-fifty dollars on this entrée I drown my sorrow in that bottle Today is full of regret, find forever in tomorrow Man up, what's the problem? Everything is Jazz and I'm Stockton Yeah, I know it seem a little bit strange sometimes, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) Everybody live a little, everybody die, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) But that's life (that's life, that's life) What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?) But that's life (that's life, that's life) Baby, I would spend it all with you (I would spend it all with you) Yeah, and I'm headed to the other side, where the grass is always greener And your bitch is down to ride, but that ass is always meaner See, my cash got deeper and my morals disappeared Never thought I'd be a asshole, this my last show Can I please get a standin' ovation? A hunnid naked bitches in my dressing room waitin' We lost a lot of blood for this fucked up nation But me, I'm gettin' high, makin' love in that spaceship So what are the basics? Tell me your problems You losin' your job, or even worse, you don't got one So hard to stay sober when you feeling fucked over so much Always comin' up short, you like the roach of a blunt, yeah And I could never sleep at night F*ck paying bills, I need a brand new lease on life Why does doin' wrong always feel so right? Well, I guess, f*ck it, that's life Yeah, I know it seem a little bit strange sometimes, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) Everybody live a little, everybody die, yeah yeah (yeah yeah) But that's life (life, life, life) What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?) But that's life (that's life, that's life) Baby, I would spend it all with you (I would spend it all with you) Now, I wish I could take all your pain But when the toxin is fame The drugs, they don't fill the hole, no No connections again Wish you picked up the phone Knew that I'd be your home Knew that you weren't alone Knew that you weren't alone Knew that you weren't alone "I'm sorry I act little bit strange sometimes", you'd say, yeah Everybody lives and everybody dies one day Well, that's right, what you gonna do? And I wish you could've spent it on the truth, yeah
