Another Dollar

From the album If I Wasn't Me by Scottychams

Verse 1

Eh yo they ain't giving you shit

We writing our own lines

I scribbled the wishes

Into existence

Just by going the distance

For this vision

For the mission

In this society

Where ambition

Is too explicit

As if we needed permission

For the revisions

Til they switch it

From the hugs and the kisses

To throwing you in ditches

They were wishes

Not specifics you were meant to

Compete

You were supposed to believe

Have faith pray and bleed

Getting merit through the suffering

Wondering if it's enough yet

But never take the time out to ask

Besides if you did

Culturally that's a laugh

And we're under attack

But the lash back

Don't back track

To past acts

I mean I'm only 25

So what is that

Cause if we're talking brass tax

I've been focused on the task

While you try to relax

And sometimes I screw up

Relapse and procast

And poke fun with facts

Sorry I'm not sorry

Oh what a day we've had

Don't be sad

I'm glad I had some letdowns

You mad that I don't get down

I laugh when I don't clout

I play some shit they get loud

Like who is this

Oh

He's still the new kid

He's just here for amusement

But I come up from the losing end

The grind the curse I use to win

We get focused on some stupid shit

And lose the grip when it's just

Another way

It's another way

Yeah

Chorus

Yeah

Another day

Another dollar

And then we're back again tomorrow

You got sorrow in your core though

Your core hope is you can

Check it at the door yo

They got enough going on

Just needed to cope

So we just go with the flow

Another day

Another dollar

I'm back again tomorrow

You got sorrow in your core though

Your core hope is you can

Check it at the door yo

They got enough going on

Just needed to cope

We take a toke

Bridge

Alright

Lost

Between the intervals

But here I go

Another day

It this really just a joke

That's the only way I know

And I can take it

I just know I can't fake it

Fuck sakes man

Yo

Chorus

Yeah

Another day

Another dollar

And then we're back again tomorrow

You got sorrow in your core though

Your core hope is you can

Check it at the door yo

They got enough going on

Just needed to cope

So we just go with the flow

Another day

Another dollar

I'm back again tomorrow

You got sorrow in your core though

Your core hope is you can

Check it at the door yo

They got enough going on

Just needed to cope

We take a toke

Verse 2

And try to slow it up

First, we gotta roll the blunt

We'll go and have some fun

Damn, that hits like a punch

Take your egos and blow it up

Consciousness in all of us

Pretending we ain't bowl enough

It's too true

We know to love

It's new truth

We know what's up

It's old news

We know the bluff

There's no proof

No holding us

There's motivation

Innovation

Inspiration

Empowered to empower

Yo, we charging up this nation

Hoping this shit could make sense

In expectation

You ain't neglecting

Retrospective

Or just following the collective

Through recessions

And regressions

Protests and investments

Treating them as ourselves

We got a lot more days ahead

Of living in hell

With the best chance to help

Someone else

Cause you know you'd help yourself

It all depends how you been playing

With the cards you've been dealt

But with fear and doubt

They end up selling souls

Just like yourself

Shit

Shit

Final Chorus

Another day

Another dollar

And then we're back again tomorrow

You got sorrow in your core though

Your core hope is you can

Check it at the door yo

They got enough going on

Just needed to cope

So we just go with the flow

Another day

Another dollar

I'm back again tomorrow

You got sorrow in your core though

Your core hope is you can

Check it at the door yo

They got enough going on

Just needed to cope

We take a toke

Yeah

Outro

Another day

Another dollar

And then we're back again tomorrow

You got sorrow in your core though

Your core hope is you can

Check it at the door yo

They got enough going on

Just needed to cope

We take a toke

We take a toke
