lyrics

It's not for the lack of trying
been trying to hold you but you never stay
tired of staring up at those hills
where the people who got you must be laughing all day
It's just that simple
being born on first base don't mean you hit no triple
so me and my scrappy friends warmed the benches in June
tried working hard one summer
did overtime and still could never get ahead
said, "screw it" I'm not some fool
so i sold me some dime bags in the back of my school
but I smoked up the profits
just some stems and seeds in otherwise empty pockets
too poor to even ask my two year crush to the dance
come one money money it's me
why do you go about your business so separately
well it ain't funny just wait and you'll see
I never did nothing to money
but money hates me

they say nobody needs to be happy but it's always people with it who
always saying that they'd still be happy if they didn't have and they're
always trying to tell you that with mouth fulls of single malt scotch
and lobster tail filled teeth
We've had some brief romances
so I take you out to celebrate and put some down
but every time i come to I'm alone with a headache and there is no sign of you
so i bought a bigger wallet
to hold you in case you saw it
then you'd know for sure that i'm for real this time
come on money come back to me
i'll give you one last chance to prove yourself
we'll wip the slate clean
but just like always you sail off to sea
i never did nothing to money
I stayed in on the weekends I drank on the cheap
i even tried a couple times to get an online degree
but here I am still broke and hungry
man i did all i could for money
but money hates me
