No Tables

Look at that, it's another day Sleep and somber in my eyes Blink that shit away Paste on a smile, huff my tears Like I'm in the first grade It's time to face the day Because we got to get paid I've seen the highs and the lows often enough It's the ebbs and the flows that are driving each puff I'm on the rise but I'm coughing up My sins are just starting up Give me another week and you'll see me in the foreign Drop top, crock pot I mean I'm cooking up, planning The life that I been living the masses called it damning But I'm not standing in the shadows no more Light I've been adding to my past & my future We've reached an understanding Because I've been tried And I've been played In spite of myself I see another day If I'm not chasing the bag, I know another may And if it's not about my money the devil finds another way We eat standing up In the kitchen cooking with them We eat standing up No time for tables, always switching We eat standing up Next in line I'm on a mission We eat standing up We eat standing up We eat standing up In the kitchen cooking with them We eat standing up No time for tables, always switching We eat standing up Next in line I'm on a mission We eat standing up We eat standing up I've seen struggles man I know them intimately So far my lifespan Not something proud to me I made the game plan I paid the criminal fee Stuck in a cycle pushing forward try to really feel free I've been going through the motions Find me praying by the ocean The moon pulls me in On the shore wave explosion My old life dead I'm only popping ibuprofen The pain and the scars are only signs of my devotion With my first paycheck I bought myself some new Vans With the double stuff sole the higher view is so grand With my last two cents I'm getting two cans Of the Mickey's so I'm never forgetting where I stand Because where we come from We don't need no tables Never staying stagnant Where we going We don't need no tables Never stay, never stay, never stay We eat standing up In the kitchen cooking with them We eat standing up No time for tables, always switching We eat standing up Next in line I'm on a mission We eat standing up We eat standing up We eat standing up In the kitchen cooking with them We eat standing up No time for tables, always switching We eat standing up Next in line I'm on a mission We eat standing up We eat standing up
