Intro: Em C D Em x4

Em         C
Government man keep calling my house
D          Em
talking ‘bout i owe, harassing my spouse.
Em           C
Gotta park my truck on another block
     D           Em
cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hock.
   Em            C
Gotta couple good friends with helping hands
     D              Em
I need a brand new job with a health care plan.
   Em           C
They closed the plant, they stole my job
    D               Em
told me crime don’t pay unless you ask the mob.
   Em          C
So i smoke a little grass, drink a little wine.
D          Em
Watch a little tube, try to kill a little time.
  Em         C
And every single day i fall a little more behind.
    D         Em
But i’m paying it no mind, it’ll all be fine.

Party people in the place to be

Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by

It’s on and on till the brake of dawn
    D             Em
Got to keep the rent paid and the power on
Em           C
 Yes yes y’all and it never stops.
    D               Em
I don’t trust the government, i don’t trust no cops.
  Em           C
We dip and we dive and we socialize

We struggle and we strive just to stay alive.

No Chords
When I finally anekatips get home I can’t relax.
cause i’ve been over worked and i’ve been over taxed.
My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed.
and i ain't looking for no pity, i’m just stating the facts.

No Chords
I voted for some change and it’s kinda strange,
No it’s all i got in my pocket.
I bought a few led’s, now i’m growing some trees,
And it’s a sweet fking hustle don’t knock it.

No chords
I told y’all before i would break the law
to put some food in my baby girl’s belly.
cause the senator man took a bribe in hand
And went and shipped my job to new delhi.

It’s on and on till the brake of dawn
    D             Em
Got to keep the rent paid and the power on

Yes yes y’all and it never stops.
