Tryna make a buck from ya

To blame my family

For life being so damn hard

I sholda payed attention

Then I could figure up the tax
I would know a lotta facts

I musta skipped the part
Where they taught the art

I was selling chocolate bars

I was cuttin' up a frog
Got lost in the fog

Learnin' how to play recorder

When it comes to health
