Maybe? Nope./ I remember school like--dude, it was a joke/ So much of us, wanted to grow up/ I was the only one at graduation feelin’ like throw up/ Now, I don’t feel tow up, but still bills will show up/ every single week, like yo what—/ Is the flippin’ deal/ and doesn’t it occur to you that it’s a sin steal/ Yet you show up in my wallet like a thief foreal/ I demand an explanation and a meal/ But let me guess, that cost money/ and money has to come from a place that’s not funny/ We call it work, so we work til it hurts/ sometimes we get a meal but were treated like jerks/ But with no explanation/ I guess I didn’t make enough to make the payment/ .....Remember? I wanted a meal and explanation/ but I couldn’t make the payment/ [Hook] If Only-- Work Didn't suck
