lyrics

intro/hook
la vida es sueño
wake up
get up
lay back down
(si bueno)
god got me on the payroll
make dollars spend pesos
la vida es sueño
wake up
get up
lay back down
(si bueno)

v1
i’d rather take a risk
maybe sit in a cage
than be standing all day
making minimum wage
clocking out at the end of the day
digging a grave
see who hit bottom fastest
as if it’s a race (oh wait)
it’s hard to earn a penny to save
when spotify pays
fractions of a penny for plays
sun tzu say know the enemy’s ways
so heads catch a blade
then set on display (it’s beautiful)
that’s one way to stay ahead of the game
i’m a black market celeb
indebted to fame
poison with neat packaging
and excellent aim
artistic direction
injected in veins (dang)
it’s concentrated
leave a resinous stain
got some itchy trigger sticky fingers
ready to bang
it’s hard to hate the pain
but respect it the same
don’t be a sleeper
i’m the ether
i’m a sedative mane

hook
(si bueno)
god got me on the payroll
make dollars spend pesos
la vida es sueño
wake up
get up
lay back down
(si bueno)
god got me on the payroll
make dollars spend pesos
la vida es sueño
wake up
get up
lay back down
(si)

v2
i’m half a smoke away
basically up the block
measure distance in american spirits
and picking locks
measure time on a digital scale
prolly do the trick
last run up for a month
tryna move a brick
just another pocket full of stones
in the wall
the teachers never leave the kids alone
at all
invisible lines red zoned in the fog
with a neat pile of bones
just to break one’s fall (aww)
but take that with a grain of salt
somebody get a M.O.P.
when the game go soft
lil fame taught us how to make em
take chains off
and the gangs on call
if that thang goes off
bet
the system left me feeling apathetic
got a cool calm aesthetic
till the drama come and dead it
i’m kinda hot headed
from the trauma i neglected
i be damned if ima let it
on my mama ima get it

hook
(si bueno)
god got me on the payroll
make dollars spend pesos
la vida es sueño
wake up
get up
lay back down
(si bueno)
god got me on the payroll
make dollars spend pesos
la vida es sueño
wake up
get up
lay back down
(si bueno)
