Delinquent Habits - The Common Man lyrics

[Chorus] Take a breath and catch up To know you ain't alone and somebody gives a f** Not everyone's selfish, there are those who care And this call is for all of those out there They want a shout out yeah raise their cups A toast to the common man, please stand up I feel what you're feeling too, been there yup I'mma drink what you're drinking to, tip your cup [Verse 1] No matter what beneath the surface We all hurting and the stress ain't worth it It's a bad time in life but the sh** ain't curtains Just a little bit of peace all we need for certain Banks is failing and Wall Street crumbling And all those in charge they twiddle their thumbs bumbling While the dollars that they heard is numbering Double by the second leaving my folks wondering What's left for the people like us Who cook, who clean, who ride the bus Who live life with hope in a higher trust And when head hits the pillow with a tired thrust What about the ones who deal with news Who deal with injustice and sing the blues It all depends on which path you choose I choose now go easy this one's for you [Chorus] [Verse 2] So listen hey hey, there ain't no maybe Live most of my life just south of crazy And no I was not a pampered baby The spoon was rusted and the TV hazy The jeans were faded, the gold was plated More than common, I was underrated That's when my lifestyle became sedated Eyes half-closed, listen it's cool because I'm faded Forget all that made me hated Had a smooth knack for playing the low and downgraded But this time I contemplated through knowledge downwind ? and created This song for ones like me who wanna live their life and be let be Who survive most days on a hope that cope And not end up on dope or the end of a rope [Chorus] [Verse 3] Liz with the lies and the game life playing I don't know it all but I speak the truth I'm saying Every night bow my head and to the sky I'm praying About conflict and message and the rhymes I'm laying I got a few things that's been on my mind Like the cause of poverty, the rise in crime The homeless rate, unemployment climbs And we're reminded every hour it's a volatile time So where the complaint box I'mma stand in line I'mma send it by post, SMS, online Tell em all the job they're doing ain't fine They think they're high on the hog, they're really just swine While we struggle to find the time Just smile a little, enjoy some wine And do believe me, I'm down for mine I'm down for yours too now relax, unwind [Chorus]
