MSTRFRD - Broke On Payday lyrics

[Newscast] When I look at even $15 an hour and I multiply out that's like $30,000 a year and it's hard for me to imagine how anybody could even live on $30,000 a year much less $9.19. These were never intended to be living wage jobs to begin with they're entry level jobs [Verse 1: MSTRFRD] It's payday and I'm flat broke My wallet feelin' empty like an egg without the yolk This ain't a joke listen to what I'm sayin' My account stay at zero from all these bills I'm payin' Bills that I'm payin I can't afford them all I don't think I can take another bill collector call Hi my name is Amber is Marcus in? Naw you got the wrong number you better try again I'm livin' life paycheck to paycheck Man this sh** is gettin' old Casio tape deck Gotta get to work quick Nestle Hopped up in the car gas tank was on E Well that's how it goes when your money ain't stackin' right Up and down green to red stop and go traffic light They always say if it ain't broke don't fix it Well I need a mechanic who's certified & listed [Newscast] And he's in favor of the initiative that he's worried because a lot of the population of SeaTac is blue collar and would simply be and are resentful [Verse 2: MSTRFRD] I'm on that paper chase where the money at Steady slippin' off my game no bath mat Unemployed collectin' checks from the state Can't gain employment but I'm steady gainin' weight No job no health care Rent past due status up in the air I'm countin' change pockets on mighty mouse Lookin' for an instant win publisher's clearin' house At the pawn shop lookin' to get some green Part of growin' breed in search of a vaccine The recession here and it ain't leavin' soon My debt's a natural disaster hurricane typhoon I stay on my grind no mountain too high Just ran out of toilet paper told my girl drip dry Life's a b**h, then they say you die I'm far from overachievin' I'm barely gettin' by [Newscast] Different jobs that require different sk** levels and here if you raise the minimum wage up here you would have a lot of people being paid more than they should be for the jobs that you still have to have them do [Verse 3: MSTRFRD] My money's short my debt's long Broke on payday you know its dead wrong The weekend's here and I ain't do nothin' Another lonely night for me while the party's jumpin' Just got a call from a restricted number I hit ignore on cue without a cumber Feelin' like a fugitive call me Harrison Ford Workin' with Equifax to get my credit restored No ID theft just writin' bad checks I'm always strapped for cash call it safe s** My situation is lookin' too depressin' I need caressin' a blessin' to you I am confessin' This matter's private and I ain't talkin' balls Whatchu mean declined you're k**in' me smalls I forgot to pay Avista without a doubt I hope I finish this line before the powers out [Newscast] An entry level job is paid accordingly. We can't just artificially raise this rate up to $15 an hour and say, "Hey I can't afford to live, I'm not making enough money." You're in the wrong job. You need get more education, more sk**s and move up
