T.J. Miller - Make Me Laugh lyrics
Hey! Uh huh!
Woo! Check it, check it on out.
Ugly Duckling
Now we've done tons of tours out to distant shores
If we couldn't afford beds then we slept on floors
To play, (sleazy dives?), after ten hour drives
Scrapin' by, tryin' to keep the music alive
I started off working coffee shops
Two blocks from my mom's spot, man I never thought
I'd do this for a living, let alone make dough
All I ever wanted was the crowd to yell "Ho!"
T.J.
Let me take you on a journey, yo it's time to embark
I would go anywhere for the love of my art
So I don't need a limo, just a town car
And I could deal if my hotel is four stars
I'm roughin' it, man, RIP Liz Taylor
As long as I don't have to share a trailer
And if they sold out of the first cla** tickets
Heh...heh... I migh- I might like to fly business
U.D.
Business cla**, wow.
Man, we gotta drive to shows.
T.J.
Yeah, well, you know, for me it's making cutbacks
It's all about paying dues, right?
U.D.
That's not really paying dues, T.J.
Here we go
From coast to coast, y'all, all over the map
It's not about the money, it's all about the craft
They think it's so easy, but they don't know the half
Let's take it to the stage, man you only make me laugh
You only make me laugh
Now, it's no joke the way they promote materialism
Imma kick a little lecture, get your head up and listen
It's a course, dead set, to a head on collision
You'll end up dead or in prison, make a better decision
My bank account doesn't hold huge amounts
And I'd be lying if I said I wrote a check that never bounced
Don't need the whole cake, just a slice or a portion
Don't do it for the fame, won't do it for the fortune
T.J.
People all about the greed and it's tasteless
So in my life, I only need the basics
Food, shelter, and my dad's Rolex
Plus a couple tropical spots in which to relax
Hip-hop isn't about the money that you make
It's about other people's ideas and which ones you take
You talk about the chicks and the nuts that you bust
I prefer to pay one hooker, I'm monogamous
(I'm monogamous, I'm monogamous...)
U.D.
Yo, yo, man. Calm down, brah.
TJ, relax, man; you gotta be cool.
T.J.
Well, I kinda messed up the verse beforehand
So then I went all DMX, I don't know what happened.
U.D.
Here we go.
T.J.
All right, all right.
From coast to coast, y'all, all over the map
It's not about the money, it's all about the craft
They think it's so easy, but they don't know the half
Let's take it to the stage, man you only make me laugh
You only make me laugh
