The Common Man

Delinquent Habits

Take a breath and catch up 
To know you ain't alone and somebody gives a fuck 
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

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 shit 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

Take a breath and catch up 
To know you ain't alone and somebody gives a fuck

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

Take a breath and catch up 
To know you ain't alone and somebody gives a fuck 
Not everyone's selfish, there are those who care 
And this call is for all of those out there

I feel what you're feeling too, been there yup 
I'mma drink what you're drinking to, tip your cup 
? 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 ? 
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
