Another Dollar
Josh Martinez
Sitting in the park with a walkman on nodding my neck hard
And pardon me I didn't see you there
Thank god for the gift of midriff drifting by
Catch a whiff and get high, on a spliff, yes I
I'm talking better than dope and I really like dope
And so it must be good, could it get any better?
Should'a set the sun off with a nice cool breeze
To ease the sweet smell of sweat run off, so please come off
You feel me like a breeze blowing, sitting under trees
writing liking looking out at the seas and fallen leaves
And breathing in the change of season, I don't even need a reason
To be boozing when I'm cruising, as long as shit is pleasing
I love seeing the sun coming into my cave
And crave the haze and still find so many ways to misbehave
See the Josh did done that, and still caught the sunset
Drunk as fuck screaming are we having fun yet?
Chorus:
Another Day, Another Dollar
Wanna Play? Give me a holler
Lets get faded on the bottle
And forget about tomorrow
Lets create a song of sorrow
How we always need to borrow
Loot to get loose
Like who gives a fuck about tomorrow?
Verse 2:
Look out on the water and watch the sun setting
You can smell the rum and coke and you can see that some forgetting
Come the summer ends in smoke soaking up all them rays
It'll end in autumn gray, and smoking leaves on rainy days
The greens of today are the browns of tomorrow
And yesterdays sorrow is the legacy we follow
In the yesteryears, the X amount of beers we quenched our fears with
Were forgotten like so many friends we went and spilled our tears with
To me the seas are calling, see I've fallen into love
With ska, dub and the dope dance hall
It seized me by the collar and it hollered you've been mollycoddled long enough
Are you man enough? Are you strong enough?
The world is yours but your divorced from it
So close to the top and you haven't seen the summit
Been talking and dreaming for so long and ain't done it
When the prey becomes the predator, the dream becomes the haunted
Chorus
Verse 3
Man I'm missing sitting kissing, talking shit, and pissing wine
Getting sunk feeling, remember reeling drunk and drooling time
On life I'm buzzing nicely, maybe it might be caused
By laws that aren't likely to have teeth, let alone jaws
Each and every leech that has a cause is always preaching
A one-sided thesis that comes from flawed teaching
Smoking pot to pass the time, what a crock I'm past my prime
But wheres the clock thats telling time, when I'm the rock that time forgot
Not ready to go steady, I'm not into the petty
Pity parties and confetti, man I been there already
I can be your man if you could only understand
That I cant be held down by nothing just yet
See I don't care about the money, shit, I wanna live right too
But one plus one equals none left for me to like you
If you want it, you got it, if you break it you bought it
If you thought it would be cool to play the fool, you've been spotted
