Ea$y Money (Not so Easy)

Ea$y Money (Not so easy)

Cutting in line
Won’t wait my turn
It’s my money and
I want to collect

But the game ain’t over
There’s still time
For it to fall to pieces
Does it almost every time

Life of a Rider
Comin up short in the end
They say insanity is
When you rinse and repeat

Tryin to make an easy buck
Instead of just being
Losing an easy buck instead
Of pocketing

Life of a Rider
Isn’t an easy path
Want to get rid of this
Insanity not so easy

Try and make an easy buck
Turn around and see your soul
For it falls to pieces
Does it every single time

Tried to cut in line instead of
Just working
Made me feel like a big shot
Felt so little inside

Making an easy buck
Is sexy and obscene
Not havin to sweat
To earn your share

Making an easy buck
Is a dream unrealized
Chasing some green
Not putting in the time
Betting on others
With your hard earned dimes
