far east movement - blue collar blues lyrics
[hook 1]
if you broke clap your hands
you got less than a dub, clap your hands
if you can jiggle your change, clap your hands
clap your hands, come on clap your hands
[hook 2: mary jane]
everything’s gonna be alright
man gas prices making me work overtime
everythings gonna be ok
sleeping on the floor is better for your back anyway
everything’s gonna be just fine
who needs electricity when you got the streetlights
the next day the sun will still shine
even if you ain’t paying your rent on time
[verse 1: j-splif]
alarm ring so i spring out my bed
must have slept wrong theres a kink on my neck
stress of daily living thinking d-mn will i make it
in the cold hearted world being broke it forsaken
in our society money’s vital like arteries
ain’t no comedy when you broke and have a family
it’s the poverty that makes it hard to live honestly
my hands getting dirty n0body respects modesty
the dollar bill is the blame for mans ill
the dollar bill breeds every inch of mans k!ll
i know how it feels to be laid on them bills
make the minimum payments still the interest builds
empty out my pockets grab a fistful of lint
thinking of a hustle ’cause i gots to pay rent
through my paper and pen i pour my heart and my soul
change the situation quick ’cause i’m sick of being broke
[hook 2: mary jane]
everything’s gonna be alright
man gas prices making me work overtime
everythings gonna be ok
sleeping on the floor is better for your back anyway
everything’s gonna be just fine
who needs electricity when you got the streetlights
the next day the sun will still shine
even if you ain’t paying your rent on time
[verse 2: prohgress]
yo i met this fly honey, shorty was fine
ask her for the time she was a quarter to dimes
looked her in the eye got caught up in the whirlwind
started with a look and all a sudden she my girlfriend
i started taking her out
but telling me about her town was all that she could talk about
days turned to weeks and i started to believe her
roads that were paved with gold, so we moved east
but the moment that we got up off the airplane
she looked away from me and said that everything’s changed
i held her close and told her baby it’ll be ok
then i felt her right hand push me away
leaving me alone, i left a good thing at home
family and friends and a college education
lady liberty done had me confused
so i work whistling the blue collar blues
[hook 1]
if you broke clap your hands
you got less than a dub, clap your hands
if you can jiggle your change, clap your hands
clap your hands, come on clap your hands
[verse 3: kev nish]
what i’ve been through ain’t nothing new under the sun
just letting you know, that it’s a new day
still struggle the same, the trouble the same
imma save every dollar ’til i make a change
you know i dig through the ashtray to make that change
i give a bum a dollar hope to make a change
sweat on my blue collar never see no change
i pay more but my w2 still the same
politicians go past ’till the well runs dry
sh-lls don’t fly, death in the east paid by
hard working tax paying non voten unspoken
every day d-mn people the government can’t notice
you focus on the fact that i can’t do the math
then you call us into cl-ss ’cause we don’t finish cl-ss
but we won’t finish last broke begging for cash
when i make more than you, you can kiss my -ss
[hook 2: mary jane]
everything’s gonna be alright
man gas prices making me work overtime
everythings gonna be ok
sleeping on the floor is better for your back anyway
everything’s gonna be just fine
who needs electricity when you got the streetlights
the next day the sun will still shine
even if you ain’t paying your rent on time
[interlude]
to the mom with 2 jobs ’cause daddys away
just do your thing
to the bum on the freeway begging for change
just do your thing
to the student working hard to pave their own way
just do your thing
and if you ain’t there yet but you wanna get paid
make that change
[hook 1]
if you broke clap your hands
you got less than a dub, clap your hands
if you can jiggle your change, clap your hands
clap your hands, come on clap your hands
[outro]
you wanna get that dough and get that cash
you wanna make that money today
you gotta get that loot and eat that food
you gotta do what you do to get paid
