Livin lyrics

[Chorus: Remi Kolawole]

Trying to get shit moving, brain cells stinging

From no sleep and the smoke we're breathing

Because everyone's got to make a living

Get shit moving, brain cells stinging

From no sleep and the smoke we're breathing

Because everyone's got to make a living

[Verse 1: Remi Kolawole & Sensible J]

I see clones everywhere, I'm George Lucas

I've listened to Morpheus way too much

'Cause I feel I've been unplugged, looking through weed smoke

I see The Man now and he don't give two fucks

He's saying we should get up, get out and break even

The fact that you're breathing is a blessing from your Jesus

So that should be enough to get you through to the weekend

What, and die working for computers at our jobs like Steve did?

Or maybe doing hard labour until you're bleeding

Like people having babies they don't want or need yet

Even Stevie can see that it's nonsense to work

So the boss can get some new Beamers, fuck that arsehole

If he wants a castle, then tell him he's dreaming

What has he done for me except give me this pay cheque?

Oh, so measly, and give me more grief than a cemetery shit

That's why I've gotta lead, I can't follow, I've got product to offer

Uh, it's so hot that the cops want it in lock up

So, me and my team are full speed 'til we fuck up

We're not like Dwayne Johnson, we won't stop the rock

But we've got no sponsors for our world vision

That's why we're up late nights like advertisements

For Adult Friend Finder, as well as working nine-to-five

It's grind or die when you and your guys are trying to

[Chorus: Remi Kolawole]

Trying to get shit moving, brain cells stinging

From no sleep and the smoke we're breathing

Because everyone's got to make a living

Get shit moving, brain cells stinging

From no sleep and the smoke we're breathing

Because everyone's got to make a living

[Verse 2: Remi Kolawole]

Maybe I've got it twisted

Maybe there was a class on how to think and I missed it

But I have got so many homies going bald as Moby

'Cause they're stretched out, life got 'em fisted

We fucked around at school 'cause they taught nothing of interest

We would have failed everything from math to piss tests

Some of these kids left to start street science

Got charged like matador for tryin' to shift methamphetamine

You know, on some Heisenberg shit, now they're grown

Smoking at home, fly as some bird shit

Other kids dropped out and decided to start building

Working with hands like their colleague is German

But we can't all get cash from tool like Maynard

So the appeal of breaking your back will fade fast

But when your missus is up the duff

Like a Simpson, you're kind of stuck

That's why our rental homes are furnished with hard rubbish

But that's livin'

[Chorus: Remi Kolawole]

Get shit moving, brain cells stinging

From no sleep and the smoke we're breathing

Because everyone's got to make a living

Get shit moving, brain cells stinging

From no sleep and the smoke we're breathing

Because everyone's got to make a living

[Verse 3: Remi Kolawole]

To the guys studying to get their money

Yeah, you should throw your hands up, throw your hands up

To my ladies at university, getting their purses heavy

Hands up, throw your hands up and surrender

'Cause you are the Futurama on three-day benders

But I hope your dreams come to fruition

And you make the right decision

Also hope you're scholarshipping

If not, you've got one piece of paper and debt from tuition

That's livin'

[Chorus: Remi Kolawole]

Trying to get shit moving, moving, moving

Because everyone's got to make a living

Get shit moving, moving, moving

Because everyone's got to make a living
