Lyrics

My lady late like the rent, I'm skint Every cent that I made I spent Cut the cheque and I paid my pimp Now all I got is this pocket lint Bank that run the world ain't my friend Man that own the land ain't my kin Fingers crossed at the ATM All I got is this pocket lint Pocket lint Pocket lint (All I got is this) Pocket Lint Pocket lint Pocket lint Pocket lint Low down, broke, no cash No hope, skint, nomad No plan B, no stash Only got the crumbs sitting in my mustache Time to get away, get off my broke ass Getting on a plane, no plan to go back Ain't no place like home, I know that But there are a couple dudes I know that smoke crack And they say that, "Hey it ain't so bad" But they don't really know, they got a rich old man Talking about some land that I don't have Talking about some avocado smash Haves don't wanna know what I don't have And the bank won't give me a loan for Home Brand Just tryna support my own fam But I can't even afford a home in my homeland Cause all I got is some pocket lint Yeah I said all I got is some pocket lint Yeah all I got is just some pocket lint Pocket lint Pocket lint Pocket lint The milk, the bread, the bills, the bed The fruit, the veg, the warrant and reg The battery dead, an arm and a leg to get a carton of eggs A bottle of white, a bottle of red, a bottle of meds The money she lent, the money you spent The money you're meant to pay the rent, here's the repo men again Unread envelope on the bench One step from the edge, on he end Of a three-day bend at the ATM On a sunday 8 am, again The price of life, the price of death The price of gas, the price of meth, the side effects of stress Tryna stretch the cheque till next payday Pray Baycorp forget to get back Before the debt get up to the neck Back against the wall, 'bout to lose your head Power bill, water bill, cigarettes, internet Fifty cent in the piggy bank for the picket fence Dream that you'll never get, scheming the benefit Never get the benefit of the doubt though, never left home Nobody wins at WINZ, they're all pimps No sympathy, they think we're all chimps Rich all think the poor are all crims None of them have had to clean the toilet Hard when you're born in Auckland Gotta pawn an organ to afford the fucking mortgage It's tense living in tents We've all been desensitized, they pretending like It's all good, it's good to be them Got a new PM with a cool boyfriend But she never comes to my ends The ends don't ever meet, the week don't ever end I got to keep all the dirt under the bed Just so I can keep a roof over the head Government wanna take twenty percent Time I get paid all my money is spent All I got left is some pocket lint Pocket lint Pocket lint One day, you'll get older One day you'll get over One day, you'll closer One day, you'll get closure One day, you'll get slower One day, you'll get sober One day, you'll get somewhere One day, you'll get nowhere One day, you'll get higher One day, you'll get lower One day, you'll take over One day, you'll get broker One day at a time Just take it one day at a time
