Tekst piosenki
Verse 1
I Do it for the kids with imperfect smiles/
Lying through your teeth was easy/
Standing single file/
___________________________________________
In the line to join the system/
But sooner or later/
You stepped out to make your own life/
Worth your while/
________________________________
I ain’t afraid/
Of anything/
Anymore/
I deserve it how/
I planned it all out/
Making momma proud/
______________________________________________________________
Growing into my own two/
Still living in the basement/
Contradictory statement/
But that ain’t enough to say It’s/
________________________________________________
A waste of investment/
Like more AP’s on my checklist/
Sleep before breakfast/
Prepared for futures they elected/
________________________________________________
Pockets anorexic/
When pursing your passion/
Looking around grey haired at 30/
Wonder where the past went/
Broke as a joke/
_____________________________________________________
Well behind all of your friends/
Your resume got more gaps/
Than retailers for kids/
____________________________________
Money was easy/
And you had it all/
Gave it up/
For a lifelong dream to be a star/
________________________
So be a star/
_______
Hook:
I hope I hope I hope one day/
When the family’s all together in town/
I hope I hope I hope one day/
When we’re together sitting all around/
I hope I hope I hope one day/
You look back on this and just say/
Damn son/
You had me for a minute/
But now I see the proof in your vision/
Verse 2:
I’m at the point at my life/
Where these things don’t come with grades/
So it’s hard to show you/
That I’m working hard for A’s/
_____________________________
But I will say this/
I’ve become more patient with people/
Even learned how to forgive myself for mistakes/
___________
I know that doesn’t equal to a million dollars/
Or a car note that suddenly disappeared/
Off the dining room table/
_____________
But I’m working hard at my dream/
In the dark it seems/
I know but I promise/
I’ll pay you back in dollars/
When I’m able/
_________
I’m always thinking of ways/
I can make you proud/
You almost died/
Bringing me in/
As the new child/
_______
So I know how much this life means/
More pressure/
To say the right thing/
Hope they all feel the words/
That I sing/
One day we’ll be sitting there/
Money calls my name/
Freedom’s on the other end of a polite ring/
________
Till then/
I’m dedicated to this pipe dream/
To give you all the things that you might dream/
So…/
_______
Hook:
I hope I hope I hope one day/
When the family’s all together in town/
I hope I hope I hope one day/
When we’re together sitting all around/
I hope I hope I hope one day/
You look back on this and just say/
Damn son/
You had me for a minute/
But now I see the proof in your vision/
