Chorus
And I'm quick to relate to a first world problem out of boredom at the bottom of the globe
Problem is nobody really knows
And most problems lay unknown
So i'm swift to tell you about my latest little problem
Especially when I'm on the microphone
Nobody really likes to be alone
I let you know you're not on your own
First Verse
And I’m feeling trapped
like my salary capped
at the bottom of the map in this green habitat
no money in rap so I gotta adapt
just to pay this chap
this pen for this pad
pen hits the pad but I gotta get the paper
maybe I could go mow the lawns for the neighbour
fuck working for a favour
maybe I could cater like a waiter
at the call centre like a damn commentator
more repetition than a track on flava
digging these holes like we're living in a crater
treating these jobs like a game of hot potato
see you later just to entertain ya
up and down town like a personal trainer
reversing in my trailer like a young bricklayer
boss yells some shit like he's damn darth vadar
boss yells some shit like he's damn darth radar
Chorus
And I'm quick to relate to a first world problem out of boredom at the bottom of the globe
Problem is nobody really knows
And most problems lay unknown
So i'm swift to tell you about my latest little problem
Especially when I'm on the microphone
Nobody really likes to be alone
I let you know you're not on your own
Verse 2
Wether stressed about a loan
Smoking on a cone
Or these some girl that you really wanna bone
Living the past
Young and arrears
Life's too fast scared to finish last
Scared to be yourself
Cause they want someone else
Scared to be yourself
Cause they want someone else
Scared to be yourself
Cause they want someone else
Tell em bounce cause your better on your own
And life's a bitch so we all get to moan
life's a bitch can't get her off my dome
life's a bitch so we all make her moan and take her home
a problem shared is a problem halved you stressed about it now like I was in my past
try to carry on with your daily tasks
cause even a flag won't last
half mast
diseconomies of scale looking for a sale in the city of sales
trying to read braille
writing on the wall with terrible spelling
hard sell rebelling
paying for a dwelling
no fore telling
living for the moment
art from component
listening to atonement
zoning moaning inspiration
no vacation from daily creation
Chorus
And I'm quick to relate to a first world problem out of boredom at the bottom of the globe
Problem is nobody really knows
And most problems lay unknown
So i'm swift to tell you about my latest little problem
Especially when I'm on the microphone
Nobody really likes to be alone
I let you know you're not on your own
