Popular Bum Lyrics by Rob Riley

2023

[Verse:Rob Riley]
Rather struggle myself
Then hustle for someone else
100 percent of nothing
Better than splitting ya check
Breaking your neck
Breaking a sweat
Tryna better yourself
In the ending
There’s hardly anything left
Blessed to get the same 24
As anyone else
And have plenty help
But I’m still depressed
Em-bar-essed
Feelin’ finеssed
Wake up, get drеssed
To face debt
Upset I can’t figure it out
Goal post moved millions of miles
When in doubt
I was told pray on it
Hope like rope can’t hang on it
Nope is nope
Can’t wait on shit
[Chorus: Brian Vandross & Rob Riley]
See it from the ledge, high
Sleepless gotta red eye
Out here stackin’ dead guys
Blowin’ smokin’ head high
Tryna have my mind right
Do it for the time right
Never gone be my time
Fighting all my damn life
[Verse: Rob Riley]
Rent due, singing the same ole
Bread better stale and day old
Then nothing left
Crumbs on a shelf
Shell of yoself
Hell of a life
Relevance felt
Down in the depths
Dependent on BFF’s
Vetted themselves
Codependent co-defendant
Never settle for less
So woke can’t get a good rest
So broke can no longer afford to help
Unless your used to the business as usual
Brutal resistance is futile
Shift gears or get stuck in neutral
What I’m telling you potent as edibles
In this petting zoo
Ineligible no one getting to
Perpetual motion
Forces continue to lure you into
Venues you no longer into
Then you got chances slim as stencil
Do something fucked up
They’ll never forgive you
Why should they?
