A Thousand Thousands Lyrics by Ryan Kopperud

The Polar Bear Rug

2015

[Chorus: Eric Mayson]
If I make a million dollars, I'ma give it away
And my mom and pop, what they deserve to be paid
I tell my girl and my sister, everything's okay
Take it slow, I know we only get today
If I make a million dollars, I'ma give it away
And my mom and pop, what they deserve to be paid
I tell my girl and my sister, everything's okay
Take it slow, I know we only get today

[Verse 1: Ryan Kopperud]
Look, I know enough to know that I don't know enough
Barely got a couple bucks, I'm nothin' close to grown up
Still, steerin' this wreck, holdin' a broken clutch
And hopin' we make it home before the sun comes up
Rockin’ a lotta problеms, lookin' for ways to solve ‘em
They ain’t moving fast enough, then we gon' beat the breaks off ‘em
It’s a world o' worry, doctor hop me on some Klonopin
If struggle builds character, shit, I’ma have a lot of it
At 19, I saw my grandfather gasping
Certain seein' the fam have it all would ease the passin'
Music in my heart, but I ain’t never had a passion
Like setting my people straight, and providing it when they’re askin'
I done, paid the toll, paid the piper, paid the tax
Been spending it all fast, just hoping to make it back
I can’t relax, but one day they’ll see
I wanted every last penny, never wanted it for me

[Chorus: Eric Mayson]
If I make a million dollars, I'ma give it away
And my mom and pop, what they deserve to be paid
I tell my girl and my sister, everything's okay
Take it slow, I know we only get today
If I make a million dollars, I'ma give it away
And my mom and pop, what they deserve to be paid
I tell my girl and my sister, everything's okay
Take it slow, I know we only get today

[Verse 2: Ryan Kopperud]
This ain’t no Robin Hood, Goodie-Two-Shoes
Tryna climb outta debt, find myself a little room
If I could have zero dollars, I’d be over the moon
But I’m still broke as a joke, and they keep yelling “Too soon!"
And frankly I’m outta money, the joke ain’t all that funny
And I ain't work this fuckin' hard to let somebody take it from me
Rolling out some patience, twisting up some hope
Sucking down a pain killer, I got gravel in my throat
Stay makin' plans, double fistin' beer cans
Livin' for the weekend, chillin' with my weird friends
Like I'm high these days, on a ride these days
Reflect on best nights, and my mind replays
My city finally looks me in my eyes these days
I guess I'm getting recognized for all the tithes I've paid
No end to the week, elbow grease over beats
No sleep for hustlers, daydreaming of peace

[Chorus: Eric Mayson]
If I make a million dollars, I'ma give it away
And my mom and pop, what they deserve to be paid
I tell my girl and my sister, everything's okay
Take it slow, I know we only get today
If I make a million dollars, I'ma give it away
And my mom and pop, what they deserve to be paid
I tell my girl and my sister, everything's okay
Take it slow, I know we only get today

[Verse 3: Ryan Kopperud]
I mostly sorta both, they ask asleep or awake
And mostly sorta broke, paralyzed by what’s at stake
You’d be surprised by what it takes to get some eyes on what you make
Debatin’ if it's worth it, or how many tries it’ll take
Call me a pall bearer, swear to God I’m gonna carry it
Brown liquor, brown bag, skeletons get buried in
Celebrating life, looking back at the abyss
Statement too scared to make, or date you were scared to miss
Job you were scared to take, or girl you were scared to kiss
But we been doing this for more than free drinks and sweet lips
Seek meaning from speakin’, realizing our gifts
And our worth ain’t in our wallets, it's gotta be more than this
Dimming down the lights, fighting for every wink
Tryna find time to dream, nobody taught me not to think
I won't sleep till I've taken care of everyone I love
Just hoping for leftovers, buy a polar bear rug

[Chorus: Eric Mayson]
If I make a million dollars, I'm gonna give it away
I'm gonna give it away
If I make a million dollars, I'm gonna give it away
I'm gonna give it away, away
If I make a million dollars, I'm gonna give it away
Said I'm gonna give it away, away
Well if I, If I make a million dollars, well I'm gonna give it away
I'm gonna give it away
Said I'm gonna give it away
