Pursuit of Happiness Lyrics by Talaya.

Existential Soul

2021

[Verse 1]
I like to receive it
But I don’t wanna give it up
I’ll set the roof on fire
Before I cut my sleeves up
Maybe tell ‘em that I tripped off the cliff
Say I got a couple kids at the crib
Whatever it is
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish that I just could
I wish I wish I wish
[Chorus]
If I could just hold it
Maybe even control it
What would you do if it had no hold over you
I hate being in this money pit
Truthfully I don’t give a
And the deeper I sink
The more I see that crime pays
Crime pays
[Post-Chorus]
Pays
It pays
It pays
[Verse 2]
So will I just perish broke?
Along with everyone else
I want to leavе a legacy of my own
Continue my family’s wealth
I nеver thought I’d be so afraid
Of not knowing
When that check’s gon’ come
I thought I’d won
So don’t you Kurt Cobain me
Absolutely no desire to be famous
Whatever you choose
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I just could
I wish I wish I wish
[Chorus]
I pray that I could just hold it
Maybe even control it
What would you do if it had no hold over you
I hate being in this money pit
Truthfully I don’t give a not one
And the deeper I sink
The more I see that crime pays
Crime pays
