I don't really own nothing
I don't really own my mind
I don't really own nothing
I just have a lease on life
There's a thought (Me?) in my head (Please)
Living rent free, well that's the only thing (Yeah)
I'm not a notary signing off of hope and dream
The only way to grow the tree is over over over me
Ante up-if you want the only boss key
Better hit that Loss P wing stealing sauce thief
Vibe shift exhausting, with every day on lost seas
Finding it too costly to even share the tea
No CODs, crawling on hands and knees to feed
Need payment in advance plus (Minus) fees
I just wanna sleep, wanna be 3D when I breathe
On all'a da things I try to keep part of my person down to the teeth
No-bones day (Nope) I couldn't afford it anyway
There's no rainy day dentist under the pain of getting paid
Feeling good is schway (Yeh) the cost is every memory made (Oh?)
Every picture we take (What?) and every penny we saved (Huh)
I don't really own nothing
I don't really own my mind
I don't really own nothing
I just have a lease on life
I don't really own nothing
I don't really own my mind
I don't really own nothing
I just have a lease on life
(Phone!) I don't own it (Car!) I don't own it
(House!) I don't own it, I don't own it!
Feeling mid when I'm flowing and overloading on the notion
Underneath the corporate slogan, drink the potion feel the motion
I can taste the bene-fits and starts, stop and open
Like a record of greatest hits, every moment has been chosen
All it really takes is a bit of time and you're devotion
Nothing else to blame but you're own skin
Well then, caught in a tower like Calliope
Every night I plea begging the Dreaming for release
But it's only me-no entry on the scene
Cash and carry, make the play, the expense, all my needs
What does it mean? When you're living hand to mouth
And everything you read about finding a way out
Has the same decree: the way you make it through a drought (It's simple)
Give up on all the things that could make you drown (Wait)
Easy for you to say, you're still writing
There's no ink in my pen cuz I'm dying
I don't really own nothing
I don't really own my mind
I don't really own nothing
I just have a lease on life
I don't really own nothing
I don't really own my mind
I don't really own nothing
I just have a lease on life
I don't really own nothing
I don't really own my mind
I don't really own nothing
I just have a lease on life
I don't really own nothing
I don't really own my mind
I don't really own nothing
I just have a lease on life
