SHAD - The Old Prince Still Lives At Home lyrics

rate me

I live at home still

Not paying phone bills

Hydro or rent

And my mom makes most meals

So it's so I'll

I don't need no scrill

Only cash for gas

When I borrow my folks' wheels

(But you can't drive)

Whatever our van died

(Get a good bike)

Who I look like, that lance guy?

I ain't pushin no banana seat

Lookin like some 8-year old kid on your grandma's street

You can go ahead and call me lazy

I just retired real young ya'll, call me jay-z

Or maybe I just hate these crappy jobs

Call my crazy, but I refuse to work em man

It's miserable

Can't do it 'less it's due to circumstance

And I need the cash to feed my astronomical appetite

But for the time being ya'll, I'll sacrifice

And have a life minus a couple of luxuries

Just cutting by budget schemes

And getting some stuff for free

Like whys a brother need a dentist?

It's expensive and my gums'll bleed

They do everytime when he scrubs em clean

And every year they try to bump the fee

Plus he'll prolly recommend braces - there you go

That's another G!

Well thanks a lot doc but listen

I can brush my teeth all on my own

So you ain't gon hustle me!

So that takes care of the dental plan

Now heres a potential scam

Getting my toes crushed by a rental van

Then if I

Sued the driver and the rental guys

Enterprise or whatever

I bet they would settled niiice

Court adjourned, now I just gotta pay

For the law forms

That's easy - spend 2 weeks eatin popcorn

Like students 'cept I'm grown and it's not dorms

So it's a bit more pathetic - ok a lot more...

But what ya'll gotta mock for (mach 4)?

What's wrong with my mach 3?

Ya'll gotta be macho and mach more

Well not me and I do not need to change blades

It's all my own hair I shave

Chin back face legs

And the rashes rarely last more than 8 days

Usually so it's cool with me - I can save great

And hygene ain't no reason to buy things

Like soap or visine or getting clothes dry cleaned

I don't throw away dough on no facials

Yeah I make rolls of my pennies

I even pay folks

In clubs out this case full of pesos I lug

Get em exchanged? Nope, I'm waiting til the rate's low

Don't hate yo

Just cause ya'll wasteful

Ya'll wanna make your bruh the scapegoat

It's bugged...

It's all nuance

Use your head - why get a bed and couch

When you can slouch on a futon instead

If you got a little bread like croutons

Download them new songs and spread them coupons

If you happy when you save 2 dollars a week

You steal your neighbors empty bottles

And keep all your receipts and only treat your girl

Yearly to McDonalds to eat

Don't be ashamed, pop your collars mang - holler at me!

If ya'll are this cheap

This is for acknowledging peeps

That gotta track every dime usin columns and sheets

If you strip search the mall for the bargain to beat

Like everyday you're just a penny safe from starved in the street

Keep carvin a niche

I'm started in a jar for the wee

Little shaddies still to come for their college degree

Yo I figure starting early on the market is key

I plan on havin smart daughters all Harvard md

And regardless we gon never put a car on the streets

'less them gas prices lower and the parking is free

And no parka for me

Not even gloves scarves or a fleece

I may freeze but I'll keep savin marvellously... holla!
