Lyrics

Responsibilities

[Intro]

At least you still talk back oh God damn

I ain't mad, I'm crazy motherfucker

[Verse 1: Anderson .Paak]

Puffy said it's all about the Benjamins

I'm good at making money but I'm way better at spending it

The heartache is killing me, I drink enough to numb the feeling

You know I'm chasing pennies

Mama said I need to see the bigger vision

But I'm broke, mama, I can't pay attention

Hey I'm dippin' in my rent money

Like it ain't comin' at the top of the (?)

My gas tank, never wanted to fill it

The chrome wheels make the bitches go silly

I just park it where they can see me

I'm eatin' out every evenin'

Coppin' trees like it's Christmas season

I can spend it before I get it

If you blink you miss it and niggas talkin' about investin'

You can miss me with it

Invest in these Jordans, nigga

[Chorus: BJ The Chicago Kid]

Look at you with your fancy shoes

And your high priced clothes

Tell me what you know

But no money in your pocket

Don't you need to stop it

That hold you got on yourself, you gotta unlock it

But I get what you tellin' me yeah

Fuck my responsibilities

[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]

I used to backpack back tracking train to train

Way back in the days, seek hoes in my younger grade

No direction no lane, blowin' stacks in the rain

God bless me I came out of it

Had a little seed and doubled up my salary

Responsibilities, I had to handle 'em

Took my ass out the club, put more time into what's valuable

And I still don't know shit bout a 401k

But if I get a little extra I put that money away

I ain't stressin' bout the future, take it day to day

It's a marathon baby I'm just learnin' the pace

The more money I make

The more money they take

The more talkin' you do

The less food on your plate

It's a marathon baby I'm just learnin' the pace

Take it day by day

[Chorus: BJ The Chicago Kid]

Look at you with your fancy shoes

And your high priced clothes

Tell me what you know

But no money in your pocket

Don't you need to stop it

That hold you got on yourself, you gotta unlock it

But I get what you tellin' me yeah

Fuck my responsibilities
