Dennis Hobbs - Rent (30's Version)

Textin' me at 6 in the morning, askin' if I got AAA
I ain't even had Chick-fil-A and on top of that, I'm runnin' late
Doubles for the past three days, just to stay out the way
Just quit one of my jobs, it was never really about the pay
Fragile ego played a role, niggas was shootin' they shot on the clock
I wouldn't aim for the goal, tried and I froze
People was lookin' at me like you supposed to have all the hoes

But that ain't the road I'm interested in takin'
Was feelin' rather complacent, ain't have shit to prove with the rock
My name ain't Johnson, Wade, or Bacon, damn Dwayne, that's crazy

Home ain't really felt like home
Look in my room and I always see shit just gone
I was told I gotta be a blessing, but in my mind I wanna be like leave my shit alone
24 hours ain't enough in a day, don't need nobody taggin' along
That ain't what I'm on, I'm gone

Maybe I do need a clone
So many things wanted from me, but I need time on my own
Hell, I'm already prone to bein' bothered
Thinkin' how I could better myself out of these problems
Cause if there's one thing I can say about me
I would feel more confident without my hands out
But at the moment that's not really how it be
So fuck it, I'ma head out

Cause I don't pay no rent around this motherfucker
And if I say something all I'ma hear is
You don't pay no rent around this motherfucker
One more time

I don't pay no rent around this motherfucker
And if I say something all I'ma hear is
You don't pay no rent around this motherfucker

4:44 just dropped and I'm pacin'
With a fresh thought of how I need a vacation
Hov said that strip club line and had me thinkin'
But I really just need to see some booties shakin'

I just got paid and I really been waitin'
To take a little mini trip that'll place me an hour back
I'll head out around 8 and then after that
Hov's advice I would take in

But I really don't like bein' in that state of mind
Where I think that I'm fine
But I'm really hatin' to see what I done became in the mirror lately
I'ma live better I told myself that daily

Phoenix made a comeback I'm in the mood for motivation
Shit I was practicin' how I'd give her them 30 dollars I ain't fakin'
Took the interstate back don't fuck with back roads
Whole drive home thinkin' inside my head

Am I that much of an asshole
Tellin' myself I gotta do better
And just try my best to let certain shit go
But it's kinda hard to think about that when changes just take a toll

To be fair, home don't feel like home
And I can't be there for too long
I just wanna catch up with the fam in the party chat
But when I'm in it I can't crack a joke

Then it turns into aight yall I'ma get off
Lay in the bed I don't wanna mope
I just got off from a ten to a four
But if you need a six to ten I'm right back out the door
