lyrics

You can wait for all the money but it's never gonna come
With 2 aces in your pocket you can play the game until it's done
When the angel on your shoulder seems to turn the other cheek
Well it's about time someone came down here to comfort me

The whole world put a hex on my sweet name
Let it all fall to pieces if we stay the same

(ooh) I won't bitch about it
(ooh) gotta be real about it
'cause I shoot myself in the foot in every way
But I won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
Won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day

I was walkin' down the street at night and then I hit a wall
There was a sign that said "where you goin', boy,
You're doing everything wrong"
I thought maybe I was going nowhere but I won't show up late
And the powers that be will surely rescue me
From living in the same old moment of obscurity

I'm running straight but I'm running behind
Gonna change my direction 'til I cross the line

(ooh) I won't bitch about it
(ooh) gotta be real about it
'cause I shoot myself in the foot in every way
But I won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
Won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day

The whole world put a hex on my sweet name
Let it all fall to pieces if we stay the same

(ooh) I won't bitch about it
(ooh) gotta be real about it
'cause I shoot myself in the foot in every way
But I won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
Won't let the weight of this world
Ruin my day
