Credit complications in the checkout line
Its an awkward situation almost every time
They keep your card behind and they keep your groceries too, yeah they do
You try telling everybody it s a terrible mistake
But you can tell they don t believe that s true
They see it all over you when you re broke
I hung my head down as I walked out the door
I m never ever going back to that store
They treated me like a bum in front of everyone behind me in line
It was all my friends and neighbors looking at me
Like I committed some kind of crime
I guess you ain t worth a dime when your broke
Chorus:
Now if I had money like I did in my day
Just out of spite I think I d give it away
I thought it didn t even matter anyway and
And the more I thought the madder I got
By the time i got home, I was seein red
I pulled a gun up out from under my bed
I put a sock on my head and into the night I flew, away I flew
The next thing you know I had blood on my hands
But I had money in my pockets too
You never know what you ll do until you do what you do when your broke
Chorus 2:
Now if I had money like i did in my day
I d buy a car and drive us far away
I guess you know i have this debt to pay
To society, honey wait for me
With good behavior I ll be out in seven years
Don t worry over me or shed any tears
I learned a lot in here and I know what a chance I blew, chance I blew
The next time I wonât make the same mistake
I ll shoot the camera out too
I m learning all kinds of things you can do when your broke
