Do you have any idea what you've done?
The things you've lost
When you think you've won?
What now son?
Because apparently inherently
When the going gets tough
The tough get up and run
It's not like that
Are you aware of what you're doing?
Ruining your life and screwing yourself over
You were so close my God
I taught you to pursue your goals
But the you choose this road
For what?
Who knows?
You're stabbing me in the back
My money time and sweat's in the trash
And I've been working my ass off
Every night 'til four in the morning
Just so you could have some food and a bed to snore in
I've been scrubbing floors
Since before you were born
To ensure that your future would never be torn
Every shirt you've ever worn that's me
Every loss you've never mourned was free
All because of financial stability
The ability to facilitate your life
Open your eyes and wake up
From this dream you've fantasized
Do you really wanna end up like me?
It's a hard life can't you see?
When you're barely scraping minimum wage
And seldom make enough to eat
Whoa dad
If for a second you would listen and see
I'm too stressed doing medicine
This isn't for me
I feel imprisoned not free
But music's the solution
Every note releases dopamine
So hopefully you'll roll with me
What?
Using math and some studies of the brain
I can make the world smile
While I'm earning a financial gain
I've created the perfect song now check it
You'll be smiling in just a couple seconds
I am original I am unique
I am nobody else but me
Sit back relax and you'll see
If you open your mind you can follow your dreams
I am original I am unique
I am nobody else but me
Sit back relax and you'll see
If you open your mind you
What would your mom say?
We promised we would never use mom against each other
Hold up I promised
You would never make the same mistakes
As your mother
Well I believe she'd never stop me going down this road
You wouldn't know
She wouldn't let me go alone
How would you know?
Well I know what you've said to me
Every memory of her music and her style
You said she loved jazz
The one thing that would always make her smile
I can never speak for her
So I will never know for sure
Maybe this is what she left
Maybe this is what she left
You want a life full of uphill battles?
'Cause that's what you're getting sold
I for one wanna retire not die working old
Stop talking to me like I'm just an investment man
I wanna live not be your walking retirement plan
It's for you that I do this
For you that I work and I sweat
So your future won't have as much debt
Well I'm sorry your life sucks
But I am tired of dealing with all the shit that you regret
I'm ashamed to have you as a son
You know what?
Remember these words
And remember the look on my face 'cause this hurts
The next time we meet will be your reimbursement
And the whole world will know you didn't support me first
So screw you
I don't need you I'm living my life
No shame dad
I'm gonna see my name in lights
I'll pay the price for happiness that can't be bought
'Til then dad you can sit back and watch
