I’m counting the days, days
I’m here and I'm waiting, waiting
I see you when I’m sleeping, sleeping
You make it so I can breathe, breathe
Part 1:
I sit in my room, the days go by without you
No matter where I am, everything reminds me of you
I’ve definitely lived without you far too long
You’re the pillar that props me up, the ground that carries me
For some time, I sat all alone at a home ¹
I had to get out because the money wasn’t coming in by itself
I had stress and had to smack some punks, and I wanted to eat, had to steal a pizza
Have you forgotten me, when can I come home?
I think about you when I’m sleeping, when I’m waiting
I take an interest in marketing only because of you
‘Cause if a street kid bites the dust during the day
Everything goes black and white, life makes me colorblind
The day blurs without you when I write the lines,
If I don’t know what to do, you alone give me strength
At some point, I’ll have the world in my hands
‘Cause the man makes the money and the money not the man.

Part 2:
Since we’ve known each other, it’s turned out well
I came up from the bottom, my wounds have stopped bleeding
But all the beauty brings envy too
Everyone wants access to your money and some fuck you, that’s simply business
Everyone against every shit, they run through life without any plans rather than correcting the errors
It’s give or take where you stand, you choose yourself
I’m on the road and bring my money home every night
Just because of you I go out there and know the area well
You’re everything I need, more than what’s essential for survival
You’re the air I breathe, without it, it doesn’t go on
Everyone here tries to screw me out of my money
But I learned to deal with it; I learned to watch every penny
I’ll miss you when I go
The hungry dogs, they bark at me
But the man makes the money and the money not the man

Intermediate part: (She lies in bed with you at night…..looking at you always with one eye open
Money is a whore who never sleeps, and she’s jealous
If you’re not paying attention very well, you’ll wake up some morning and she’ll be gone forever)
