Hoboken Lyrics

Minimum wage can't pay rent

Somebody make it make sense

Gimme a full life, don't distract

Runnin' same circles 'round a cul-de-sac

Graduate 18 get a four year degree

In the summers intern for your Daddy

Business, finance, or real estate

No free will buddy boy that's your fate

Don't you dare stray outside the square

Less you wanna stay outside the square

After school get a girl and move to Hoboken

Have to follow rules that're all unspoken

Such a rigid life will leave a hoe broken

Got a plan to break free but can't get it in motion

Life's all fun until you gotta chose it

Desire comes easy until you lose it

Same sad roads to the same sad music

"Your songs change the world" ok then prove it

Maybe then I'll never break from this machine

Maybe I'm crazy for following my dreams

But I gotta lot of genius, and I ain't even show em yet

Y'all ain't never meeting me cuz I ain't even know him yet

My ideas in the garden, but I ain't even grow them yet

The best is yet to come but I ain't even bestow them yet

Not goin to your uptown school

Not playing by the uptown rules

Ain't nobody find uptown cool

Spent 18 years an uptown fool singing

Minimum wage can't pay rent

Somebody make it make sense

Gimme a full life, don't distract

Runnin' same circles round the cul-de-sac

Minimum wage can't pay rent

Somebody make it make sense

Gimme a full life, don't distract

Runnin' same circles round the cul-de-sac

Sorry mom I never went to Boston College

Lost it all and got lost in college

Turns out there's a hidden cost of college

Fixed my problems by getting crossed in college

But what the hell you do with a BFA

Broadway, no way, still owing 60k

But I pray for the day I can be in a play

Okay, It's underway I'm sorry for the delay

I try to try to try my best

Try to lead with all my chest

Try to fly away from that old nest

Try to turn my back on all the rest

But every nights spent with Netflix excessive episodes

Recapping my friends weekly depressive episodes

All my southern friends call us northerners pretentious

As if I'd ever listen to a bitch that lives in Texas

Only thing I need no is some kind of clarity

Only thing I miss is familiarity

Looking back on the past like it was perfect

Back then none that shit was worth it

Hate my side job but I still work it

Gotta keep the friends that were here before the first hit

Keep on forgetting the time spent crying

Not quite there yet but I'm trying

"How's college going?" dumb bitch stop prying

Craftin' my answer so I'm still not lying

Minimum wage can't pay rent

Somebody make it make sense

Gimme a full life, don't distract

Runnin' same circles round the cul-de-sac

Minimum wage can't pay rent

Somebody make it make sense

Gimme a full life, don't distract

Runnin' same circles round the cul-de-sac

Daddy's got two addresses

But no one wanna address it
