Just Barely

shakin out the cobwebs

just to find somethin to say

rollin like a celeb

in my beat-up chevrolet

always thought that I would make it

stretchin' that dollar to the max

out play, out smart and out wit

keeps me fillin' in the gaps

scrapin' the bottom has a way

of creating determination

but the way the game is played

doesn't provide appreciation

being weighed, measured and wanting

leaves me cravin' satisfaction

it's hard to claim that i'm a king

when i'm a walking contradiction

so, i’ll get back to mixing phrases

a little word play couldn’t hurt

maneuver my way through the mazes

keeping my head above the dirt
