I got no wife and I got no kids,
I got two jobs, yet I can barely live.
I got an endless stack of bills and I'm down to the wire,
I'm already drowning, but the water's climbing higher.
I need something else, I need to get a clue,
I need to make some money, but I don't know what to do.
Until I overhear the news about a man in a mask,
At a Seven Eleven with a gun and a bag,
Made a couple threats and left with everything they had.
Time tick's by, days march on,
The only things I've got are a dream and a song.
I'm all outta food and my livingroom's cold,
I look for shit to sell, but all my shit's already sold.
I got a hot cup of coffee and a lukewarm plan,
My back's against the wall and it's time be a man.
The sun's going down and my heartrate's picking up,
I got a loaded .45 that I ain't afraid to use,
Before you go judging, put yourself in my shoes.
Darkness falls, there's a steady sound rain,
My pulse is pounding like a drum in my brain.
What I wouldn't give to have some ice in my veins,
The weight of steel's like a ball and a chain.
Waiting by the station, with an eye out for my prey,
Spot a pretty girl and she's walking my way.
She's heading toward the path and she seems to be alone,
She doesn't even notice me, her mind's on her phone.
And I said, "Alright baby, why don't you gimme that purse,
The last thing I want to do is put you in a hearse."
I wouldn't bet my life on who was more afraid that night,
But when time's get tough and you gotta take the make a move,
It's survival of the fittest, we've all got something to prove.
This is a robbery!
So, put your hands up for me!
This is a robbery!
This is a robbery!
This is a robbery!
So, give me all your money!
This is a robbery!
