[00:12.02] You should go and quit your job
[00:15.60] And make all of those dreams come true
[00:17.99] How is your self esteem? Huh?
[00:21.06] That's important in what you're about to do
[00:22.96] Don't talk to your friends
[00:25.14] Their opinion holds so much weight
[00:27.11] And it doesn't make sense
[00:28.57] Even your family
[00:30.21] Parents just don't understand
[00:31.92] Except for Will Smith, he's got a great understanding
[00:34.54] Make the time
[00:36.94] Drop school, and people, and work, to play
[00:39.81] Music all night
[00:42.05] You'll make an dollar an hour, at least you'll like your life
[00:44.98] And roll with the punches
[00:46.63] Even when it feels like you're getting fucking jumped
[00:48.96] But you're a real bad judge of it
[00:50.65] Hold on tight, boy
[00:52.39] Might be a fucking hell of a ride
[00:54.22] But, but, but they said it's a 3% chance
[00:59.56] That I'm gonna make it
[01:01.07] That's a little bit less than what it is in my mind
[01:03.65] But it's okay, I think I can take it
[01:05.76] They said it's a 3%, my friends
[01:09.70] That's what they said
[01:11.67] And then I sat there and thought about it
[01:13.73] And almost believed it for a sec
[01:16.30] But I think that they'll love me
[01:19.67] Yeah, if my soul is tainted and ugly
[01:22.45] Tainted enough where no one
[01:24.72] Should ever want stuff from me, but I'm lucky
[01:27.20] Lovely people say such nice things for no reason
[01:31.15] Except for the songs that I sing them
[01:33.01] When I was eighteen I fucking prayed to God
[01:35.87] That one day I'll sing and the crowd would stop
[01:38.41] But I'm still waiting
[01:40.96] For the jaws to be dropped and the bras to be sailing
[01:43.98] I'm still waiting
[01:46.29] For the big contract and a payment
[01:48.47] I'm still waiting
[01:49.50] For all of my own friends to eat all of their own words
[01:53.73] I bet it'll taste like blood sweat and tears
[01:56.21] And the fear of regret and that ever elusive
[01:59.51] 3% chance
[02:03.38] That I'm gonna make it
[02:04.60] It's a little bit less than what it is in my mind
[02:07.55] But it's okay, I think I can take it
[02:09.46] They said it's a 3%, my friends
[02:13.55] That's what they said
[02:15.25] And then I sat there and thought about it
[02:17.69] And almost believed it for a sec
[02:20.32] But now, it's me versus the world
[02:23.52] In a competition to see who could be less shitty
[02:26.43] Hold your own and if it floats your boat
[02:28.58] Then you should row that boat home
[02:31.63] But if my boat starts to sink
[02:34.20] I'll probably just stop singing and writing poems
[02:38.02] Cut my fucking hair and
[02:39.34] Quit eating like I'm homeless
[02:41.58] Get a job
[02:42.67] But I said, I made two hundred dollars in my first week
[02:45.15] Just playing music and being who I want to be
[02:47.49] She said "You think that's acceptable?"
[02:49.23] "You think that's an acceptable amount?"
[02:50.97] "I made twice the amount working at a shitty fucking job that I hate
[02:53.86] And every morning when I wake up I get really sad
[02:56.15] And I was just about to say at my friends birthday party
[02:57.93] Before they cut me off, I was just about to say
[02:59.45] Wait, wait, wait, wait
[03:01.94] You think that's an acceptable amount?
[03:05.20] It's a 3% chance
[03:09.66] You'll be happy
[03:11.67] Doing the same thing you do everyday
[03:13.81] For the next ten years
[03:17.28] I think that's a 3% chance
[03:22.05] That when I say "Today's the day!"
[03:27.71] You'll understand
[03:28.33]
