Vārdi: Shad. The Old Prince Still Lives at Home.

Yeah,
(one two three four)
Yo, I live at home still
Not paying phone bills,
hydro or rent
And my mom makes most meals

So it?s so ill, I don?t need no skrill only cash for gas when I borrow my folks? wheels
--But you can?t drive
Whatever our van died,
--get a good bike
What do I look like, that Lance guy?

I ain?t pushin? no fantasy
Looking like some eight year old kid on your grandma?s street
You can go ahead and call me lazy
--lazy
I just retired real young y?all
Call me jay-z
Or maybe I just hate these crappy jobs
Call me crazy
But I refuse to work, man it?s miserable
Can?t do it ?less it?s due to circumstance
And I need the cash to feed my astronomical appetite
But for the time being y?all I sacrifice
and have a life modest, a coupla luxuries it?s cutting my budget schemes
and getting some stuff for free
Like why?s a brother need a dentist?
It?s expensive!
And my gums are bleeding due to every time he scrubs ?em clean
And every year they try to bump the fee
Plus he?ll prob?ly recommend braces,
--there you go man,
That?s another G
Well thanks a lot doc, but I can brush my teeth all on my own
So you ain?t gonn? hustle me.

So that takes care of the dental plan,
Now here?s a potential scam:
Gettin? my toes crushed by your rental van
--aahh!
Then advise who the driver and the rental guys
Enterprise or whatever I bet they would settle nice
Court adjourned, now I just gotta pay for the law forms
--that?s easy
Spend two weeks eating popcorn
Like students do except I?m grown and it?s not dorms
So it?s a bit more pathetic, okay, a lot more.

But what y?all gotta mock for? What?s wrong with my mach 3?
I gotta be macho and mach more?
Well not me, and I do not need to change blades some?where I shave chin back face legs
And the rashes rarely last more than eight days, usually
So that?s cool with me ? I can save great
--But hygiene?
But that?s no reason to buy things
Like soap or visenes or getting clothes dry-cleaned
I don?t throw away dough on no facials
Yeah I make rolls of my pennies
I even pay folks in clubs of these case full of Pesos I got
--Bro get ?em exchanged!
No I?m waitin? til the rates lower

Don?t hate yo just cause y?all are wasteful
Y?all wanna make your brother a scapegoat
It?s fucked
It?s all nuance, use your head
Why get a bed and a couch when you can slouch on a futon instead?
If you got a little bread like croutons
Download them new songs
and spread them coupons

{music stops}
{Spoken}
--Shad what happened?
Oh yeah, um, I couldn?t afford the whole beat? so, uh, I know?
--Couldn?t afford?
Yeah, no the guy was just charging so much, it was, it?s totally not worth it
So I was just like, let?s just like um, kinda just vibe with it
--What?
Like I?ll just like spit the verse and you just start clapping the last verse
--Clap my hands?
Yeah just clap your hands from there, or whatever. I?ll just, I?ll start it, I?ll start it
It?s like:

{claps instead of music}
If you?re happy when you save two dollars a week
Steal your neighbours? empty bottles and keep all your receipts
And only treat your girl yearly to McDonald?s to eat
Don?t be ashamed; pop your collars man, holla at me
--Holla!
If y?all is cheap, cause this is for acknowledging peeps
who?s gotta track every dime using columns and sheets
If you strip-search the mall for a bargain to beat
Like every day you?re just a penny safe from starvin? on th? streets
Keep carvin a niche
I?ve started on a job for the week
Little shaddies still to come for their college degree
Yo I figure starting early on the market is key
Cause I plan on having smart daughters all Harvard MD
And regardless we gonn? never put a car on the streets
?Less them gas prices lower and the parkin? is free
And no parka for me, not even gloves, scarves out of fleece
I may freeze but I?ll keep saving marvelously
Holla!

{Spoken}
I told you, we just gotta vibe with it, man. It?s good, I?m stoked. Yeah no it?s a good track. Cut it.
