[Intro]
Hey now, let me tell you something funny,
Bout a guy who thought life owed him a penny,
Dancing in the streets, but he ain't got no beat,
Tellin’ me his story, but it smells like defeat.
[Verse 1]
He woke up at noon, said sleep’s his kind of job,
Rolling on the couch, yeah, that’s his mob,
From sun up till three, dreaming of the day,
When he’d find a sweet gig, but nah, he’s lost his way.
[Pre-Chorus]
Sittin' on the corner, lookin' all roguish,
With a grin so wide, he thinks he’s the brightest,
But brother, listen close, let’s make this clear,
Just because you’re broke don’t mean you’re sincere.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Robber, can’t you see?
Life don’t owe you no VIP spree,
Hollering at the night, chasing what’s not there,
When you crash and you burn, you’ll find your despair.
[Verse 2]
He tried to woo me, with tales of the street,
But let me tell you honey, that just ain't sweet,
I said, “Buddy, listen, gotta lay it on the line,
No money, no job, no way you’re mine.”
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, he laughed and he joked, like it didn’t sting,
While I rolled my eyes at all the trouble he'd bring,
Homeless and hungry, watch him try to play,
Sorry Mr. Robber, but I don’t roll that way.
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Robber, can’t you see?
Life don’t owe you no VIP spree,
Hollering at the night, chasing what’s not there,
When you crash and you burn, you’ll find your despair.
[Bridge]
So I handed him five, said, “Wish you the best,”
Just enough to get you a sandwich or rest,
But don’t think for a moment, I’m here for your ride,
You’re not my ticket out, buddy, so take it in stride.
[Outro]
Yeah, I laughed it off, when he walked away,
Singing that old tune, like he’s on his way,
But I learned that night, in the glow of the moon,
Life’s a funny game, and you gotta play it soon!
