The Could Life

Like we always do at this time
(Ok, bro)
Like we always do sometimes
Yeah, uh, ain’t it funky?
Talkin' it to ya'
Hey,
The could life, the could life
The could life, the could life
The could life, the could life
The could life, the could life
The could life, the could life
The could life, the could life
The could life, the could life
The could life, the could life
We work lik a slave ‘til the pay packet is gon
Went from plantations to a factory job
Trying to save up enough for a better day
End up sending the money back home anyway
Trying to take care of two families
One here, one there, living off canned beef
All we want is the kids to have a better life
And new surroundings, and a Tarago
To move them about in
That’s not asking for much
‘Cause you’ll meet us out the front to look after you’re club
We’re trying to live dreams through rosary beads
Whether union or league we’ll make up most of the team
See only a few avenues to earn a livin'
Spend our thoughts and prayers on sports and religion
But no money fell from the sky and we never understood why
‘Cause all we want is that could life
I just wanna move all of y’all
They’re telling me I got potential
From the island to the iPhone
I need to re-up on this
So I can get to that
(The could life) Yeah (the could life) Yeah
(The could life) Some of that (the could life)
(The could life) I want that (the could life)
(The could life) Gimme that (the could life)
(The could life) Come on (the could life)
(The could life) Yeah, yeah (the could life)
You work like a slave ‘til the pay packet is gone
Getting worked to the bone ‘til the passion is lost
Relentless left with less faith
‘Cause the very next day you’ll be shoved right back in the box (Yeah)
Some like the boss, some hate that motherfucker
Fellow employees try baiting one another
Some are self-employed, avoid the rat race
Trapped, avoid the middle man to pay tax
They’re hard to miss, they were the black marketers
Didn’t need uni to be street pharmacists
Even my boys flipped that money
From dirty to clean, now they live quite comfy (Yeah, yeah)
They things that we all want a taste of
What we don’t have so we’re here trying to chase that
Place in the sun, that race has begun
So goodbye, I’m off to live that good life
I just wanna move all of y’all
They’re telling me I got potential
From the island to the iPhone
I need to re-up on this
So I can get to that
(The could life) Oh yeah (the could life)
(The could life) Some of that (the could life)
(The could life) I need that (the could life)
(The could life) I want that (the could life)
(The could life) Gimme that (the could life)
(The could life) Oh (the could life)
That could, could life
Sensible J and Dutch
I just wanna move all of y’all
They’re telling me I got potential
From the island to the iPhone
I need to re-up on this
So I can get that
Oh, oh
Some of that, I need that
Yeah, some of that
Oh, oh
(The could life, the could life)
(The could life, the could life)
(The could life, the could life)
(The could life, the could life)
(The could life) Yeah (the could life) yeah
(The could life) The could life (the could life)
(The could life, the could life)
(The could life, the could life)
Uno, dos
Ah, ok
I am Aki, I be the future
