Mama always told me, "Be a man"

That I should get my shit together for real while I can

Like yeah, whateverI said "Mama, you don′t understand"

Cause I'm gon′ be stupid famous and rocking in a band

Yeah, you know

Couple years later, here I am

I'm living the big city life, just doing what I can

To get by waiting tables, yeah, I'm working for the man

And you know

Lately, it′s starting to feel awful like

I′m always on the back foot

Yeah, I'm always on the back foot, yeah

I′m always on the, woo (Yeah)

It's like I′m always on the back foot, yeah

Everybody says that I'm a slob (slob)

That I′m a waste of space and super lazy, oh my god

Like yeah, whatever

I'll be right here, sleeping on the job

Getting paid six-heighty to wait on tables of rich ladies and their dogs

I wish that I had more than I got

I wish I was on Conan and was rollin' at the top

I wish I was a billionaire and balling like The Rock

But you know

Lately, it′s starting to feel awful like

I′m always on the back foot

Yeah, I'm always on the back foot, yeah

Now that you know me, yeah

Yeah, you know

People always hating what I got

They talking shit about me ′cause I'm wicked and they not

Like yeah, whatever

All you jealous bitches know you want

A piece of my sickness, my precious business, my vision

Commitment, sheer perseverance

My feeling, my rhythm, my talent and what?

Uh-huh, uh-huh

I'm gonna go ahead and tell you what

I′m gonna do exactly whatever the I want

I′m gonna keep on doing it 'til I get to the top

Cause, you know

I guess I′m getting used to feeling like

I'm always on the back foot

Yeah, I′m always on the back foot, yeah

I'm always on the, woo

It′s like I'm always on the back foot, yeah

Oh, I'm always on the back foot
