The Old Prince Still Lives At Home

[Intro] (The old prince still lived at home.) [Verse 1] 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 scrill Only cash for gas when I borrow my folks' wheels (But you can't drive) whatever, our van died (Get a good bike) who I look like, that Lance guy? I ain't pushing no banana seat Looking like some 8-year-old kid on your grandma's street You can go ahead and call me 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 'em, 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'll sacrifice And have a life minus a couple of luxuries Just cutting my budget schemes and getting some stuff for free Like, why's a brother need a dentist? It's expensive And my gums'll bleed, they do everytime when he scrubs 'em clean And every year they try to bump the fee Plus he'll probably recommend braces (there you go) that's another G! Well thanks a lot, doc, but listen, I can brush my teeth All on my own, so you ain't gonna hustle me So that takes care of the dental plan, now here's a potential scam Getting my toes crushed by a rental van Then if I sued the driver and the rental guy's 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, 'cept I'm grown and it's not dorms So it's a bit more pathetic, ok, a lot more But what y'all gotta mock for? What's wrong with my Mach 3? Y'all gotta be macho and mock more? Well not me, and I do not need to change blades Its all my own hair I shave, chin back face legs And the rashes rarely last more than 8 days Usually, so it's cool with me, I can save great (But hygiene!) That ain't no reason to buy things Like soap or visine 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 out this case full of pesos I lug (Bro, get 'em exchanged) Nope, I'm waiting till the rate's low Don't hate yo, just cuause y'all wasteful Y'all wanna make your bruh the scapegoat, it's bugged It's all nuance, use your head Why get a bed and 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 [Interlude] (Shad, what happened?) I, uh, I couldn't afford the whole beat (Wow.) So, uh, I know (You couldn't afford...) Yeah, no, the guy was just charging so much it was totally not worth it. So I was just like, lets like, um, kinda just vibe with it (What?) Like I'll just like spit the verse and then you just start clapping the last verse (Clap my hands?) Yeah, just clap your hands from there, whatever. I'll just, I'll start it, I'll start it, it's like... [Verse 2] If you happy when you save 2 dollars a week You steal your neighbors empty bottles and keep all your receipts And only treat your girl yearly to McDonalds to eat Don't be ashamed, pop your collars man, holler at me (holla!) If y'all are this cheap, cause this is for acknowledging peeps That gotta track every dime using columns and sheets If you strip search the mall for the bargain to beat Like every day you've just a penny saved from starving on the street Keep carving a niche, I'm started in a jar for the wee Little Shaddies still to come for their college degree Yo I figure starting early on the market is key I plan on having smart daughters all Harvard M.D And regardless, we gon' never put a car on the streets 'Less them gas prices lower and the parking is free And no parka for me, not even gloves, scarves or a fleece I may freeze but I'll keep saving marvellously, holla!
