Breadline
Navigating Life's Gambles: Join the Journey on the Breadline
Lyrics
I took to rambling
I engaged in aimless wandering or traveling.
'Cos I didn't have no place to go
I did not have a specific destination or home.
I took to gambling
I resorted to taking risks by gambling.
'Cos I couldn't make no money with what I already know
I couldn't earn money with my existing skills or knowledge.
I took to cheating
I started to deceive or cheat others.
'Cos the odds would always laugh in my face
I faced unfavorable odds and circumstances.
I took a beating
I experienced physical or emotional harm.
I was all over the place
I felt disoriented or lost.
If you've got something to prove
If you have something to prove, I am not addressing you.
I'm not really talking to you
If you have ample time and nothing else, then join me in my struggle.
If you've got nothing but time
I chose the incorrect path or direction.
Join me on the breadline
I missed or ignored a warning sign.
I took the wrong road
I carried a heavy burden due to my poor decisions.
I guess I didn't see the sign
I repeated a futile cycle while wasting time.
I took a hard load
I took a more complicated or difficult route, achieving nothing.
Round and round in circles while I wasted my time
I received confirmation of what I already knew was wrong.
I took the long way
I remained unsuccessful despite my efforts.
And I've still got nothing to show
I continued in the incorrect direction.
'Cos it's the wrong way
A sarcastic response to being told something obvious.
Well tell me something I don't already know
I am not interested in proving myself to you if you have something to prove.
If you've got something to prove
If you have excessive time and nothing else, then join me in my struggle.
I'm really not talking to you
-If you've got nothing but time
-Join me on the breadline
Repeated invitation to join in the difficult situation.
Join me on the breadline
-Join me on the breadline
-Come on baby tell me when it's feeding time
An expression implying hunger or a need for sustenance.
I took to rambling (Oh yeah)
A repetition of engaging in aimless wandering.
'Cos I didn't have no place to go
A repetition of not having a specific destination or home.
I took to gambling (Another roll of the dice)
A repetition of taking risks by gambling.
'Cos I couldn't make no money with what I already know
A repetition of not being able to earn money with existing knowledge.
I took to cheating (Any way I could)
A repetition of resorting to deception or cheating.
'Cos the odds would always laugh in my face
A repetition of facing unfavorable odds and circumstances.
I took a beating (They got me beat right down yeah)
A repetition of experiencing physical or emotional harm.
I was all over the place
A repetition of feeling disoriented or lost.
If you've got something to prove
If you have something to prove, I don't care about you.
I couldn't give a fuck about you
If you have excessive time and nothing else, then join me in my struggle.
If you've got nothing but time
-Join me on the breadline
Repeated invitation to join in the difficult situation.
Join me on the breadline
-Join me on the breadline
-Come on baby tell me when it's feeding time
A request for information regarding when sustenance will be available.
