Lyrics
It wasn't a piece of cake
Facing challenges was not easy
No nothing's ever easy
Nothing in life is straightforward
It was more like chipping teeth on soup
Experiencing difficulties, akin to a tough task like chipping teeth on soup
There were so many things
A multitude of issues or problems
Going sideways all at once
Simultaneous challenges coming from different directions
I fell from the middle class to the lowest group
Fell from a middle-class status to the lowest socioeconomic group
I don't need a lot to just get by
Content with the basics to make a living
I don't need good, I don't need bad, I just need fine
Not seeking extremes, aiming for a balanced and stable situation
I just want to have enough
Desire for an adequate amount to meet basic needs
I barely scrape by when times are tough
Struggling to manage finances during challenging times
I'm not asking for too much
Expressing a modest wish, not an extravagant one
I just want to have enough
Reiteration of the desire to have just enough
Things could be much worse
Acknowledging that circumstances could be more difficult
Yea but they could be much better
Recognizing the potential for improvement in life
You shouldn't feel guilty thinking in that way
Encouraging a positive mindset without guilt about wanting better
None of this was our fault
Asserting innocence, indicating external factors at play
Everything was out of our control
Highlighting lack of control over the situation
But time will trick you into sharing the blame
Warning about the deceptive nature of time, which may lead to self-blame
I don't need a lot to go my way
Desiring things to go smoothly without excessive expectations
I don't need good, I don't need bad, I need okay
Seeking a moderate and acceptable outcome
I just want to have enough
Expressing the fundamental wish to have enough
I barely scrape by when times are tough
Struggling financially during tough times
I'm not asking for too much
Reiterating a reasonable and humble request
I just want to have enough
Emphasizing the primary desire for sufficiency
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Expressive interjection, possibly indicating intensity or emotion
I just want to have enough
Reiteration of the central theme, wanting to have enough
I barely scrape by when times are tough
Continued struggle to make ends meet during challenges
I'm not asking for too much
Emphasizing the modesty of the request
I just want to have enough
Reaffirming the core desire for sufficiency
I just want to have enough
Restating the simple wish to have enough
I barely scrape by when times are tough
Continued financial struggle during tough times
I'm not asking for too much
Reiterating the humble request, not asking for too much
I just want to have enough
Emphasizing the primary desire for sufficiency
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Repetitive expressive interjection, possibly indicating a strong emotion or conviction
