Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gettin paid
Could've tried a little harder
But I was afraid
Every day I wish that I could live that fancy life
Maybe have myself a car
And a sexy wife
Yo
Gotta find a way to help the capital start growin
Could sell some lemonade
Or find some lawns that need some mowin
Maybe reopen the bubble stand
And teach some blowin
Commercial comes on
That gives us both some hope
We can't inside all day
Cause all we do is sit and mope
Pat and I come up with somethin that'll make us stars
(Yeah)
What if we go door to door
And sell some chocolate bars
Fancy livin
(Here we come)
Meet us at the door
Wanna do some shit
That I have never done before
Ridin round in my wheelbarrow
Full of cash
Hope this life of mine is somethin that's gonna last
Damn this shit ain't going
How we thought
No one wants this candy
Even with the bags we bought
Motherfucker's chasin us
And screamin from afar
When he catches up
He wants to buy our chocolate bars (Let's go)
Fancy livin
(Here we come)
Meet us at the door
Wanna do some shit
That I have never done before
Ridin round in my wheelbarrow
Full of cash
Hope this life of mine is somethin that's gonna last
Fancy livin
(Here we come)
Meet us at the door
Wanna do some shit
That I have never done before
Ridin round in my wheelbarrow
Full of cash
Hope this life of mine is somethin that's gonna last
All I see is people out here
Gettin paid
Could have tried a little harder
But I was afraid
Everyday I'm out here livin
That fancy life
Time to get myself a car
And to find a wife
Fancy livin
(Here we come)
Meet us at the door
Wanna do some shit
That I have never done before
Ridin round in my wheelbarrow
Full of cash
Hope this life of mine is somethin that's gonna last

This provides us with some optimism
We can't inside all day
We can't stay indoors all day
Cause all we do is sit and mope
Because all we do is complain and feel sorry for ourselves

With a significant amount of money inside
Hope this life of mine is somethin that's gonna last

Damn this shit ain't going
Darn, this isn't working out
How we thought
Not working out according to plan
No one wants this candy
Nobody seems to be interested in our candy
Even with the bags we bought
Despite the fact that we purchased bags for the candy
Motherfucker's chasin us
Someone is pursuing us aggressively
And screamin from afar
They're yelling at us from a distance
When he catches up
When he finally reaches us
He wants to buy our chocolate bars
He expresses interest in purchasing our chocolate
All I see is people out here
All around me, people are working and making money
Everyday I'm out here livin
Every day I'm working hard to achieve my dream lifestyle
Time to get myself a car
It's time for me to invest in a vehicle
And to find a wife
I'm also looking for a partner to share my life with
Wanna do some shit
I want to try something new and exciting
That I have never done before
Something that I've never experienced previously
Fancy livin
Living a luxurious lifestyle
(Here we come)
Meet us at the door
Come to the door to see what we have in store
Ridin round in my wheelbarrow
Cruising around in my wheelbarrow
Full of cash
With a lot of money
Hope this life of mine is somethin that's gonna last
I'm optimistic that my desired lifestyle will be long-lasting
