No

I've never had a real job before

'Cause I've never been on my own before

All I know is that rent is expensive, extensive and endless

I gotta be relentless to get this job

Hopin' a friend's reference helps my odds

'Cause when I see the checklist of requisites

I got next to no experience

I found ten new venues lined up

Hopin' that I wind up signed up waiting tables

Or maybe make cash bartending, watch my spending

Then maybe I'll be stable

Pretending I'm packed with skills

When back at home I'll be stacked with bills

If I don't pay rent what are they gonna say?

Is today my lucky day?

Guess not, 'cause they're sayin'

"No! No!"

Everywhere that I apply they tell me

"No! No!"

Nobody hires me, no one's helping

Wonder how I'll pay rent, wonder how the days went by so fast

My dad must have worked real hard for us to last

That's one thing that I

Know, know, know

One thing that I

Know, know, know

Tryna be the voice of reason

Tryin' to appease him, he's in pure denial

Tryna understand his views, walk in his shoes

But the truth is I don't last a mile

At night I'm on the phone

Tryna let him know he's not alone

He barely answers even if there's a chance I could help him advance

I'm met with the loudest

"No! No!"

Every time I try to call he tells me

"No! No!"

Everything's a fight and it's not healthy

Wonder how I'll pay rent, wonder how the days went by so fast

I'd give everything so he'd come home at last

I need him to

Know, know, know

I need him to

Know, know, know

(I try) Lookin' for more jobs at night

(I try) Showin' him my softer side

(I try) Holdin' onto home 'cause I know

That the world doesn't care how I feel, how I cope, how

(I try) Giving him the space he needs
