Home Improvement

[Verse 1]
They let me drop out, but not exactly
They said that I should do what made me happy
We came up with a compromise to do online
Little did I know that it would happen worldwide
COVID hit the states so I came home early
Man, I left Missouri so God damn surely
When I got back
I started at my same old job
I’m overworked, underpaid
It’s the same old prob
So I applied to Menards
And over this time wasn’t writing no bars, shit
The last song I wrote was god damn “Stars”
Where did all of my ambition go
All my hard work and dedication
Straight into a 9 to 5
But judging me off the last
I never thought it would bе I
But I told myself this job is only temporary
Worked my ass off and I noticеd
I was getting carried away
So now I’m working harder than I ever have, but
It was not for myself
It was all for a bag
It was all for the fam
It was all for my dad
It was all for a girl
It was all for some cash
Put my all into everything for nothing back
I ponder why I did it
Every day it's something that
Escaped my mind for a long ass time
And then DC reminded me
I did it all for rap

[Verse 2]
And when I say my all, I really mean that
I looked out for a damn store and it ain’t look for me back
In 8 months I got 2 promotions
Sadly neither of ‘em was really what I was hoping for
And not just hoping, I deserved that shit
12-hour holidays I earned my SPIFS
I’m working 50 hours on part-time pay
But you saying you don’t really see how hard I trained
For some management position
It’s excellence I’m pissing
I’m arrogant, I get it
But that don’t mean I’m wrong though
I’m just really happy that I put this in a song though
I been going off, fuck waiting till I’m on, hoe

[Verse 3]
Forgot to mention that my parents splitting
This story could not be fiction
This is why I have been hidden
From the world and I don’t go outside
And the one time that I did
I got shut down and my bitch ass crying
Because I came on too strong
Well pardon me
Honestly can’t take it back
‘Cause that shit is a part of me being me, being free
Ain’t that what you ‘posed to be
Ain’t that what you mostly be
Ain’t that what made you notice me

[Bridge]
Home Improvement
We’ll get through this
Home Improvement
We’ll get

[Verse 4]
It’s been a perfect storm
I left my dorm and COVID swarmed
I’m sitting bored, I quit the rap
‘Cause shit I was worn out
My life’s a open book and this is chapter 2 torn out
Once again I spill my guts and ain’t no one gon’ fuck with it
Last couple times I did, that’s what made me fumble it
It seems like I be way too real for y’all
And if that bothers you, then you should turn this off
