Do What I Love

[Tupac Sample]
"You know what I mean listen to the words people say in their lyrics and tell me if that's real to you. You know what I mean, listen to what they're saying. Don't just bob your head to the beat, peep the game."

[Dave Grohl interview Sample]
"With where the industry is headed and the idea of making money off a record really changing, what would you tell four guys in a garage that had a good batch of songs?"
"To go play live, just play live
Go play live, just play live"

[Verse 1]
I'm in the jungle ass naked with two tangerines
I don't answer to Kings, I just dance and sing
Ignoring orders moonwalking across a planet's ring, flippin' through civil disobedience as the hammock swings
I think somewhere along the line, people forgot what they need
Worshipping consumerism kids are taught to believe
The product's price is correlated with its worth
Maybe it was at first but it shifted shapes to a curse
Now it's a two thousand dollar purse that's basically just a bag
Getting paid doesn't mean you made it but they praise it, it's crazy sad
We stay paper-chasin' manipulated through fear
You can take this job and shove it I'll be damned if you take my year
I'd rather be broke and happy than breaking my back and miserable
What's the point of having cash if you're just trapped in a mental prison? Those
Wishes come to fruition when running with them so give them hope
I'll never dismiss them just to get a pension and work on another man's fishing boat
Now everybody asks, what's his problem? What's wrong with him?
My fucking name is Feral it's not spelled the same but it's a homonym
Untamed and wild until the day that I die... You could take the Porsche I'll take the lakes and the sky

[Chorus]
If I don't make a lot of money but still do what I love, then that's the only thing that matters to me
If I'm living free and can go where I please, then that's the only thing that matters to me
If I got someone to love and nutritious food to eat, that's the only thing that matters to me
If I got pens and a beat and somewhere cozy to sleep, then that's the only thing that matters to me

[Verse 2]
Western culture is obsessed with success
Everybody's so impressed with lavishness in excess
If we don't have it we get depressed, tell ourselves we're worth less
Reality TV Hollywood women with plastic chests
Do not interest me, mostly because they'd never give the time of day
But that's okay - these beautiful hippie women got me feeling some type of way
Instead of grinding our life away, cooking dinner inside of a microwave
Let's slow it down; life is too vibrant to never be saving no time to play
I'm rising and fighting the titan Goliath I'm all about rhyming and riding the wave
Surviving and vibing while climbing the lightning I'll never quit writing my mind is at stake
Do you understand that if I had ten hundred grand
I would still be cooking food and making music from this van?
It's just who I am, that's why I quit my job to write
Because why would I waste my time doing something awful that I don't like?
By living simple and minimal I've killed the parasitical and ditched the tricycle to rhythmically scribble and it's blissful

[Chorus]
If I don't make a lot of money but still do what I love, then that's the only thing that matters to me
If I'm living free and can go where I please, then that's the only thing that matters to me
If I got someone to love and nutritious food to eat, that's the only thing that matters to me
If I got pens and a beat and somewhere cozy to sleep, then that's the only thing that matters to me

[George Carlin sample]
"Look at this stupid shit, no I don't want to be in the bunny number. Can I get out of the bunny number please I don't want to put on that fucking uniform"

[Dave Grohl sample]
"And if you back that up with the idea that just playing those great songs in your great live band is enough reward for you, then you're fucking set"
