I get up and I go to work
Put in 8 for a frickin jerk
Who don't even know my damn whole name
I lay down with a distant wife
Who wishes she lived a different life
I get up again and go do the same
Yeah I wanna know how the other half lives
I don't know about y'all
Yeah I'd give anything just to get to see how it is
In front of the 8 ball
It don't matter just how hard I try
I just can't seem to get ahead in this life
Always a couple days late and a dollar short
My ol' lady brother she's a queen
She's just as tired of this shit as me
Sometimes I wonder why she ain't walk out the door
Yeah I wanna know how the other half lives
I don't know about y'all
Yeah I'd give anything just to get to see how it is
In front of the 8 ball
Some day when I hit the powerball
We gonna say see ya later y'all
Buy us a boat and go slay some bass
Right after I find that old boss of mine
Walk up to him look him dead in the eye
And tell him he can shove it right up his ass
Yeah I'm gonna know how the other half lives
I don't know about y'all
Yeah I'd give anything just to get to see how it is
In front of the 8 ball
Oh in front of the 8 ball
