I recorded this on Thursday the 27th of October 2011 in my room in about 45 minutes. I am super hungover.

I'm not a kid anymore no
I've got a job and a cash flow
But it don't mean I'm doing well,
hell anyone could be stacking shelves
Don't swing at me
Cos I'm down and out.

Not got a car or a pension
And I probably ought to mention
Come July I'm twenty two
I've got holes in most of my shoes
But don't pity me
I'm just down and out.

Ooh do what you do just to get by
Don't sit and wonder why
I sing ooh for cash, loans, and wardrobes on store credit
11 years of school and fuck all to show for it

I'm not a lawyer or a banker
But I love my mama and I thank her
For telling me to stop throwing stones
To 'put that back' and leave your brother alone
Though she taught me well
I'm still down and out.

I've got at least 4 friends
And some others that pretend
Even though I'm down and out
I've really got nothing to worry about
Don't feel bad for me
I'm not bowing out.

Ooh do what you do just to get by
Don't sit and wonder why
I sing ooh for life, love and everything that comes with it
Many more years of that, and I plan on living it.

Said I plan on living it
I've got the love if you're giving it.
