First World Problems / Nobody Carez

Brent Faiyaz Brent Faiyaz

Every day, I come late
Wash my clothes in the same sink
I don't give a damn 'bout what they think
Long as I pay rent
I don't even whine 'bout my paycheck
I know it's short, but I make ends
'Cause it could be a worse situation

All that glitters ain't gold
And all that shines bright ain't a diamond
All that wrinkles isn't old
And as far as you see ain't the horizon

A death in designer
To live on an island (to live on an island)
We keep on trying (why do we keep on trying?)
We'll end up dying (Lord knows we'll end up dying)

Every day, I leave late
I wait out front in the same place
And I don't give a damn 'bout what they say
Long as the day ends
I made some plans with some good friends
I don't even know where the day went
But it could be a worse conversation

All that glitters ain't gold
And all that shines bright ain't a diamond, oh
And all that wrinkles isn't old
And as far as you see ain't the horizon, oh

A death in designer
To live on an island (to live on an island)
We keep on trying (why do we keep on trying?)
We'll end up dying (Lord knows we'll end up dying)

Everybody want a motherfucking Benz or Beamer
And designer sneakers, ain't no motherfucking dreamers
Shit is deeper than Neiman Marcus or your Hollywood starlets
Underneath this nigga starving, impoverished
People don't give no fucks, nigga
Trump don't give a fuck
Your niggas don't give a fuck
Your favorite artists don't give a motherfucking fuck
Do you give a fuck, nigga?

Keep playing, motherfucker

If you told 'em he was down and out
Would they pull up or would they wait it out?
Would they ever call you just to talk about
Whatever they wanna talk about?
If you borrowed money 'cause it's life or death
Would they ask you for their money back?
Would they tell the world all of your business?
And this and that?
Your business
And this and that?

Maybe you're too friendly, or maybe you're too real
You put your time and faith in people that can't seal the deal
Trials and tribulations often force one to reveal
That maybe you just don't know what to feel

Did you know that you were with the devil last night?
Couldn't see where you was going with a flashlight
And I know it hurts
I'm just concerned
I know that you were with the devil last night
Baby, I ain't saying you don't act right
This world don't love
But that don't mean that you can't hope it does

If you told 'em he was down and out (I wanna know)
Would they pull up, or would they wait it out? (I wanna know)
Would they ever call you just to talk about (I wanna know)
Whatever they wanna talk about? (I wanna know)
If you borrowed money 'cause it's life or death (I wanna know)
Would they ask you for their money back? (I wanna know)
Would they tell the world all of your business?
And this and that?
Your business
And this and that?
