got a $50 light bill
I can randomly yell shit wit 0 judgement
The house is always quiet when I get home
Clothes stay in the dryer long as I want
Leftovers are always untouched
I can fuck wit the door open
Ain’t gotta share food when I get home
Them aint our snacks Them Smoke snacks
I can let one rip and keep it moving
I sleep/nap uninterrupted
I sleep in late as I want
Can play the game and cuss loud as I want
Everything is where I left it
I don’t have to answer any questions
I don’t have wear headphones for music
Toothpaste, soap, & shit paper last longer
Aint gotta do shit I don’t feel like doing
Ain’t no trails of hair all over the place
Thermostat is set to what EYE want
I don’t have to explain anything to anyone
And the only person I need to be considerate of is me
You gotta be a delusional optimist to see a version of yourself no one else around you can currently see long before you manifest that reality, the most successful people have this trait
