(Verse 1)
(Awwwww YEAH!)
This is a story about a man named James
Vicious and ambitious who didn't play any games
Built his logs up/no propane and lit his flame
So if he lost-he was the only one to blame
-Now on the other hand/here goes Marty
Always strolling in tardy/huge parties
Jell-O shots of Bacardi
Party's with girls sahris/from Delhi to the safari
Living life to the max/cus only losers lived sorry
-Now Jimmy wanted to be one of the bosses
Spent 80 hours at work/slaving working on new projects
Succeed at all cost/was his creed over his family's needs/neglected
They just had to cut their losses
-Marty only lost sleep in consciousness
And money/cus he lacked financial common sense
Phony friends/attracted to green and confidence
Stale compliments/just for his accomplishments
(Chorus)
So relax/and sip slow (sip slow)
Life is to fast/it'll be gone before you know
So take it piece by piece/one day at a time
Please be kind/because there's no rewinds
(Verse 2)
(Awwwww YEAH!)
This is a story about a man named James
Vicious and ambitious who didn't play any games
And on the other hand here we have Marty/who always parties
Who know two men so different could act the same
-See little Jimmy wanted money to the ceiling/swimming in millions
The big dogs made it so appealing
He had no hope from being broke/thought money'd change his feelings
But it won't buy happiness/ask Robin Williams
Seeing America we believe this hoax cus/we lose focus
We think we're smart/ we're being fooled for jokers
Green back stacks/live happy
That's not my approach/when we die it's just more food for the roaches
-Marty didn't believe in saving/Marty got it started
Marty had some parties that were so amazing
Girls around the world/Puerto Rican and Asian
Lobster steak/next night smashing on Cajun
Sounds fun/but the truth was
The girls his smooshed/smooched/ were all so ruthless
Marty had no roots/no one to hear his two cents
When he needed help-they treated him like a nuisance
(Chorus 2X)
(Verse 3)
Here we have party Marty/and workaholic Jimmy
Marty plays but doesn't work/and Jimmy works plenty
Both neglect the love love from the ones who gave any
Running on steam/will leave you full on empty
I could've been one of them but then life shook me
Mid hand in the jar/stealing all the cookies
I was destined for a stomach ache/but the facts I couldn't see
That too much of one thing/can be a bad thing
Cus all work and no play/or vice versa is a curse and makings for a really stressful day
Too much of anything gets overrated
Just keep it in moderations little homie
And I bet you'll be okay
(Chorus)
