about

This song is about a man who lost his job and spend his days watching soap operas.

lyrics

"Soap Opera"

(Verse 1)
Yea, I'm at the house sitting on the couch
Tuning in to the television so I can tune out
Everything that's went south that I can't figure out
Numbing my brain so pain I'll forget about
Why am I not up and about
I'll let you know a day ago my boss said
"I gotta let you go..."
Wasn't my fault the company had loan defaults
They fucked up now I gotta walk
Damn...
And to top it off I got bills on bills
Man, for real them things pilin' high like hills
Man, this cant be life there's so many ills
I wish a doctor would appear
And prescribe it some pills
Yea, though he probably wouldn't
'Cause knowing me I'd O.D. on those things
If they were in my holding
So I'mma spend tonight
Watchin' Guiding Light
To take my mind off my plight
And make me feel right

(Chorus) 2x
I deal with more drama
On top of more drama
Man, I swear my life is like a soap opera
It gets no realer
Than when you deal with the
Highs and lows that life bestows, man!

(Verse 2)
And let's not even talk about woman problems
I could write a whole song about woman problems
She adds more drama to all of my problems
Bitch you so smart why don't you try to solve 'em
She start talkin "I don't know who you speakin' to
But the only bitch here is with no job or school!
Since you were fired, boo, all you do is do nothin!"
"It's only been a day!"
"I don't care do you somethin!
You in the crib watchin' All of my Children
Eatin' all my food and I don't mean to be rude
But to keep me, dude, here's what you gotta do
Gotta bring home bacon, take me on vacations,
Gotta... Oh! You gonna turn up the soap station
Tryna drown me out? Motherfucker, I'm out!
You can stay alone here in this janky ass house
I been fuckin' your cousin anyway. Peace out."
Bitch

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
I know this song make it seems like I suck at life
If there were loser of the year awards
I'd win it, right?
That's what you're thinking like
But behind each cloud is a silver light
So you this story gotta end kinda bright
Did you know I like to write?
I think you've might
I've written raps ever since Gary Coleman height
Well, come to find out, right
This record exec heard of me on Nahright
And he want me in New York
He booked the flight
Now, that's fuckin' tight
Soon as I got that call I was hella hyped
Stayed that way 'til I flew the next night
And on the plane I met this chick she was super right
Her name was christine; 19
She's super nice
We talked 'til we landed, man, she was just my type
As you're expecting it I got her math 'fore I met the executive
I met him then he said that he wanted to sign me
Who said soap operas end sad... Try me. Top

(Chorus)
