Laugh It Off

Got mugged on the way to seven-eleven, Had to keep my feet to the fire, The thug's said they'd send me to heaven, 'f i resisted, said I probably won't make it any higher, Yeah, tripped on a. banana peel to work, Ah, how real to even feel, My grimace turn to a smirk, cuz- Gotta laugh it off, sometimes, all the time, don't mind the injustice, don't mind the crime, You're tellin' me I'm copin', that's a bold-faced lie, man- Just gotta, gotta, gotta, laugh it off sometimes... Friend at the morgue, yeah, bus got his head, Didn't need anyone to pronounce he was dead, Yeah, you tellin' me life sucks the soul from you, Don't even think there's anything to suck the soul through, Gonna smile for a second (to forget about the reckoning) Sorry, I, Apologize, Ah, Try not to cry, Gonna mess with my, Way of life, I say, my day to day, Gotta laugh it off, sometimes, all the time, don't mind the injustice, don't mind the crime, You're tellin' me I'm copin', that's a bold-faced lie, man- Just gotta, gotta, gotta, AH, laugh it off sometimes... Don't know if I can pay my rent, Don't know where my wife and children went, Don't know if I have time to repent, and- Don't know if I can ever return the money I lent, (But you know) Just a bitta funny, it's-a, good laugh, Every once in a while, gotta see the sunshine, right? Not always ready to put my fists up for a fight, Better time spent trying to find the light, So keep that grin up, chin up, Laugh it off before your time's up! Gotta laugh it off, sometimes, all the time, don't mind the injustice, don't mind the crime, You're tellin' me I'm copin', that's a bold-faced lie, man- Just gotta, gotta, gotta, AH, laugh it off sometimes... (A-ha!)
