Can't complain I made a living with my brain I made something new For all of you From some old refrain Take what's already been done Find some new way to get the song sung Can't complain, I made a living with my brain Please understand I made my living with my hands Through the work and the toil Through the blood and the soil There's no master plan Build it up to tear it back down Just a ruin to one day be found Please understand, I made my living with my hands Tryna do more With all that I'm given Tryna do more Than just make a livin' Forget your rules I'ma use my own tools Forget your union man And your pension plan And your private schools Forget just tryna survive I'm only doing that which makes me feel alive Can't complain I made a living with my brain

Laugh about the shape I'm in Laugh about the shape I'm in Don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Fool me with the sleight of hand Fool me with the sleight of hand It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good It done did me no good To see it all coming I turn it over but the engine ain't runnin' And if you think I got it all figured out It's just another way to hide my doubt Doubt done did me no good Hit me with the stone cold facts Hit me with the stone cold facts It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Hate it but I don't know why Hate it but I don't know why It don't do me no good It don't do me no good It done did me no good Done did me no good To see it all coming Late start but I hit the ground runnin' And if you think I'm out here just frontin' Well then you know you got another thing comin' If you think I got it all figured out It's just another way to hide my doubt Doubt done did me, doubt done did me Doubt done did me no good
