I just paid my car insurance and started looking at my payments calendar ..which lead to me humming "Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child. So I decided to write my own version of their song. Enjoy:
Real Life Bills:
At first it seemed real cool
Being on my own is something that's never been
But now it's getting uncomfortable
Not seeing people around no more
I'm slowly having to pay for everything
I'm working for my money to start handing
it to other things, like paying my for my car
Drive it all week only to keep filling up the tank
Now I have another bill to the city
Lucky me I get a check this week
You trifilin', not good for much type of cubicle job
Silly me, why haven't I followed my passion?
Times went from fun to rough
I wish my mama could help me out
Instead I'm learning what it's like to be an adult
I didn't know what growing up was all about
Can I pay my own bills?
Would you like to pay my bills?
Find me a rewarding job
so I don't mind working to pay my bills?
If you helped me I could build a career
If you can't, don't worry we won't be through
You wanna start paying bills?
Being on your own to pay more than the telephone bills?
Just enjoy college and youth while you can
Destiny's Child Version:
At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more
You're slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car (car)
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week
[Kelly:]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about
[Chrous:]
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
The end!
Even though it is a tough adjustment, I cannot help but be grateful. Seeing all of your bills is overwhelming but it teaches you responsibility and gives you appreciation for everything you have. I have all of my needs met to the fullest and have friends nearby or just a phone call away (since I pay my bills!).
Have a fantastic day!
Much love,
Alyssa
