I climbed a mountain yesterday
I dug my heels in and went the hard way
My fingers got numb
And I barely could breathe
But that view was all worth it
Man it’s so ******* sick to be me

I got a promotion yesterday
Been working non stop
Night and day
Gonna be hard for a while
It’ll be worth it you’ll see
Man it’s so ******* sick to be me

I smiled yesterday
Took a break from crying
Got a little relief
A homeless guy had a cardboard sign
“sometimes it’s hard to be”
I smiled and thought to myself
Man I remember when it was sick to be me

I got out of bed yesterday
Don’t think I can today
That mountain might as well be on Venus
That promotion on Mars
I’m jealous of the homeless man
He’s really got it figured out
I’ll just lay here worthless
And think, “Man it makes me sick to be me”
