The Legend Of Rip Venice Lyrics - Singles - Kelley James

[chorus] 

He's been smoking all day 

Video games 

Checking the waves 

Cuz he wanted to 

Wakes up late when he likes 

Tequila and sprite 

Girls stay the night 

Cuz they wanted to 

Some days I wish I could live like him 

Some days I wish I never got out of bed 

Cuz I wanted to 

His mode 

His call 

Everybody wants to get it all 

Making life decisions off 

Projections from their ma and pa 

Not him 

That's rip 

Maybe you should make that trip 

Venice California is just waiting 

For you to take a sip 

He's everything you want to be 

But don't admit to friends 

He's everything you think about 

When you've come to the end 

With all the 

Bullshit that they always 

Try to send, do you ever think about 

Getting out, we don't get to do this life again 

All the shirts he wears were free 

Half of those don't have sleeves 

Half the reason he believes 

In his path so peacefully 

For a quarter century 

He was told he must achieve 

A certain place financially 

So the people across the street 

Could look at his family 

At cocktail parties while they eat 

And sip Grand Cru Chablis 

And say oooh they raised a chief 

But the Indian left the tribe 

Found his own horse to ride 

To California's western side 

With a heart filled with pride 

And a soul, as his guide 

His arms, open wide 

Good morning everybody 

The prince of Venice has arrived
