I live in excess Johnny Page

I live in excess Not necessarily out of need, but often out of necessity. Confusing? Shit, it confuses me. I bought my car new, Even though I knew I couldn’t afford it. But I had to. Why? Because I couldn’t afford to buy used. I know it doesn’t make sense, But since my last car broke down and caused me so much trouble, I swore I would spend that extra dime To create that extra time To get Dionne to day care. You see, I make just enough to not qualify for a babysitting check, But barely enough to afford one. I live just far enough away, To be to close to everything I can’t afford. I live in excess Because where I come from Living can be excessive.
