Take Back My 24 (Remix)

rap, Moody melodic trap-R&B, male vocals, atmospheric synth pads and distant vocal chops over a spacious, swinging 808 pattern, Verses half-rapped with autotuned slides and ad-libs, hook explodes with stacked harmonies and wide stereo delays, Subtle arps and filtered bells in the background, big reverb on the ad-libs, final chorus adds extra octave vocal and open hats for a lifted, triumphant feel, pop rap, hip hop

[Intro]
Clock on the wall keep starin'
Same old song I'm hearin'
Boss on my back, I'm fearin'
My own time disappearin' (yeah)

[Verse 1]
Swipe in, swipe out
Dreams on the shelf, lights out
Got a mind full of big plans
But I'm stuck in this tight route
Screen glow on my tired face
Paycheck just to stay in place
Every Monday feel the same weight
Heart say leave, but I hesitate (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Emails in my veins now
Coffee just to fake proud
Smile in the breakroom
But I'm screamin' in the gray clouds
Mama say "baby, that's work"
But my spirit say "this hurts"
Got a vision on the nightstand
Why I only touch it when it burns? (why?)
Traffic on the same street
Prayin' I don't miss me
Every red light feel long
Like it's tryna set me free (skrrt)
If I don't jump, who will?
If I don't trust, who will?
If I don't live how I talk
I'll be buried in these bills

[Bridge]
Quit that shift in my mind (mind)
Turn my fear into drive (drive)
If I jump, I might fly
If I stay, I just die inside (inside)
I need sunrise on my terms
I need blame when I crash and burn
I need days that are really mine
Not a name on a plastic sign (nah)

[Chorus]
I wanna take back my 24
I can't trade my life for a little more
Done runnin' in this rat race, runnin' in this maze
I need every second that I gave away
I wanna take back my 24
Clock been eatin' from my inner core
I'm done givin' all my light for a little pay
I want all my hours back today (all my hours back, yeah)
I wanna take back my 24
I wanna live my life and nothing more
I'm done lettin' all my days fade into gray
I want all my hours back today (today, today)
