(Verse 1) Scanner in my hand, time to start this game, Numbers on the screen, tryna carve my name. Gotta stay focused, keep my work real tight, But my mind’s playing tricks, got me losin’ the fight. Waterspider be flirtin', now they settin' up shop, Slowed the whole line, man, the pace gonna drop. Boxes stackin’ up, rollin’ down the conveyor, Tryna stay locked in, but my brain’s the betrayer. (Pre-Chorus) Man, I’m tryna hit rate, but my mind’s on delay, Every scan feelin’ heavy, like I’m stuck in the way. They say, "Pick up the pace," they don’t understand, Some days I move fast, some days I just can’t. (Chorus) I'm chasing rate, running but I’m stuck in place, Clock ticking loud, hear it laugh in my face. Some days I win, some days I fold, Tryna keep up, but I’m losin’ control. (Verse 2) Gotta deal with these BIGs, man, I’m throwin’ ‘em down, Frustration in my chest, I just stack 'eml around. Scanner beepin’ red, man, I’m stressin’ again, PA talkin’ ‘bout "numbers," I just fake me a grin. Coworker vanished, on break too long, Now I’m scanning and boxing, still proving ‘em wrong. Man, I wish I could focus, wish I could just flow, But my brain's on a loop like this endless row. (Pre-Chorus) Man, I’m tryna hit rate, but my mind’s on delay, Every scan feelin’ heavy, like I’m stuck in the way. They say, "Pick up the pace," they don’t understand, Some days I move fast, some days I just can’t. (Chorus) I'm chasing rate, running but I’m stuck in place, Clock ticking loud, hear it laugh in my face. Some days I win, some days I fold, Tryna keep up, but I’m losin’ control. (Bridge) Yeah, some days I’m on, got my numbers real high, Other days I just coast, barely getting by. I can slack for six minutes, gotta keep it tight, One second too long, and they call me outright. (Outro) So I breathe, I move, try to push through the doubt, One scan at a time till I figure it out. Might not always make it, might fall behind, But I show up, I try, and I keep clockin’ time.
