[HOOK] I been missing out on nights I can't get back But I turned that pain to paper, I can live with that Ten toes in the kitchen with my dreams intact I lost sleep, lost friends, but I ain't lose track [VERSE 1] I been working restaurants over ten straight years Same shirt smell like smoke, same sink full of tears Coulda been outside, I was clocked in late Low gas, bad tips, still I made shit shake I ain't have no cheat code, I had overtime Had to miss the fun just to own what's mine Everybody wanted weekends, I wanted a way So I traded every party for another long day And I don't need you clapping, I know what it took Burn marks on my hands, still I wrote that hook I was scraping up change, now I'm changing the plan Had to swallow that pride just to feed that man Tell me what you know bout dreams on a double shift Smile on my face while my whole life stiff I pulled me out the mud, I don't owe y'all shit But I thank God I ain't fold when it got like this [HOOK] I been missing out on nights I can't get back But I turned that pain to paper, I can live with that Ten toes in the kitchen with my dreams intact I lost sleep, lost friends, but I ain't lose track [VERSE 2] I done seen them lights come on while I’m still on Everybody going home, I’m tryna build some Apron full of stains, but my mind on clean wins Counting every dollar like I’m watching where my dream went I ain’t mad they had fun, I just had to pass Had to let the night die just to make shit last Had to miss them phone calls, had to dodge them plans Had to turn into the man that could understand Ain’t no glamour in it, just a floor full of grease Just a tired ass body that refuse to be weak Just a notebook in the car with a verse half done And a prayer in my chest like, “don’t let me run” Now they see the motion, they don’t see the toll They don’t see the old me fighting for control I ain’t do it for applause, I did it cuz I’m built And I carried all that pressure till it looked like skill [BRIDGE] I missed nights I wanted I missed calls I needed I missed sleep for money I missed peace for reasons But I’m still here breathing I’m still here bleeding I’m still here reaching I’m still here, believe it [HOOK] I been missing out on nights I can't get back But I turned that pain to paper, I can live with that Ten toes in the kitchen with my dreams intact I lost sleep, lost friends, but I ain't lose track
