[Intro] Naw, I ain't lazy just drowning slow In a system built to never let me grow My worth ain't tied to a Nine to Five But that’s the lie we need to survive [Verse 1] “Just livin’ life like a bus I just missed” Runnin’ but watchin’ it fade in the distance not enough hours in a day, not enough time in a week I could work them all and the future's still bleak Tryin' to save for the future, livin' broke in the present Side gigs, side hustles stretchin’ every second [Pre-Chorus] If time is money, then I’ve been robbed Sold a dream, paid in jobs Clock's still ticking but what’s it for? Just wake, Work, Sleep, Repeat Once more. [Chorus] Eight to sleep, Eight to serve, Eight for dreams I can't afford Seven days a week Five for them, two for me Still can’t breathe, still not free Twenty-four seven, my soul on lease Clocked-in, locked-out can’t find peace Wake, Work, Sleep, Repeat. Is this it?" Well Shit. [Bridge] On TikTok, truth sets the tone Strugglin’ hard but we ain't alone Salary flatlined, inflation's outta hand CEOs eat good richer than they ever been Boss says smile, but my soul's on fire Motivation's dead, but the bills conspire DMs full of “make it work” advice But they ain’t livin’ off ramen and rice Burnout Flashin' like a neon sign But I still clock in like everything’s fine [Verse 2] A storm is coming, but we're told everything's fine "Just keep your head down and stay in line" Built on a system of “sucks to be you” While they cash out saying “I got mine” The roof is leaking, the floor gives way But they sell sunshine every day If the ship goes down, they float away While we’re still rowing for minimum pay [Pre-Chorus] If time is money, then where’s my pay? Sold my soul for bills to stay Clock keeps ticking I’m losing track Wake, Work, Sleep, Repeat, then back. [Chorus] Eight to sleep Eight to grind Eight to chase what I’ll never find Seven days gone Five ain’t mine, two feel wrong Still can’t breathe, still holdin’ on Twenty-four seven, just tryna exist Clocked-in, locked-out, life dismissed “Wake. Work. Sleep. Repeat. Is this All? Well, SHIT!”
