[Intro – 4 bars] (Sound of an alarm clock buzzing, a hand smacking it off, lighter flicking) Wake up. Bake up. Get the money. Repeat. It’s not magic, it’s routine. [Verse 1 – 8 bars] I wake up to the static of the city in the attic Feeling cinematic, automatic, never problematic Pour the coffee in the cup, roll the widow, light it up Check the numbers going up, never giving half a fuck About the comments or the hate, or the people being late I got food up on the plate, I control my own fate Put the hoodie on my head, leave the comfort of the bed Turn the light from green to red, hearing what the critics said. [Pre-Hook – 4 bars] Sun comes up, moon goes down Same old king, same old town Grind don’t stop, wheels go round Sovereign feet on solid ground. [Hook – 8 bars] It’s just another day in the life of a machine Living out the movie while you’re staring at the screen Just another day, stacking bricks upon the wall Waiting for the summer while I’m conquering the fall Yeah, just another day, nothing special, nothing new Doing what I gotta do and better than you do Punching in the clock but the clock is made of gold Just another story that is waiting to be told. [Verse 2 – 8 bars] Step into the booth, locking up the door, soundproof Spitting out the truth, I’m the living proof, raise the roof Mix the vocals, fix the beat, make it sound like concrete Make it sound like dirty street, make the masterpiece complete I don’t panic, I don’t stress, I don’t settle for the less I just handle up the mess, playing 4D level chess While you’re playing checkers, I am wrecking all the deckers Checking all the speckers on the neck of double-checkers. [Verse 3 – 8 bars] Lunch break? Nah, I eat the beat for a snack Put the lyric on the rack, give a heart attack, back-to-back Phone is buzzing off the hook, I don’t even take a look I am writing in the book, every cranny, every nook I got business in the east, I got pleasure in the west I put the drama to the test and put the rumour in the vest It’s a habit, it’s a trait, it’s the way I operate Never early, never late, always carrying the weight. [Hook – 8 bars] It’s just another day in the life of a machine Living out the movie while you’re staring at the screen Just another day, stacking bricks upon the wall Waiting for the summer while I’m conquering the fall Yeah, just another day, nothing special, nothing new Doing what I gotta do and better than you do Punching in the clock but the clock is made of gold Just another story that is waiting to be told. [Verse 4 – 8 bars] Sun goes down, lights come on, shadows getting long Pour a drink, sing a song, tell me where I’m going wrong? Nowhere. I’m exactly where I need to be Sitting in the sovereignty, living totally free The routine is the key to the lock of the gate Consistency is how you become one of the great I do it with my eyes closed, standing on one leg I’m the hammer, not the nail, not the peg, not the egg. [Verse 5 – 8 bars] Smoke fills up the room, monitor is glowing blue Thinking 'bout the next move, thinking 'bout the revenue Thinking 'bout the legacy, keeping up the energy Sipping on the Hennessey? Nah, water for the memory Clean mind, sharp soul, hitting every single goal Playing every single role, taking total-ass control So when you see the glory, don’t you ask me for the way I just tell you simply: it was just another day. [Hook – 8 bars] It’s just another day in the life of a machine Living out the movie while you’re staring at the screen Just another day, stacking bricks upon the wall Waiting for the summer while I’m conquering the fall Yeah, just another day, nothing special, nothing new Doing what I gotta do and better than you do Punching in the clock but the clock is made of gold Just another story that is waiting to be told. [Outro – 4 bars] Lights out. Lock the door. See you tomorrow. Same time. Same place. KB.
