All Work No Pay

Sitting around, I’m bored out my mind
Taking a bite of whatever I can find
Strings of loose credentials getting pulled
The letter’s going down when my notebook’s full

My GPA is through the tomb
Buried with weeks of solitude
Wish that I could jump off the cliff
And fly away like a dove unclipped

All work and no pay
I am not okay
I can’t be that pet
That you’ve imagined in a cage, no
Gets worse every day
I am not alright
I can’t be that prey
That you imagined you could chase and dine, no!

NO!
NO!

The end of all merit
The voices have stated
Trespassing territories
To lean on my glory

Raining daggers on my parade
Still running that renegade
Like fireball in lemonade

Still not enough to reason up
Yo-yoing my time like a ladened 808

All work and no pay
I am not okay
I can’t be that pet
That you’ve imagined in a cage, no
Gets worse every day
I am not alright
I can’t be that prey
That you imagined you could chase and dine, no!

NO!

I’m scared of dying
Before I write my name
With the golden ink of the ones I love
Who propelled me to the hall of fame
And I don’t want my last goodbye
To be a hand-in sheet
I just wanna mark my “X”
On the map of no regrets
No regrets
No regrets

All work and no pay
I am not okay
I can’t be that pet
That you’ve imagined in a cage, no
Gets worse every day
I am not alright
I can’t be that prey
That you imagined you could chase and dine, no!

(all work and no pay) NO!
(all work and no pay) NO!
