[Verse]
This ain’t got a chorus
So if you want one get the fuck outta here
I’m about to rant about a cycle
That we sucked into, all of us, year after year
I went and I got me a job outta fear
Said rapping could never supply nothing near
To lifestyle that I’m tryna have for the family
At least now I ain’t worried ‘bout a Grammy
Shit, I gotta 9 to 5
Do what we gotta, we gotta survive
We working to live, ain’t living to thrive
I can’t let that be the story of my life
But it’s looking like it is
Ain’t talking shit, It’s me I gotta diss
I thought I could handle the music and school
And work and found out I couldn’t real quick
Pain
That’s the sole feeling, it stay in my brain
Worked for a company, ran up they change
Got snubbed a promotion 3 times and I stayed
That’s a personal issue
Wish you saw all the shit that we went through
Been too focused on getting promoted
I really could not even say I was in school
Shit, and that stick with you
This ain’t a phase it’s a chapter I lived through
Sift through my photos, that shit is a no go
Be damned if we give *beep* any free promo
Delivery pictures is flooding my phone
A few of a woman I’m getting to know
It seemed like I’d be with ‘em both to the end
With both of ‘em now I’m the distant of friends
Yeah, and that line got me smiling
‘Cause looking back, damn that boy was wilding
I was tryna climb the ladder of retail
Once said if we doing that then we failed, yeah
I’m typing out the details, I’m tired of writing emails
I’m training new guys knowing damn well, I derailed
I’m tired of close-opens
I’m a dreamer, need to sleep well and be well
And that shit ain’t happening, I’m capping
I’m telling myself that I’m okay
But I quit my passion of rapping
For months at a time, ain’t sit right in my brain
So shoutout to Daniel and David and Justin
Especially Lizzie they proved I ain’t sane
They showed me that I gotta quit but I can’t
Do this shit now, look at how much I make
That manager bonus is holding us down and locking us in
To think I was getting the best of ‘em
Got me exposed as a clown, DC you win
I really was nothing, but thought I was something
And now I’m back thinking I’m everything
And shout out to Colton, man fuck ‘em we toasting
Them vultures be yapping, I let ‘em sing
[Outro]
Damn, I made it out this hole, yeah
Hole, yeah
Gotta get back in my zone, yeah
Zone, yeah
I won’t ever lose my soul again
Not again bitch
9 to 5s, I’m so over them
Fuck that shit
