Still Smell Like Work

[Verse 1]

The fuckin’ air condition broke, eighty hours deep

Still can’t breathe, can’t sleep, can’t eat

We ain't been out, ain't rode no whips

Just holdin’ on, barely makin' the note, no tricks

No joke, this hope gettin’ harder to fake

Workin’ my ass off, bendin’ but I won’t break

Body always sore, sleep’s a foreign word

Shower, eat, alarm—then back to the curb

[Hook]

Work, rinse, repeat—same shit every week

Paycheck to paycheck, it’s gettin’ hard to speak

But I love my wife, and she love me too

We broke as hell, but we still breakin’ through

[Verse 2]

Man I’m workin’ tired and so forever

If there's a sign out there, I ain’t seen nothin’ better

Somebody tell me, man, what’s the damn news?

Ukraine this, Ukraine that—I got steel toe blues

Y’all got time to tweet, I’m tryin’ to eat

Out here bustin’ ass while they talkin’ ‘bout peace

Wish I could clock out early, maybe rob a bank

But I’m always on the clock—or the damn doors closed, ain’t that dank?

[Outro]

Still I grind, still I stay

Ain’t no handout ever paved my way

If I fall, I crawl—then I rise

With that mud in my blood and them work
