[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
