[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning
Anotha day, another dollar
Ain't got money, I got problems
How to solve em? I don't know
Up and at em', here I go
Watch my feet the floor
I don't know
Thank whoever, whatever for the day
Brush my teeth, wash my face, losing weight
In the mirror looking slimmer
Dropping pounds is easy
When you ain't been eating dinner
But these bills gotta get paid
I'm the one that must deliver
What I hate, people that don't pull they weight
Man it ain't a black thing, cause some people always late
Talk and talk, wanna debate
Going missing and hour or thirty minutes
Man these folks be trippin'
Making my occupation complicated
You the know the motto, forget you, pay me
Waiting on that payday
Monday sucks
Tuesday's slow
Wednesday I'm leaving early
I spent it wishing on for a Thursday
Hoping Friday was coming early
Living for the weekend
Get my freak in then it's the end
Time to do it all again
8 AM, six hours of sleep
Forty plus a week
But I do it all, cause I gotta eat

[Verse 2]
You can call me Mr. 9-5 I been working
But my pockets hurtin'
Even though I put the work in
Seconds, minutes, and the hours
Feeling dirty, need a shower
Could relax a couple hours
They said this world is ours
Well it ain't without some power
We be on our grind
Wasting all our stinking time
Wasting all out stinking life's
Hoping for something better
One man's trash is another man's treasure
But your treasure could be trash
Yeah we like to have
But don't you be attached to this cash
How long will it last?
Blowing in the wind
Spend, spend
All this paper need a weight
Need a safe, need a bank
Ah hah moment, hope I made ya think
Depositing my pesos on payday
Still thrifting with my eses stacking Benjamins
Regardless of the naysay

[Verse 3]
In my mind, everything seems so perfect
Everything is always working
Ain't no purpose, ain't no working
Ain't no funds, it's just fun
I'm on the run, a long vacation
I ain't coming back, imma see the map
Go and see, everything that I can see
Man I'm tryna be stress free
Chillin, kicking like Jet Li
Just then reality sets in
Life is hard
Through the "Ring of Fire"
Will we wall apart?
Change starts with a new heart
Thank the Heavens for another day
Lord please help me find my way
Lord please help me see the light
Life ain't always how you like
That's alright
Suicide, nah that ain't the way
Better find ways to relieve my stress
Where I feel loved is where I'm at my best
Twenty-four hours into the next
Man I'm just tryna be the best that I can be
Spread my wings, let me free
Ain't that how it's supposed to be?
Guess they got bigger plans for me
We'll see
I wanna be somebody
I wanna make a difference
This world is ugly, my mind is pretty
That's why I'm always drifting
Everybody can't and everybody won't see my vision
While I'm living, pursuing happiness
I NEVER asked for this!
