[Verse 1: SQUiRE]
This 9 to 5 don't pay to live
9 to 5, pay to survive
I'm tryna to do way more than survive
The average job ain't made for the average man to survive
You either rich or lost if you ain't feelin' this vibe
sh** I'm tired
Of slinging this
And slinging that
Man I'm tired
Of folding this, and
Folding that
And doing sh**, for a bullsh** company holding me back
When lord knows, I'm supposed to be, singing these raps
I ain't trying to miss my calling
But the damn rents due, and they need all of it
Plus I gotta pay this car, no
And if I don't
How you suppose I'm getting to my next dollar
I guess I'll hollar
Yep I gotta
Get to it
Flip, move it
Just do it
All I can do is invest in me
Till I get through it. Clock don't stop, I gotta move it
I got a dream, and I can't lose it
[Hook x2]
Don't wanna sell another shirt
Don't wanna sell another shoe
Don't wanna sell another coffee
Or sell another tea
Don't wanna sell another G or another O.Z
Cause believe me it's all the same thing
And I don't wanna trap no more
No, ayy
I don't wanna trap no more
No more
[Verse 2: SQUiRE]
Uhn
I just wanna live my motherf**ing dream
Rocking mics in crowds
Spreading positive vibes with my team
Bringing the world together to dance to one beat
Bringing our souls together with one poetic speech
Like all we really need
Is knowledge and unity
But everybody caught up on this motherf**ing money
The ones who have it are trapped, by their fear of losing it
The ones without it are willing to sell their souls just to get to it
I guess I'm in the middle, tryna stay afloat
n***a the brainwaves tryna rock my boat
Till I make it and sh**
Or I make it a ship
And I take the main wave to where I'm tryna get
Feel like I'm out in the sea
And it's just making me sick
All the sh** that I see
That's why I can't slip
If you ain't living your dream
Well then you trapped in the fake sh**
Working to pay a bill?
Ya you trapped in the matrix, and it hurts me to say this
