CLOCKED IN

[Intro / Loop] Wake up... work... come home... repeat... Wake up... work... come home... repeat... [Verse 1] Alarm screaming at 6:10 Same train, same tired faces Boss talking ‘bout “big dreams” While we barely making payments Mama called asking if I’m good I said “yeah” cause what else can I say? Truth is I been feeling twenty years old And ninety at the same damn time lately Everybody online look rich Everybody flexing vacations Meanwhile I’m calculating gas money At the station [Pre-Chorus] And maybe this is adulthood Smiling while your soul gets drained Acting like everything’s normal When everybody’s going insane [Chorus / Hook] Cause we all clock in Clock out Fake smiles when the lights out One check away from breaking down But still showing up somehow And nobody got it figured out We just hide it different Some get drunk Some get high Some just keep pretending [Refrain / Ostinato] Wake up... work... come home... repeat... Wake up... work... come home... repeat... Whole life running on low battery Still can’t fall asleep [Verse 2] Little brother wanna be famous Cause he thinks money fixes pain I ain’t got the heart to tell him Even rich people lose they mind the same My friend got fired last Friday Now he drinking every afternoon Talking ‘bout “I’m probably useless” Cause the world treats people like tools And everybody says “keep hustling” Till your chest starts hurting at night Till you staring at your own reflection Like “when the fuck did I lose my life?” [Beat Switch / Faster Flow] Bills due Rent due Pressure make your friends change too Everybody tryna survive Nobody really living Phones glow Eyes low Whole generation burned slow Scrolling through somebody else’s highlights While our own days missing [Final Chorus] Cause we all clock in Clock out Carry pain we don’t talk about Somebody laughing in your face Could still be breaking down And maybe all we really want Is one damn breath of peace Something real Something ours Before we disappear in routines [Outro / Loop] Wake up... work... come home... repeat... Wake up... work... come home... repeat...
