Clock Out, Zone In

Badge beep

Red light

Same desk

Same fight (yeah)

Emails barking

Coffee cold

Dreams on draft

Heart on hold

Boss say, “Family”

Eyes say, “Lie”

Weekend dangle

Just to buy your time

Same gray carpet

Same fake cheer

You trade your fire

For a folding chair

I got rent

I got rage

I got a mind

That don’t fit this cage (nah)

I ain’t made for a 9 to 5

I’ma clock out, zone in, come alive

Got a side plan growing on the side

Turn that little spark to a landslide

I ain’t made for a 9 to 5

I’ve been plotting every late-night drive

Put my whole damn soul on the line

‘Til my own name sit on the sign (on the sign)

Lunch break

Hidden in the back

Typing on my phone

Blueprints, tracks

Watching that hand

Creep ‘round the face

Praying for a glitch

For a power outage

They sell fear

Dressed up as “safe”

But my worst fear’s

Staying in this place

So I save checks

Stack skills, not chains

Every overtime hour

Fueling my escape (yeah yeah)

I ain’t made for a 9 to 5

I’ma clock out, zone in, come alive

Got a side plan growing on the side

Turn that little spark to a landslide

I ain’t made for a 9 to 5

I’ve been plotting every late-night drive

Put my whole damn soul on the line

‘Til my own name sit on the sign

Hands up if you tired of the script (hands up)

Staring at the ceiling like, “This it?” (this it?)

Heart talk wild, better listen

Whole new life in the distance (yeah)

I ain’t made for a 9 to 5

I’ma clock out, zone in, come alive

Got a side plan growing on the side

Turn that little spark to a landslide

I ain’t made for a 9 to 5

I’ve been plotting every late-night drive

Put my whole damn soul on the line

‘Til my own name sit on the sign (on the sign)
