Lyrics
[Intro]
Alarm ringin'
Same ceiling, same fan still
I got a full-time hustle
And a pile of unpaid bills (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Check clear Friday
Gone by two
Student loans, late rent
Whole paycheck chewed
Boss say "Bout time
You buy a little house"
I'm still prayin' this card
Don't cuss me out
Lunch break, cold fries
Count coins, not carbs
Smile for the email
Dead tired in the car
Mama text "Baby,
You eatin' alright?"
I lie back "I'm good"
Stomach talk all night (uh)
[Chorus]
How I work all week
Still broke on a salary? (broke on a salary)
Clock in, clock out
Debt holdin' onto me (onto me)
Got a badge and a desk
But my life on layaway
How I work all week
And still can't make it pay?
[Verse 2]
Forty hours, forty more
On a side gig grind
Still behind on the light
And the Wi-Fi line
Swipe left on joy
Can't afford that drink
Netflix on the couch
Hope they don't cut the link
HR talkin' 'bout "team"
I talk 'bout time
They get bonuses and beams
I get overtime
I got dreams in a folder
On an old drive shelf
But I'm too worn out
Just to open the file myself (damn)
[Chorus]
How I work all week
Still broke on a salary? (still broke)
Clock in, clock out
Debt holdin' onto me (hold on)
Got a badge and a desk
But my life on layaway
How I work all week
And still can't make it pay?
[Bridge]
Tell me how that math add up
Raised the rent, froze the raise
Tell me who that bless really
When the broke still pray every day (every day)
I ain't lazy, I'm exhausted
Still they say "just grind"
I been grindin' since a kid
Ain't no teeth left in my time
[Chorus]
How I work all week
Still broke on a salary? (broke on a salary)
Clock in, clock out
Debt holdin' onto me
Got a badge and a desk
But my life on layaway
How I work all week
And still can't make it pay?
Still can't make it pay (yeah)
Still can't make it pay

Style
rap, Dusty boom bap loop with vinyl crackle, warm bass, and sharp, swung drums. Male vocals, close and gritty. Verses tight and conversational; hook opens with stacked call-and-response chants and crowd-style ad-libs. Subtle piano stabs and horn chops lift the chorus, bridge strips to bass and drums for an intimate confessional before a final, higher-energy hook.
