Chasing the Paper

Looking for a way to make it shine

Dreams are high, but the means aren't aligned

Wake up in the morning, thoughts in my head

Chasing after comfort, living for the bread

Every step I take, trying to find some gold

In a world so cold, got to break the mold

Hands out, hopes high, got a long road to go

Heartbeat pounding, searching for that glow

No silver, no gold, just a story untold

But I keep on moving, never fold

Money, money, I need it so bad

To turn my dreams from the good to the rad

Working every hour, barely getting by

Underneath the city lights, I try

Money, money, make my world turn

For the future I yearn, for the fire that burns

Hold on tight, gotta find my way

Chasing paper day by day

Side hustle grind, nights and days

Facing struggle in countless ways

Every penny counts, every dime's a fight

In the shadows, searching for the light

Hands out, hopes high, got a long road to go

Heartbeat pounding, searching for that glow

No silver, no gold, just a story untold

But I keep on moving, never fold

Money, money, I need it so bad

To turn my dreams from the good to the rad

Working every hour, barely getting by

Underneath the city lights, I try

Money, money, make my world turn

For the future I yearn, for the fire that burns

Hold on tight, gotta find my way

Chasing paper day by day

One day the tide will turn, I believe in the rest

Fight for what I want, give my very best

Dreams of wealth may seem far away

But I’ll keep pushing every day

Need that money to set me free

Unlock the doors to what I want to be

Until then I’ll keep the faith, stay strong

Find my rhythm, sing my song
