Clock In, Grind Out

*(Verse 1)*

Alarm rings, I’m up before the sun,

Head full of dreams, but the work’s never done,

Dragging my feet, but I gotta keep pace,

Bills stacking high, gotta show up, no grace.

No love for the hustle, but I’m caught in the loop,

Eyes on the clock, but there’s no escape route,

Tie tight, shoes laced, stepping out the door,

Daily grind got me feeling sore, but there’s more.

*(Hook)*

Gritting my teeth, every minute’s a fight,

But I’m pushing through the struggle, keeping goals in sight,

This 9-to-5 got me feeling stuck in place,

But I’ll keep on moving, ‘til I win this race.

*(Verse 2)*

Cold coffee, paperwork stacked a mile high,

Boss breathing down my neck, deadlines flying by,

Dreams of a better day, but today’s the same,

Every task, every hour, it’s a mental game.

Sweat on my brow, tired eyes on the screen,

Counting down the hours ‘til I’m back on my feet,

But I’m here for the check, gotta pay those dues,

Wishing for a break, but I can’t hit snooze.

*(Bridge)*

Hands tied, but my mind’s on the prize,

Every second in this grind, I’m getting wise,

Learning the ropes, finding my stride,

One step at a time, I’ll take this ride.

*(Hook)*

Gritting my teeth, every minute’s a fight,

But I’m pushing through the struggle, keeping goals in sight,

This 9-to-5 got me feeling stuck in place,

But I’ll keep on moving, ‘til I win this race.

*(Outro)*

Punching out, but the battle ain't done,

Worn down, but I’m far from being out-run,

I’ll wake up tomorrow, ready to fight,

‘Cause deep inside, I know I’ll get it right.
