(Intro)
Yeah…
This for everybody feelin’ stuck right now
Everybody tired…
Everybody carryin’ more than they show
(Verse 1)
Raised on the promise if we worked we’d make it
Go to school, stay straight, someday we’d escape it
Now everybody burnt out, mentally faded
Tryna smile through anxiety while makin’ payments
Jobs don’t hit the same when the rent keeps risin’
Every week another bill got the whole house silent
Parents gettin’ older while the kids feel hopeless
Everybody online but nobody feel close-knit
Told us buy a house, build a life, stay loyal
Now a decent paycheck barely covers the normal
Gas too high, food too high, stress too high
And they act surprised people losin’ their minds
(Hook)
The contract broke, now we live in survival
Truth don’t matter when the numbers go viral
Work all day just to barely stay vital
Everybody lost but we still act tribal
Still I believe there’s a fire inside us
Pain and pressure only sharpen and guide us
World feels cold but the spirit still fights bruh
Built from the struggle, the pressure designed us
(Verse 2)
Student debt was sold like an investment plan
“Get a degree and success gonna land”
Now people got diplomas workin’ jobs they can’t stand
Still livin’ with roommates at thirty and stressed
Can’t even start families the way our parents did
Cause daycare cost more than some people’s rent is
Everybody delayin’ life just to survive
Hard to dream big when you barely get by
Boomers say “work hard” like we lazy or weak
While we clockin’ two jobs and still can’t breathe
Feels like every rung of the ladder got moved
Then they blame the people tryin’ hardest to improve
Still waitin’ on the powerful names to confess
Whole world knows corruption but nobody address it
People get angry but too tired to riot
So we joke through depression and stay quiet
(Hook)
The contract broke, now we live in survival
Truth don’t matter when the numbers go viral
Work all day just to barely stay vital
Everybody lost but we still act tribal
(Verse 3)
Health insurance takin’ money every month
Then denyin’ claims right when sickness come
People scared to get checked cause they fear the cost
One bad diagnosis and your savings lost
Everybody knows somebody drownin’ in stress
Smilin’ at work while emotionally wrecked
Social media fake but the loneliness real
People miss connection more than money or deals
Still I ain’t hopeless, I just know what I’m seein’
People hungry for purpose and somethin’ to believe in
Need somethin’ real in a world too fake
Need hope when it feel like the whole thing break
(Outro)
Hold on…
Everybody fightin’ somethin’
Don’t lose yourself
In a world that profits from it
