Verse 1
Wake up, grind, same old story
Boss on my back, no fame, no glory
Clock in, clock out, doin’ double time
Half of his work, still barely gettin' mine
Emails floodin', phone won’t stop
Break? What’s that? Man, I’m stuck in a plot
My name on the check, but my soul in a box
Still I keep movin', got no time for the shocks
Pre-Chorus
They pile it up, I break it down
Swear I’m the king, but I wear no crown
Wanna walk out? Man, I might just leave
But I just gotta breathe, muthafucka, breathe
Chorus
Breathe in, breathe out (whoo!)
Still standin’ when they count me out (yeah!)
No quit, no doubt
Gotta get that check, that’s what it’s about
Verse 2
Boss man talkin’ like I ain't got ears
"Pick up the slack" like I ain't been here
Doin’ his job, but I ain't see the raise
Still I stay cool, gotta ride this wave
Lunch break? Nah, that’s a fairytale
Emails stackin’ like I’m stuck in jail
But bills don’t care how I feel today
So I keep pushin’, gotta find my way
Pre-Chorus
They pile it up, I break it down
Swear I’m the king, but I wear no crown
Wanna walk out? Man, I might just leave
But I just gotta breathe, muthafucka, breathe
Chorus
Breathe in, breathe out (whoo!)
Still standin’ when they count me out (yeah!)
No quit, no doubt
Gotta get that check, that’s what it’s about
Bridge
One day soon, I’ma boss up too
Hand ‘em my two weeks, say EFF you!”
Till then, I grind, yeah, I play my role
But they don’t own my mind, they don’t own my soul
Outro
Breathe deep, don’t let it break ya
Keep movin’, they never made ya
Yeah, I wanna quit, but the check say "Stay"
So I breathe, then I slay another day
