Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft, half-time] Yeah… Phone light glow in the dark, 5AM Thought I made it… guess not yet [Verse 1 – rhythmic rap] Looked at my phone, said I was getting money Digits so big man it felt kinda funny Heart beat fast like “this it, we up” Then I blink twice — screen glitch — nah, just luck Alarm clock screaming, back to reality Cold floor, same job, same salary Same bus ride, same gray sky view Same break room coffee that don’t wake you Dream said rich, life said grind Dream said peace, life said time Clock in, badge scan, back stiff, head low But inside my chest got a fire I protect though Yeah I’m tired but I’m stubborn Got hope in my pocket, won’t sell it for nothin’ World say “wait”, bills say “now” But I swear one day they gon’ hear my sound [Pre-Chorus – melodic rap] Work all day just to eat, just to breathe Praying something better waiting on me Hands dirty but my vision clean I’m closer than it seem, yeah [Chorus – pop hook, singable] I woke up from a dream check Thought the money hit, not yet Still clocking in for the paycheck But I ain’t quitting, no regrets Every step, every late night Building something they can’t see One day that dream gon’ feel right One day it’s reality Maybe… just maybe [Verse 2 – faster, tighter flow] Back sore, steel toes, lunch break scrolling Seeing everybody else’s highlight rolling Comparison trap, mind start folding But I know my story still loading Stacking small wins like coins in a jar Little steps still taking me far They laugh now, cool, let ’em talk Same ones asking favors when I pop Mama said “faith don’t fold under pressure” Pain just shaping you sharper, better So I grind through storms, through the weather Dreams don’t die, they just test your effort Overtime hours, underpaid checks Still bet on me like Vegas bets If life a game then I’m next I ain’t done yet, nah, I ain’t done yet [Pre-Chorus – bigger] Work all day just to eat, just to breathe Praying something better waiting on me Hands dirty but my vision clean I’m closer than it seem [Chorus – full energy] I woke up from a dream check Thought the money hit, not yet Still clocking in for the paycheck But I ain’t quitting, no regrets Every step, every late night Building something they can’t see One day that dream gon’ feel right One day it’s reality Maybe… just maybe [Bridge – stripped down, emotional rap] If it ain’t today, it’s tomorrow If I fall down, I don’t borrow sorrow I just stand tall, reload hope Tighten my laces and learn to cope Dreams don’t fade, they wait on time So I clock out… but I still grind [Final Chorus – anthemic] I woke up from a dream check Now I’m chasing it, no rest Yeah I’m working for the paycheck But my future bigger than this desk Every step, every late night Building something they can’t see One day that dream gon’ feel right One day it’s reality Yeah… just maybe That maybe’s me
