[INTRO]
(HEY!)
(WHOA!)
Work today?
Nahhhhhh
Why my alarm sound like a threat?
Brrr-brrr-brrr-brrr!
⸻
[CHORUS]
Why do I gotta work today?
Bills outside and they don’t play
Boss keep textin’ “Where you at?”
I’m in the bed like “No wayyy”
Why do I gotta work today?
Coffee ain’t even hit my brain
Clock-in screen got me stressed
I just got paid yesterday!
(BED SQUEAK JERSEY CLUB DROP)
Work-work-work-work today
Work-work-work-work okay
Move too fast, mind too slow
Hit snooze three times in a row
⸻
[VERSE 1]
Phone go “DING,” I ignore that
Manager call? I can’t afford that
Uniform somewhere on the floor mat
Motivation low, where the store at?
Sun too bright, eyes too weak
Five more minutes turn two weeks
Hair look crazy, hoodie on
Still gotta drag myself along
Bus late, traffic insane
Everybody lookin’ half awake
Coworker smiling way too much
How you got energy this late?
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
And my paycheck vanished quick
Rent came through like a finishing kick
I say “I quit” every Friday night
Then Monday hit like—
(DROP!)
⸻
[CHORUS]
Why do I gotta work today?
Bills outside and they don’t play
Boss keep textin’ “Where you at?”
I’m in the bed like “No wayyy”
Why do I gotta work today?
Coffee ain’t even hit my brain
Clock-in screen got me stressed
I just got paid yesterday!
(JERSEY CLUB BREAKDOWN)
HEY!
HEY!
Left foot slide then caffeinate
Right foot move, still running late
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Microwave breakfast, burnt my hand
Still gotta smile at every man
“Welcome in!” through gritted teeth
Spirit left by quarter-three
Lunch break short, feet hurt bad
Customer mad ‘cause I look sad
Brother… I make twelve an hour
I ain’t got superhero powers
Clock move slow like frozen glue
Every task turn part-time two
Then the boss say “Can you stay?”
…absolutely NOT today
⸻
[BUILD]
I need vacation
A new location
Direct deposit healing my frustration
Need a beach
Need some sleep
Need my blanket emotionally
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS]
Why do I gotta work today?
Life keep charging DLC pay
I just wanna chill one time
But adulthood said “NO WAY”
Why do I gotta work today?
Somebody please explain
Till I get rich off one hit song
I’m clocking in again…
(BRRR-BRRR!)
Again…
(BED SQUEAK LOOP)
Again…
“Employee of the month” my paaainnnn
⸻
[OUTRO]
Alarm going off…
Manager typing…
Bank account crying…
But the beat still bouncing
(JERSEY CLUB KICK LOOP FADES)
