Prompt / Lyrics
(Melancholic rap beat, slow piano + deep 808s) [Intro] Yeah… Another day, same struggle… I’m tired… but I keep going… [Verse 1] Wake up early, still dark outside Alarm clock rings, no place to hide Body feels heavy, mind already drained But life don’t stop, I’m stuck in the same Quick cup of coffee, no time to think All I see are bills piling up to the brink I work so hard, give all I can But the money slips right through my hands Paycheck comes, already gone Rent and bills just carry it on Every time I think I might save Something new puts me back in the grave They say “hold on, things will change” But I’ve heard that line for years — it’s strange Truth is harder than words they say The more I work, the less I make [Chorus – Female Voice, smooth & emotional] I don’t know how to carry on All this pressure going on and on I give my all, it’s never enough Every single day gets tough Prices rising, I can’t keep up I’m running dry, I’m out of luck If this is life, then tell me how ‘Cause I can’t keep doing this now… [Verse 2] Gas so high, I think twice to drive But without that car, I can’t survive Oil goes up, and everything too But my paycheck stays the same, no room Grocery shopping feels insane Just the basics bring me pain Used to choose, now I just cope Cutting back on things I need the most News on TV says “we’re okay” But I don’t see that day to day Big money rising, profits high While I’m just trying to get by Extra shifts, I trade my time Still feel stuck in the same grind Running fast but going nowhere Feels like life just isn’t fair [Chorus – Female Voice, stronger] I don’t know how to carry on All this pressure going on and on I give my all, it’s never enough Every single day gets tough Prices rising, I can’t keep up I’m running dry, I’m out of luck If this is life, then tell me how ‘Cause I can’t keep doing this now… [Verse 3] Late at night, I can’t unwind Too many numbers on my mind Trying to fix what I can’t control Every bill just takes its toll Cut expenses left and right Still not enough at the end of the night One calm month? I’ve never known Just surviving on my own People ask me if I’m okay I just smile and look away Inside I’m fighting every day But I don’t know what else to say I don’t want riches, I want peace Just a break, just some relief But every step I try to take Feels like something’s gonna break [Bridge – Female Voice, soft & airy] I just wanna breathe… Without worrying… I just wanna live… Not just struggle like this… [Verse 4] World keeps moving, I stay stuck Trying hard but out of luck System built to wear you down Smile lost, replaced by a frown Oil prices run the game Everything rising, nothing the same Every jump just hits me harder Every day just getting darker Still I push, I’m near the edge Balancing life on a broken ledge Stopping won’t erase the pain But going on feels just the same [Chorus – Female Voice FINAL, powerful] I don’t know how to carry on [outro] Yeah… I just want peace!
