9 PM

[Intro – Spoken]
Nine fuckin’ o’clock again.
The world’s crashing into dreams, and I’m climbing outta mine.
Coffee’s bitter, mirror’s cruel,
And this building still smells like hell wearing perfume.
But bills don’t spare the tired—so here we go again.
For them… always for them.

[Verse 1 – Melodic Rap]
Alarm hits, and I’m sick of this shit,
Same hallway, same pain I can’t quit.
Got a boss talkin’ sweet while she cuts like a knife,
Plays victim every time she wrecks a life.
She fucks with the weak, but she won’t touch me,
She knows damn well who not to tease.
Hate’s like fire in my chest, I choke it down,
For my babies’ health, I’ll wear this crown of frowns.

[Hook – Sung / Melodic]
I don’t work for that bitch, I work for love.
Every fuckin’ shift keeps the lights above.
Clock in, clock out, same pain again,
Hate in my veins, but I swallow it for them.

[Verse 2 – Melodic Rap]
Parking‑lot lights flicker like death,
I breathe in smoke, exhale regret.
Inside it’s cowards, rats in a chain,
Selling out souls just to dodge the blame.
They kiss her ass like it pays their rent,
Fuck that circus, my back’s hell‑bent.
Let ’em whisper, let ’em play pretend—
I’m stayin’ for my kids till the bitter end.

[Bridge – Half‑Spoken / Melodic]
She can hit, she can lie, she can fake that grace,
But she won’t ever fuck with me face‑to‑face.
My silence ain’t fear—it’s a deal with the grind,
I’m buyin’ their safety one piece at a time.
So yeah, I eat the pain and I fake that grin,
For doctor bills and medicine.

[Final Hook – Layered / Emotive]
I don’t work for that bitch, I work for love,
Trade my sanity so they rise above.
Hate burns deep, but I breathe again—
Every fuckin’ night proves I’d die for them.

[Outro – Spoken / Soft Fade]
Nine p.m. again. Same lies, same ghosts.
But I still show up,
because my bills don’t get paid if I don’t.
