[Intro]
In a line, wait my turn,
Dreams fading, watch them burn.
Life’s a struggle, flat on the floor,
Unemployed, can't take it anymore.
[Verse 1]
Got an honor on my wall,
But it don’t pay the rent at all.
Job center blues, it's the same old scene,
Searching for hope, but it feels all mean.
[Pre-Chorus]
Send out resumes like little ships in a storm,
But no reply, I'm cold and forlorn.
Every rejection another bruise in my heart,
What’s the point when you're torn apart?
[Chorus]
Life's a grind, work’s a dream,
All this struggle, nothing's what it seems.
Fighting uphill on this weary road,
Trying to lighten this heavy load.
Dreams delayed, can't break the mold,
Just a number in a world so cold.
[Verse 2]
Every face in that crowded room,
Hopes are fading, we all share the gloom.
Can’t help but feel the weight of the world,
As reality’s flag is unfurled.
[Pre-Chorus]
With every step, I lose a part of me,
Got this degree, but what's the key?
Tired of waiting, tired of lies,
Searching for the spark in my tired eyes.
[Chorus]
Life's a grind, work’s a dream,
All this struggle, nothing's what it seems.
Fighting uphill on this weary road,
Trying to lighten this heavy load.
Dreams delayed, can't break the mold,
Just a number in a world so cold.
[Bridge]
Discrimination's a ghost, haunting me still,
It whispers that ‘you’re not fit for this thrill.’
But deep in my heart, I know I’m alive,
Gonna rise up and teach myself how to thrive.
[Outro]
So here I stand, face to the fight,
With dreams in my pocket, I'm ready tonight.
No more shadows, I’ll take my stand,
Unemployed, but still, I’ll command.
