Rigged

Verse 1

I bust my ass for a paycheck joke

Still broke as fuck with my back half broke

They say “work harder,” like I ain’t tried

I been drowning while they shout from the high-rise

Clock punches me more than I punch back

Life tax-heavy, no refund checks

Every door locked, every ladder gone

Tell me how the fuck I’m supposed to move on

News full of lies, suits full of shit

Rich get richer while we eat the hit

They sell us dreams we can’t afford

Then laugh when we’re crushed by the weight of more

Pre-Chorus

I did what they said, followed the rules

Still stuck here feeling like a goddamn fool

Chorus

I’m pissed at the world and the way it’s run

Every road blocked, every race already won

I grind, I bleed, I still fall behind

Tell me how the fuck that’s “by design”

I’m tired of hearing “just wait your turn”

When the house stays stacked and the rest of us burn

No matter what I do, I’m still in debt

Yeah, I’m mad as hell—and I ain’t done yet

Verse 2

They preach patience from a paid-off life

While we choose between rent and a decent night

I don’t want millions, I want relief

But even peace got a fucking fee

Social feeds full of fake success

Same recycled “you’re not doing enough” stress

I’m over the hustle, the grind, the flex

I just want breathing room, not a heart attack

They say “stay positive,” think good thoughts

Like optimism pays off what inflation costs

I got ambition, I got drive

Just don’t got luck or a head start line

Pre-Chorus

They move the goalposts every year

Then blame our effort when we’re still right here

Chorus

I’m pissed at the world and the way it’s run

Every road blocked, every race already won

I grind, I bleed, I still fall behind

Tell me how the fuck that’s “by design”

I’m tired of hearing “just wait your turn”

When the house stays stacked and the rest of us burn

No matter what I do, I’m still in debt

Yeah, I’m mad as hell—and I ain’t done yet

Bridge (spoken / venomous)

Fuck your motivation quotes

Fuck your “sleep less, want it more” notes

Fuck a system that eats its own

Then calls it weakness when we’re overthrown

I’m not lazy, I’m fucking drained

There’s a difference you refuse to name

This ain’t failure, this is abuse

Dressed up clean in a tailored suit

Final Chorus (bigger, explosive)

I’m pissed at the world and the lies it sells

About merit, freedom, “do well and you’ll excel”

I play the game, it still cheats me blind

While they toast success off stolen time

So yeah, I’m angry—what’d you expect?

When survival feels like disrespect

If this shit’s the future they want us to get

Then fuck the future—I’m not done yet

Outro

Still standing.

Still fucking pissed.

Still trying to live in a world like this.
