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.
