Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alarm hits six
Same coffee
Same fix
Clock in
Clock out
Wonder what this adds up to now
Paycheck hits
And it’s gone in a blink
Rent
Gas
Late fees
What’s left of me?
[Chorus]
Pay yourself first
Before the world gets paid
Skim off the top
Build your own escape
You’re not just working
To keep the meter turned
Pay yourself first
Watch your future earn (yeah)
[Verse 2]
New shoes calling
That weekend trip
Scroll
Tap
Gone
It’s the same old script
But I want more
Than a cart and a screen
I want time
I want choice
I want breathing in-between
[Chorus]
Pay yourself first
Before the world gets paid
Skim off the top
Build your own escape
You’re not just working
To keep the meter turned
Pay yourself first
Watch your future earn (hey)
[Bridge]
Ten percent now
Beats a hundred someday
Tiny little habit
Carving out a highway
Past due voices
Screaming in my head
I’ll feed my freedom
Before the rest get fed (yeah)
[Chorus]
Pay yourself first
Before the world gets paid
Skim off the top
Build your own escape
You’re not just working
To keep the meter turned
Pay yourself first
Pay yourself first
Watch your future earn

Style
rock, Crunchy modern rock with tight drums, driving bass, and overdriven rhythm guitars. Male vocals with a gritty, melodic edge; verses sit in a tense pocket, drums locked to a pulsing bass figure. Chorus explodes with wide power chords and stacked gang vocals on the hook. Short middle-8 drops to half-time with filtered guitars, then slams back in for a final, shout-along chorus.
