lyrics
Get to work 10 of 9
Work your shift from 9 to 5
Button up your whitest shirt
Make sure you put on a tie
Make sure you put on a smile
Black glasses over the eyes
Speak so professionally
Being cynical fits the disguise
Integrity is of the past
The new trend is to compromise
If they’re not buying the truth
Make sure you sell them your lies
Avoid friendships at all costs
Base your life on small talk
Take from them everything
But don’t give up who you are
Stay current with the media
Let youtube infest your mind
Immerse yourself in pop culture
Truth is always televised
Money buys you everything
Family and friends won’t
The only people who disagree
Are the people who are dead broke
Christians always throwing their religion down my throat
Why go to church when I have sermons on my iphone
Never ever chase your dreams
But chase the world’s standards
Never go all in
Play the cards that life hands ya
Family on the other side
Asking me to get it right
Get a job; get a wife
Make some kids; live your life
People all around me telling me that “I am blessed”
Feeling like I have this life and I haven’t even lived it yet
Memories of past lovers
Scars that I have only felt
Paralyzing me from
Loving anybody else
God why’d you disappear
I heard that you never fail
Is our prayers
Like messages left on your voicemail
Accumulating with no answer
