Breaking Point
Here we go I'm clocking in
Officially giving up all my time for Benjamins, the sacrifice
Don't forget to smile, fold them clothes, and then you bag it nice
And don't forget the trash again, I shouldn't have to ask you twice
From 9 to 5 I'm on the grind my dream's on layaway
From 5 to 9 I'm on my hustle trying to find a way
Finding my balance on this rope
Looking for the means for me to try and salvage hope
And every time I try to speak my mind, I don't...
Ha! For good measure
I've got a bit of a temper
I let it fester and boil
Then toil through my endeavors
I'm clever enough to ace the semester
You're a pretender boy
Mr. Manager, Mr. Button Fastener
Mr. Couldn't match the caliber of this challenger
So go ahead and keep shaking your little finger at me
All you're doing is fueling the vocal vigilante
It's been a long day, an even longer week
It's getting harder and harder to turn the other cheek
It's been a long week, an even longer month
I'm at my breaking point, I swear to God enough's enough
It's been a long day, a real long day
And all I want to do is mute the world and fade away
It's been a long day, an even longer night
Even living in the darkness I can harness light
I try and try but it's never enough
I see my friends all counting stacks, I'm just counting my crumbs
The life of a chump is anything but glamorous, I know that
You wanna buy a house and see the world, yes, I know that
You wanna get up outta this debt and trust I get that
But asking me to give up my dream? Nah, forget that
I'd rather struggle through and find success on my own
Push myself to new heights, carve my name in the throne
I invest in myself, set the laser to stun
Bust shots through the mic and watch the room get done
It's Jook One, I introduce flavor to tongue
It's best to come and savor you some
Now here we go again...
Fight after fight, argument after argument
I'm gonna lose my cool if you keep emphasizing consonants
Look!
I'm doing all I can to please ya
All I need is time to get this right so baby, ease up
It's been a long day, an even longer week
It's getting harder and harder to turn the other cheek
It's been a long week, an even longer month
I'm at my breaking point, I swear to God enough's enough
It's been a long day, a real long day
And all I want to do is mute the world and fade away
It's been a long day, an even longer night
Even living in the darkness I can harness light
Officially giving up all my time for Benjamins, the sacrifice
Don't forget to smile, fold them clothes, and then you bag it nice
And don't forget the trash again, I shouldn't have to ask you twice
