I Can't Live Like This Forever

I can't live like this forever
I don't want nine-fives
I want better
It feels that I wasted my time
Working at a job that I don't like
I can't live like this forever

So, I guess I'm 'bout to blow
The opposite of doing what I'm told
This nine to five living
Left me stranded in the cold
It's slow but time's ticking
I got way bigger goals
Every day I wake up
And know exactly how it goes
It's the same shit, can't quit
Somebody's gotta pay rent
Bills stacked up, I take ten
Smoke break to take in
Today's tribulations I'm faced with
Another day in the basement
Daydreaming in my nightmares
Scheming up a plot twist
'Bout to be a mosh pit, calculated movements
There's probably no way to stop this
Running to the rhythm
I'm feeling inside of my skin
It's time to take what I've been given
No limits finding my worth
Moving pieces cross the board to make it work
Underpaid and over skilled
I'm wielding swords, a diamond hidden in the dirt
Certain this is how it's meant to go
This is what I know

I can't live like this forever
I don't want nine-fives
I want better
It feels that I wasted my time
Working at a job that I don't like
I can't live like this forever

It don't matter how it seems
I'll be working 'til I'm living in my dreams
You can see me spitting fire
Through your iPhone screens
That's some HD flames
And I'ma say these things
Until my heart stops beating
Or I break these chains
No comparing how I'm feeling
When I'm tearing up a beat
I'm like a villain
Illest killer in the building
Helen Keller saw the picture
When she listened to my mixture
Started talking like a mile a minute
Damn, I think I fixed her
I ain't giving up, I double down
Chips are stacking higher
They don't come around
They can't stand the heat of my desires
Keep my feet above the wire
Plant a seed and see it blooming
Doom is looming while I'm zooming
Past the people wishing they could see me losing
That won't happen
'Cause the truth is I've been snapping
Try to wrap your head around it
You'll be cracking and flabbergasted
A wascally wabbit habitat
Where I defeat the masters in the cabbage patch
A savage act, there ain't no way they're coming back

I can't live like this forever
I don't want nine-fives
I want better
It feels that I wasted my time
Working at a job that I don't like
I can't live like this forever

Though I'm feeling low
Know the ceiling's still close
Can't let it go
Spent my whole life in the studio
Work my fingers to the bone
Still feeling low
I could never let it go
Nope
Another steppingstone
Broke
Another day to make a change
I ain't letting go
Still feeling like some change
In a pot of gold
Turn the tables to a plane
I'ma pilot home
