Work, invest
Sleep, eat
Repeat
Repeat (yeah)
Clock in, clock out, same gray ceiling
Scrolling through charts while my soul hits "ceiling"
Boss got a yacht, I got boxed-in feelings
Time on sale, 10 bucks per hour, who’s dealing?
They said "grind hard, climb that ladder"
But the ladder in flames, and the rungs get shattered
Eighty percent of my life on a name tag
Building up a brand I don’t even wanna hashtag
If time is your greatest asset
Why you spend it on a stranger’s dream? (why?)
Punching in for a paycheck, silence every wild idea you scream
If time is your greatest asset
Why you bleed it for a borrowed plan?
I ain’t dying as a line on somebody’s slide deck
Tell me, what’s yours, man? (what’s yours?)
Work, invest, sleep, eat, repeat
Watching my twenties drip down in the street
They said "play safe, stack slow, be humble"
But I’m one bad layoff from a real hard stumble
So I buy back minutes, cut out noise
Side hustle written in my notes like poise
Portfolio growing but my purpose thin
What’s the net worth if I’m empty within?
Is it a cafe with your name on the glass?
Studio in the attic, turning pain into plaques?
School you build where the kids learn free?
Little plot of land, plant a seed, grow peace?
Every tick is a yes or no
To the life you fear to show
You already pay in blood and sleep
Might as well own the hill you climb so steep (hey)
If time is your greatest asset
Why you spend it on a stranger’s dream? (tell me)
Punching in for a paycheck, silence every wild idea you scream
If time is your greatest asset
Why you bleed it for a borrowed plan?
I ain’t leaving just a title on a doorplate
Tell me, what’s yours, man? (what’s yours?)
Work, invest
Sleep, eat
Repeat, repeat
Til you break that pattern and say
"This one’s mine" (yeah)
