Tuck the shirt
Gotta clock in till the bills paid off
You been working nine to five
Taking no days off
Went to work
Put the time in and got laid off
How bad you want it
This is what the dream cost
From the time you climb the mountain
They like work gotta come first
Gotta move fast
Gotta get cash
Gotta stay fly
Can't get a pass
From this cycle in nature
Designed to put you in dirt
You seek prayers from your family
That put you outta the church
But they expect you to accept it when they lying on God
But they real quick to forgive you
When you swipe the credit card
It's a fraud what they telling
Saw what they selling
Run-in with the law unprotected
Draw what's connected
This just a typical, non-reciprocal exchange of time
If I invest in my future I put this all on the line
If I went back to the future I'd be ahead of my time but
For right now I'm just stacking my dimes
I Tuck the shirt
Gotta clock in till the bills paid off
You been working nine to five
Taking no days off
Went to work
Put the time in and got laid off
How bad you want it
This is what the dream cost
Tuck the shirt

Do your job they minimize your efforts
Can't enjoy vacation if you miss the Doctors letter
You sitting contemplating snatching badges off your sweaters
That's another text saying
I thought you were better
Please know I'm penny-pinching
Wishful thinking
Uploaded my resume and
Now I'm waiting for the LinkedIn
I just mind my business in this store
I swear I heard em call me n**** that's for sure
Gotta get outta here quickly
Make my way out to the door
They yelling stop come back
Your pockets we gotta run that
If I woulda stole you think I'd have come back
I just wanna get back
To the business at hand
I overwork when I can
If I have time for they job
Then I have time for my plan
I Tuck the shirt
Gotta clock in till the bills paid off
You been working nine to five
Taking no days off
Went to work
Put the time in and got laid off
How bad you want it
This is what the dream cost
