24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by 24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by My mouse club projections never saw me trapped in this rat race A labyrinth, dreams get tossed in this mass grave and left for dead Artists turn carcasses on the regular, perilous steps like Everest I’m just trapped on the precipice of What could be and what could have been while puttin in hours on this treadmill incline Incentivized by where I was in 2016 when money was freedom and everything I needed to make my dreams come true Yeah Who knew the grind would be grounded into Ground Hog Days Just doomed to repeat, I peaked, and the shadow faded every time Long cold winters just like the 6 All my demons formed all at once, I felt just like Dave in the mist 23 me with Michael Jordan intent Damn whatever it costs, you step on that court and you win Homie, simple as that Now half a decade later it’s a struggle just to find ways to keep my mental intact 24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by 24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by I am the spirit that used to possess your previous self Now I’m in this shell and yellin for help And since you only seem to listen when I’m screaming at you Just wanna let you know I’m contemplating speedin past you On to the next, on on to the next one. Just another unfortunate soul in they collection Member when we said we’d never be part of that world Now our Hail Mary play’s the Shawn Carter track if we’re thorough Yeah Check one check two check until death Worried every other month that you might lose your address Drinkin to lessen the stress You know you predisposed It’s in yo bloodline I’d just hate to see you go through it. No clue if when you jump And believe me homie you will You gon hit a Dumbo or just let gravity get the kill Its 2 pills and I’m begging you not to take the blue ‘Fore we both end up in the matrix slaving and hating you Uh 24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by 24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by Let me begin this by letting you know I get it. But young padawan you afraid of a phantom menace A figment driven by ya cynicism And the insecurities collected in baggage from those Missouri streets Then overnighted to the Mile High city Mountain top gear levels of exhaustion so you lashing out And detaching and overlooking the views you did attain All because it didn’t happen how you mapped it out But that comes with the Territory you marked when you’ve chosen to live and die by the pen They playin the tiniest violin for you For ya 411 You sound like a broken record Half of our section livin broke and restless Ya narcissism got you talkin to yourself like echo echo Reflection says you lookin at a star like Fred Roe You know I could be one of one or one of many As long as I’m God body, the demons can try and get me 24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by 24/7 I’ve been working overtime Ain’t got that much to show for it Still had to sell my soul for it Just to get by 24/7 I’ve been working overtime, time, time, time, time 24/7 I’ve been working overtime, time, time, time, time
