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
