9 to 5 Blues

[Verse] Workin' hard every day Tryin' to make ends meet Livin' on the edge Feelin' the heat Bills pilin' up Nowhere to turn Tryin' to survive in this world that's so stern People losin' jobs Fallin' on hard times The struggle is real It messes with your mind Tryin' to find a way To make a better living But the system's against us It keeps on giving [Verse 2] Wakin' up in the mornin' Same routine again Punchin' that clock Feelin' the strain Boss breathing down your neck Never satisfied But you keep pushin' forward Holdin' on tight [Verse] Hard grind every day Chasing that paper stack Living on the edge Feelin' that fire burnin' at my back Bills stacking up high No escape in sight Tryin' to stay afloat In this world so tight People losing jobs Hit by hard times The struggle too real Messin' with your mind Searchin' for a way To make that better livin' But the system's got us trapped Keeps on takin' and never givin' [Verse 2] Street life Hustle and grind Tryna make it to the top But it's a never-ending climb No time to waste No room for rest Gotta keep moving forward With every breath They say it's survival of the fittest But it feels like a jungle out here Tryna dodge the pitfalls Tryna conquer the fear Gotta keep pushing forward With every step I take Gotta rise above the struggle And make my own fate [Chorus] Gotta keep on pushin' When the world's pushin' back Gotta keep on movin' Stay on the right track The struggle's real But I won't let it hold me down Gonna rise above it all Make my own crown
