NO OT, No Extra Pay

[Intro] In the dimly lit office, I punch the clock (clock) Another day of toil, another ticking clock (clock) No overtime pay, just a weary sigh Bills pile up high, and dreams start to die (Start to die) [Chorus] No overtime, no extra pay (Pay) Just the weight of survival, day by day (Day) I can't afford to live, can't catch a break The grind wears me down, my spirit aches (Aches) [Verse] [Neo-soul vibe] The boss cracks the whip, deadlines loom But my heart's not in it, I'm stuck in this office room The fluorescent lights flicker, my soul grows dim I yearn for escape, for a life less grim [Chorus] No overtime, no extra pay (Pay) Just the weight of survival, day by day (Day) I can't afford to live, can't catch a break The grind wears me down, my spirit aches (Aches) [Bridge] I stare at the screen, my mind starts to drift To sun-kissed beaches and skies that uplift But reality snaps back, a cruel refrain No overtime, no relief from the pain [Chorus] No overtime, no extra pay (Pay) Just the weight of survival, day by day (Day) I can't afford to live, can't catch a break The grind wears me down, my spirit aches (Aches) [Outro} So here I am, penning this song A silent rebellion against all that's wrong No overtime, no hope left to cling But maybe, just maybe, my words will sing
