Snooze ft. EPIK THE DAWN Lyrics

Running late, that set the pace now it's time to wake

No time to shower just brush my teeth on the interstate

I'm doing the race to a place I hate but it pays

If the bills paid I guess I should be doing ok

Hell naw 'cuz I'm starving, barely eating

Hot dogs, ramen noodles, chicken seasons

Peanut butter and jelly spreading before I'm leaving

Clocking in, the pressure heating before they speaking

A living hell when you're pressured to work

When you tell them you're better at worth

You feel the pressure asserts

Don't give a damn about ya living at first

Just give a damn about the products you serve, to make 'em richer

Can you picture the bigger picture of being free?

Instead they picture another nigga when they seeing me

If you figured that you can differ from being me

Damn my nigga it's time to get up when I see the screen

Hitting snooze but I ain' trying to move

Yeah they got us overworking said we dying for loot

Everyday feeling the same when you trapped in a loop

Yeah they play us like game like it's PlayStation Two

Huh

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

Working like a slave every motherfucking day

They wanna see us in the field just slaving away

Under the rays of the sun just burning our face

They done threw us in a cage call it baking a cake

Hot under pressure, they will compress us so we won't let up

For the cheese, we need the cheddar, that mozzarella

We try to leave for the green, they won't lettuce (let us)

Try stacking bread like Sara Lee whenever we get fed up

To put food on the plate it take slaving

The bank account be draining, the money is not saving

The bills steady raising, the paychecks underpaid

We can show the statements no need to explain it

We can change it, picture painted with ya pain man

Picture gaining everything you wish your brain can

If you paint it then you got to go and attain it

But you can't obtain it if hanging on the same shift 'cuz

Hitting snooze but I ain' trying to move

Yeah they got us overworking said we dying for loot

Everyday feeling the same when you trapped in a loop

Yeah they play us like game like it's PlayStation Two

Huh

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

After hours, I have to shower

But I don't feel like doing nothing when I clock out of the gig

But roll the loud up, the speakers louder

I need it to get me out of, just get me out of my head

I'm overthinking how to get me out of this place

I'm tired of working long hours, bussin' over a eight

That overtime be seeming fine until it's time to get paid

And I still ain' got enough to get me through most of them days

I been nickel and diming while I live check to check

That's just the way to hold us down to try to stop our success

We Eric Garner, government they got they foot on our necks

They don't want us to be free they jus want us to be lesser

While they finesse us, they pay professors

To keep us miseducated up in them lectures

And tell us to keep a job, a nine to five

Just so we can retire, close when we die

Til then we

Hitting snooze but I ain' trying to move

Yeah they got us overworking said we dying for loot

Everyday feeling the same when you trapped in a loop

Yeah they play us like game like it's PlayStation Two

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers

We clocked in they control us like controllers
