Through The Motions Lyrics

Living in the world as the time steady rolling

Ten years past still drowning in the ocean

Used to think that I had a dream that was chosen

Every single day I be going thru the motions

Living in the world as the time steady rolling

Ten years past still drowning in the ocean

Used to think that I had a dream that was chosen

Every single day I be going thru the motions

Wake up from my dream time to work my 9-5

Another day here I'm just tryna stay alive

Pay my moms bills so these bills don't arrive

Know my dream is coming I just gotta trust god

Living on a wage where I stay in a loss

With 8.25 how the fuck I beat the odds

Slave for a check every week and comply

And then you work that job till you day that you die

Look up to the sky wonder what it really means

Look me in my eyes tell me what you really see

Am I just a man living foolish for a dream

Not everybody's special guess I'm learning what that means

Clocking in my job and I really wanna leave

Losing my faith on my dreams to achieve

Stuck inside world and my life on repeat

Looking to the sky asking god why me

Living in the world as the time steady rolling

Ten years past still drowning in the ocean

Used to think that I had a dream that was chosen

Every single day I be going thru the motions

Living in the world as the time steady rolling

Ten years past still drowning in the ocean

Used to think that I had a dream that was chosen

Every single day I be going thru the motions

Damn, still still stuck in the city

Everybody still stuck in the city

Nobody makes it out of the city it's like a barrier is stuck in the city

And I can't make it out

Quicksand my plans I need another route

Can't call my dad to come and help me out

I barely know em, I'm only living through a poem

It's rather sad the city is hypnotized for broke stressed and dead

Fuck

All the time spending I ain't getting closer

Roller coaster I been going through with my emotions

Why the fuck my father never help me getting older

Only thing I smell is death and pain in my aroma

In my city everybody down in they emotions

Woulda thought the city prophecy was evil omens

My composure

Losing focus

Far as rap I don't feel it's closer, damn

Living in the world as the time steady rolling

Ten years past still drowning in the ocean

Used to think that I had a dream that was chosen

Every single day I be going thru the motions

Living in the world as the time steady rolling

Ten years past still drowning in the ocean

Used to think that I had a dream that was chosen

Every single day I be going thru the motions

Save me

Hey Nyron, I need you to come in tomorrow

We short a few people on staff, I need you to come work this shift

I know you been chasing your dreams and going through some things

But I want you to know

You never making it outta here alive hahahah

Living in the world as the time steady rolling

Ten years past still drowning in the ocean

Used to think that I had a dream that was chosen

Every single day I be going thru the motions

Time steady rolling

Drowning in the ocean

Dream that was chosen

Going thru the motions

Hey Nyron

Wayne got you working overtime again?

That's crazy

That's why I don't like his ass he always doing that bullshit

Well, I guess imma just catch you tomorrow

Aight, aight
