WAY OUT Lyrics

I've been searching for a way out And I can't find one

I've been searching for a way out I can't find one

Is this the end for me? Is this the end

Said is this the end for me? Is this the end

Trapped in this cycle live check to check Some goes to rent the rest goes to some debts

Clocked 90 hours this week I don't have time to rest

You have one of two options go hungry or depressed

And divided we fall this ain't about right or left

And the rich just get richer it's 1% vs the rest

How many coffees would it take to buy my family a home

They'll take my money for a lease but they won't lend me a loan

I'm tired tired of work tired of bills tired of taxes tired of dying to live

Tired of spending my time away from the people that I wanna spend all of it with

Tired of living to work when we should be working to live

Tired of making more money for someone who's already rich

Tired of working for crumbs when I wanna leave some for my kids

Tired of having to choose between groceries or having to pay for my meds

Tired of paying on my student debt Tired of having to settle for less

Tired of working myself to distress Tired of hearing just gotta work harder

Tired of every time that I get close the goal line moves frther away

Tired of capital strain tired of paying to play

Tired of seeing people that I love die inside at 25

That wait 60 years to be put in a grave Tired of working a job that I hate

Tired of saying I'm tired I know my persistence will pay

When does it change

Ooh I've been searching for a way out And I can't find one

I've been searching for a way out I can't find one

Is this the end for me? Is this the end

I said is this the end for me? Is this the end

My mental health is declining But if I take a day off then I don't get paid

This is the burnout generation Don't know no one who don't need a break

The American dream is a nightmare To the dollar we are enslaved

They take so much from us in taxes But these roads they ain't getting paved

Life is for living not profits Bloodstream as clean as my conscience

My anxiety's making me nauseous Tears have been flowing like faucets

Swallowed my pride and taken some losses Redefining what a boss is

Self-employed I don't know what a boss is My mind been running so much you'd think I did CrossFit

I put in the work Begging you God like I'm going to church

I don't want more than the life I deserve Made it my mission to inspire with words

Speaking my mind its for better or worse These words are my purpose so that I am sure

Claiming my freedom I'm breaking the curse I'm the only one defining my worth

Got tired of saying I'm tired Tired of running the race

Tired of working for somebody else Got tired of running in place

This world will beat you down if you let it But won't let that happen to me

Spoke to 15-year-old me a dream And I swear he was wiser than me cause he said

If you can be anything you wanna be Put your mind to it just like your dad told you

You gotta get up and get out his town You gotta prove me right you gotta make me proud

You gotta do this for people like us The people that's misunderstood

Show us that you can live the life that you want The way that I promised we would

Cause that's your way out

I've been searching for a way out And I can't find one

I've been searching for a way out And I can't find one

Is this the end for me? Is this the end

Said is this the end for me? Is this the end
