[Intro]

Sometimes I feel like I’m running on a treadmill in life

Day in, day out, but I stay in the same place

Let’s make it work out by finishing this mental workout

Y’all with me?

[Verse]

You’re always trying so hard but always destined to fail

You’re trying to fill the bucket up but there’s a hole in the pail

You’re getting nowhere like a dog that’s chasing its tail

You’re just like Ol’ Gil, move like the wind, chasing that sale

You’re tryna eat that steak but instead you’re cleaning the plates

You’re thе slowest rat around trapped running the racе

You’re lost in a Lagrange point, spinning, floating in space

You’re trying to get ahead but stuck in the same place

You’re spending all your time squeezing blood from a stone

You’re making a pitch to change it, but it comes out monotone

You’re busy as a beaver, no one gives a damn, you’re alone

You’re sitting here dialing, they won’t ever pick up the phone

You’re like a hamster forever spinning inside of the wheel

You’re like a vicious circle rolling down an infinite hill

You’re sitting on death row on your 18th appeal

But you’re also like a phoenix who will never be killed

[Break]

Flip that script. I’ll tell you what to do next…

[Verse]

You need to take a step off of that treadmill

You need to remove the Ouroborus’s head from its tail

You need to start to dance there’s no time to sit still

You need to apply yourself, already steeping in will

You need to know joy, con yourself if it’s needed and switch

You need to know there’s never been an eternal ditch

You need to rip that circle it can always be stitched

You need to realize only you can pull you out of this sitch

You need to be versatile, block the drifting river’s dam

You need to try new things, pressured like Sam-I-Am

You need to trust your support structure, that’s your fam

You need to always put yourself first, that’s why my name’s Adam

You need to get yourself unstuck, life isn’t made of glue

You need to realize that we all special, there’s no chosen few

You need to remember all the shit you ever went through

And you need to stop hoping for change and instead change you
