They say money makes the world go round

Then why they got me trapped in this cubicle

Working like a square every damn day

Wealth don't come easy when you're musical

People hungry for them green rectangles

Eyes lit cuz the pyramids mangled

Cash don't buy happiness I'm happy-less

Unless I'm rappin' from my heart until I breath my last breath

Let's go, I told myself I'd never quit

But sometimes I feel like the pain ain't worth this

And I ain't even close to gettin' paid yet

But I'm chained to the game on my grind steady workin'

Now what that mean to me?

Will I let it all go let my dreams run free?

Cut off the fruits of labour from this beautiful tree

And let them rot and die, washed away by the sea

Nah I could never picture quittin'

Cuz this is my life and everything I envisioned

I'm happy from within, there's a little bit missin'

But I'mma keep fightin' keep tryin' keep spittin'

Spittin' a message depicting revelation

Revealing the problems created by our nation

See that cube was school and they preachin' education

Where sleepless nights lead to grade points of greatness

Knowledge is key but it's 20 grand a year

To get a piece of paper and forget it next year

I'm supposed to think outside the box but they locked me in

Cuz if I had all the tools how they gon stop me then

Too many people chase the paper put their dreams second

I ain't down for that lemme teach a life lesson

We only got one shot to do what we wish

Why spend a lifetime without unwrappin' this gift

Make yo cubicle beautiful with yo dreams deep in it

Everybody struggles we just try to keep winnin'

My mouth is runnin' dry Sahara the way I'm spittin'

I'd go swimmin' with the sharks if it means really livin'

Now, back to the story at hand

It was once upon a time when I thought I'm the man

But man, my words flew right into the fan

Right back at my face, and then into the trash can

Damnit I'm just garbage discarded and thrown the farthest

Past the target bein' honest can't stop it it is the hardest

I'm droppin' this song's like vomit I bombed it nobody wants it

I fought it and thought I had it and now I've gone and lost it

And now I've gone and lost it

They took away my freedom went ahead and Locked it

Now I'm stuck on an island with nothin' left

I'm writin' Dear John letters but sendin' em to myself

But I'm a young Simba growin' up

Mufasa watchin' from the sky lemme know what's up

Hakuna Matata is what I believe

I'm just tryna have fun followin' my dream

And I've got Scars in my heart

I've been pushed down I jumped back and still workin' hard

Started as a wildebeest made a tiny little rumble

Now I make the earth shake like I'm the king of the jungle
