Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Clock in, fam, another day in this joint
These fools don't know the shit I see, that's the point
Manager breathin' down my neck, yeah he stressed
While I'm tryna keep my cool through this mess
"Where's my order?" man, just wait your damn turn
Got six tickets stacked, watch that patty burn
Minimum wage warrior, I ain't playin'
Every second feels like years, I'm just sayin'
(Ayy, ayy!) Customers screamin' in my face
But I keep it professional in this place
Though inside my head I'm 'bout to snap
Smile and nod while they give me crap
[Chorus]
Heat in the kitchen got me sweatin'
Timer's beeping, no time for restin'
Boss man trippin', orders missin'
This ain't livin', but I keep resistin'
(Keep resistin', yeah!)
[Verse 2]
Yo, lunch rush hit like a freight train crash
Register frozen while they wave their cash
Karen wants a refund, says her food's too cold
Same shit different day, getting mighty old
My crew's got my back though, we all stressed
Slingin' orders out like we possessed
Oil burns on my arms tell the tale
Of another day trapped in this hell
(What! What!) They don't know the half
Behind this counter, man, we craft
Pure chaos into perfect plates
While they complain about the wait
[Chorus]
Heat in the kitchen got me sweatin'
Timer's beeping, no time for restin'
Boss man trippin', orders missin'
This ain't livin', but I keep resistin'
(Keep resistin', yeah!)
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder why I'm here
Busting my ass day after year
But bills don't pay themselves, you feel me?
And pride won't fill an empty belly
(That's real talk!)
[Rap]
Look, let me break it down for y'all quick
Twelve hours deep in this shift, feeling sick
Got grease in my hair and stains on my kicks
But I'm stackin' up this paper, brick by brick
They look down on us but we run this shit
Without us grinding, they'd all throw fits
So next time you roll through wanting food
Remember who's cooking it, better change your attitude
[Chorus]
Heat in the kitchen got me sweatin'
Timer's beeping, no time for restin'
Boss man trippin', orders missin'
This ain't livin', but I keep resistin'
(Keep resistin', yeah!)
[Post-chorus]
(Yeah, we keep on grindin')
(Every single day)
(Until we make it out)
(That's all I gotta say)
[End]
