12 & a Half

Lyrics

[Verse]
Clock in, 6 AM, no time for dreams,
12 and a half, grind, dust in the seams,
Grease on my jeans, shout the machines,
Generator hum, ain't no in-betweens.

[Verse 2]
Mechanics on the grind, fingers stained,
Night and day bleed, gotta keep 'em maintained,
Sleeping in shifts, sanity strained,
Miss the alarm, trouble, name now stained.

[Chorus]
No days off, ain't no escape,
Twelve and a half, it's the everyday fate,
Wakin' up late, gators at the gate,
Grinding gears, we can't hesitate.

[Verse 3]
Sweat on the brow, back feelin' sore,
Calloused hands, but yo, we give more,
Living like this, raw to the core,
Hustlin' hard, rich or poor.

[Verse 4]
Guys slumpin' over, can't catch a nap,
Snappin' at the boss, tension overlap,
One eye open, always on the map,
Til we break or bust, energy tap.

[Chorus]
No days off, ain't no escape,
Twelve and a half, it's the everyday fate,
Wakin' up late, gators at the gate,
Grinding gears, we can't hesitate.
