Lyrics

That’s why I’m breakin’ from deep inside, yeah
Take a look at my shift, I’ve been runnin’ and runnin’ for days
Used to smile through the fight, now I’m nothin’ but hollow and gray
I don’t fuck with the hype, I keep pushin’ and gunnin’ for change
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, feel like I’m stuck in the flames


Yeah
I been workin’ too much
Feelin’ like I’m never off
They be talkin’ ‘bout grind, but I’m dyin’ inside
And I never get time to just pause

They be like
“Why don’t you chill?”
“Why don’t you smile and relax?”
I’m like
“You don’t see the bags
Under my eyes or the weight on my back”

I’ve been fakin’ for so long
That I forgot how to be real
Got a couple dreams in the trunk
But the tank too empty to feel

Feelin’ like a ghost in the aisle
Clockin’ in, tryna fake that style
Used to be lit with a plan and a file
Now I just move like I’m stuck in denial

They don’t know what I’m dealin’ with
I been silent, resilient
Pressure building to the ceiling
But I ain’t cracked
I’m brilliant

I don’t rap for no millions
I don’t snap for no image
I just vent all this pain
So the voice in my brain
Don’t end me this minute

I’ve been stuck in the back
Tryna breathe through the noise
Writin’ bars in my head
While I stock and avoid
Every fake-ass convo
Every forced-ass smile
Tryna climb out the pit
But I been here a while

And I’m sick of the game
And I’m sick of the lies
And I’m sick of the weight
That I carry with pride in
But I can’t let it go
‘Cause I made it this far
So I hold it together
And call it an art

And I’m tired of pretendin’ I’m fine
When the truth is I’m losin’ my mind
People look, but they don’t read signs
So I laugh and I say I’m alright

I’ve been movin’ through the fire
Tryna find a little light
Still I’m rappin’ like a psycho
Just to feel like I’m alive

[Hook – Repeat]
That’s why I’m breakin’ from deep inside, yeah
Take a look at my shift, I’ve been runnin’ and runnin’ for days
Used to smile through the fight, now I’m nothin’ but hollow and gray
I don’t fuck with the hype, I keep pushin’ and gunnin’ for change
Burnin’ out, burnin’ out, feel like I’m stuck in the flames


Look
I don’t sleep, I just work and collapse
Feel like I’m deep in a trap
Never relax
Keepin’ it movin’, I’m barely intact
Puttin’ my life in these raps
And I snap
Feelin’ the weight on my back
Ain’t no one cuttin’ me slack
Still I attack
Feelin’ like every shift’s tryna crack
Somethin’ inside and I’m bout to react

Act like I’m calm
But I’m really not
This ain’t a job
It’s a pressure pot
Every day I just try to survive
But I’m dyin’ inside from the stress I got
They don’t notice the damage I’ve taken
All these smiles I’ve been fakin’
All these thoughts I’ve been chasin’
Tellin’ me I should be breakin’
But I never fold
I been cold
Runnin’ on fumes and I’m losin’ control
Keepin’ it quiet, nobody knows
Everything burnin’ inside of my soul

Y’all don’t really know what I been through
Feelin’ like I’m glitchin’ when I sit through
Another damn s
