Earl’s Eye 2

Lyrics

[INTRO]
Yeah, another day…
Punching that clock, here we go again.

[VERSE 1]
I punch the clock, the sun ain’t up yet,
Another day of sweat and regret.
Earl’s on my case, breathing down my neck,
I swear he’s just here to keep me in check.
Drop-offs lined up, routes all planned,
But in Earl’s eyes, I’m a broken man.

[CHORUS]
Oh, Earl, can’t you see, I’m trying my best!
No matter the cost, I’m a man possessed.
From dawn ‘til night, I give it my all,
But in Earl’s eyes, I’m just waiting to fall.

[VERSE 2]
Jobs overlapping, I got it all timed,
But Earl’s in the corner, calling it a crime.
“You’re too slow, too fast, you missed the mark!”
His words cut sharper than a blade in the dark.
Stacked pallets, straight as a rail,
But Earl’s glare says it’s destined to fail.

[CHORUS]
Oh, Earl, can’t you see, I’m trying my best!
No matter the cost, I’m a man possessed.
From dawn ‘til night, I give it my all,
But in Earl’s eyes, I’m just waiting to fall.

[BRIDGE]
It’s a thankless game, this dance of mine,
Every move I make, he redraws the line.
I’ve bent, I’ve bowed, but I’ll stand my ground,
In the face of your doubt, I won’t back down.

[VERSE 3]
One day I’ll rise beyond your tough love,
Break through the clouds, find skies up above.
But still, here I am, running this race,
Earl and his burden, I’m still in this place.

[CHORUS]
Oh, Earl, can’t you see, I’m trying my best!
No matter the cost, I’m a man possessed.
From dawn ‘til night, I give it my all,
But in Earl’s eyes, I’m just waiting to fall.

[HOOK]
Yeah, I’m waiting to rise, waiting to prove,
That this heart of mine has a groove that won’t lose
