Circuit Syndicate Anthem

Lyrics

Intro: Young with time and energy, pockets always on E, Dreaming ’bout a future where the rent don’t bully me. Verse 1: Kid days, sun out, whole block felt free, Riding on a hand‑me‑down bike, no ID. Had days, had nights, had stamina to burn, But no cash for the snacks that my stomach would earn. Mama said, “School first,” I was skipping the math, Chasing every little dream that was living in my path. Didn’t worry ’bout a bill, didn’t worry ’bout a fee, Only thing that I was broke on was responsibility. �� Hook: Time on my side but the money run away, Energy high, I could go another day. Every stage different, watch the numbers rearrange, Story of life, everything but never all the change. �� Verse 2: Now I’m grown, nine‑to‑five, suit tight, no play, Got checks, got stress, barely seeing any day. Phone full of missed calls, dreams on hold, Eyes red ’cause the grind turn the young heart old. Plenty on the card but I’m empty in the soul, Calendar full, can’t rest, on a roll. I can pay for the trip but I can’t find a slot, Whole life booked out, energy running hot. �� Chorus: Young we had time and the power, not a dime. Grown we got money, losing hours in the grind. Old we get moments and the savings that we made, But the spark that we needed slowly starting to fade. �� Hook: Time on my side but the money run away, Energy high, I could go another day. Every stage different, watch the numbers rearrange, Story of life, everything but never all the change. � Verse 3: Old head on the block with a pocket full of green, Whole day open but the body ain’t keen. Steps getting short while the pension getting long, Playlist loud but the bones not strong. Looking back like, “Why I never took that chance?” Had the fire and the funds, never made ’em dance. Now I’m staring at the clock, fighting just to stay awake, Time and money in my hand but my strength can’t relate. �� Outro: So I stand in the middle with this mic in my hand, Trying to break the little chart, make my own life plan. If time, cash, energy never move as a team, I’ll still die trying to live every box in the meme. [Angel singing] [Electric guitar]
