[Hook: Monty C. Benjamin]
They said don't quit your dayjob
What they told me
But I've been working
On this music
Since 03'
I been on my up
But it's slowly
Turning into something
That's been working on me
I been at this day job
Too damn long
Told me i would
Have more fun
If i was hands on
Man f** a dayjob
It don't pay enough
But im still here
I don't say it much
But f** it i quit
[Verse 1: Monty C. Benjamin]
f** every exect
In the business that expect
Everything out of me
While they just sit in their seat
I got a life too
I got these bills
And i got vices
I need nikes too
But i guess winging it
Ain't the right move
6 in the morn
I'm at this job
Before the sun is up
Fighting my sleep
Buckle my knees
I took an uppercut
Called studio time
Cause i didn't nap
I got 6 songs
I'm playing em back
My co-workers ask
Me how you do a Tour
Go down to texas
But ain't signed yet
Give advice
Like my approach
Isn't
Already direct
When you try to take
A step that's forward
You will find that
Every crab around
Will try to sidestep
I guess
(sighs)
Nobody get's a n***a
Except for the squad
Know that im destined to be
Bigger than regular jobs
Bigger than
Interviews
In a suit
That i can barely fit
For a job that i hate
That some scary sh**
[Bridge]
Im not lazy
Just know my purpose
I know sh** get's deep
I'm scratching the surface
And i'm gone show out
Before it's curtains
Before i'm wrote off
Before this verse ends
I may sound crazy
Whenever i say that
I live by my dream
And not this paycheck
I check my savings
And i owe way back
And if they call me
I tell them save that
I work all damn week
And on the weekend
I pay all my bills
And i break even
And look i don't care
How hard it may seem
Don't quit your daydream (x3)
