I was making pizza at home
Grinding on the seventh floor
She was in the city working hard to catch a break
But this is just an over joy
Making things are still in sore
They say it all comes to those who wait
But honestly the waiting game
Is enough to drop a man insane
I just wanna jump out of the block
You know what I'm talking about
Alot of living head to mount
I'm always counting what I've got
[Hook]
'Cause I don't wanna be like a machine
Robots don't breathe
Refuse to be like a machine
Robots don't breathe
I know that something's gotta give
'Cause the checks are coming slow
When you know I gotta live
So maybe I should get a 9 to 5
Put a chain around my neck
So that we could stay alive
Counting down the days until we die
Life is more than punch a clock baby
It's a lie
We don't have to be some serpentry in a machine
We could stay up in the clouds searching for the dream
We don't have to buy into the scheme
But man it seems
That the market got us crawling on our hands and knees
And the cash is the king and the plastic God
Manifesting in your wallet like a master card
That you swipe when you need a little fix
Only 9.99 but it's really triple six
And your mind playing tricks selling sh** that you don't need
And you ain't fooling me
[Hook]
'Cause I don't wanna be like a machine
Robots don't breathe
Refuse to be like a machine
Robots don't breathe
She was chilling home alone
Up there on the seventh floor
I was in the city working hard to catch a break
But if we only persevere
And everything will soon be clear
We just gotta have a little faith
Refuse to be like a machine
Robots don't breathe
Refuse to be like a machine
Robots don't breathe
