Wake up, clock in, 9 - 5, just business. Get home, TV dinner, get to sleep, you're the breadwinner. it never was about the money it's been about being terrified to go hungry I'm tired of hiding dry foods under my bed so i always know where my next meal is coming from i don't want these dead end jobs that I've been working If a sacrifice an arm and a leg Do you think that they would finally slip me a raise I feel that i put in more than what is asked of me Because when my job is complete My face is nothing more than a dollar sign to these companies But a man's gotta eat So he works his dead end job Where his boss yells at him And his only thank you is in the form of a card It’s not about the money No its never been about the money I just want to be worth something And I can make all this money, I'm afraid to spend it Because i know what its like to be poor I can buy all this food I'm afraid to eat it Because i know what its like to starve So tired of these paper promises I'm tired of bleeding for a corporation That cant even remember my name Is this life that I'm living Is this my reality Is it because i was born into generation Z Or should i blame the millennial's that came before me For the fact that i wont be able to buy a house until my mid 30's When ill constantly complain about my back hurting Because of the 40 hour weeks I've been working If i drain my soul from my body Will i be satisfied with retirement Or will i be upset That i didn't put myself 80 grand in debt For a job that wasn't guaranteed I want a guarantee that i can provide for my family I want a guarantee that i wont keep going hungry I want a guarantee that these paper promises will mean something So tired of these paper promises I'm tired of bleeding for a corporation That cant even remember my name
