9 to 5 Cage (Explicit)

They'll call it"stability"

But if it kills your spirit

That ain't stability

That's a cage

I ain't built for that boxed-in life

I'm built for flames

Try to chain my dream down

I'll break them chains

I been dead inside before

I won't go back again

I'd rather bleed

For my name than pretend I'm them

Yeah I'm hungry

Yeah I'm focused

Yeah I'm on that page

I ain't livin' in no nine-to-five cage

I was stuck in the mud

Now my boots got traction

I was lost in the fog

Now I'm movin' with action

People talk like they know

What it took to survive

But they never been buried

And still stayed alive

This ain't luck

This is pain turned into a plan

This is willpower heavy

In a grown man's hands

I don't need no safe route

I don't need no seat

I need freedom in my chest

When I lay down to sleep

They want comfort

They want quiet, they want you to shrink

Want you numb at the table

While you slowly sink

But I ain't built for slow death

I ain't built for fake

I'm built for high stakes

And a long road escape

I got mouths that depend on me

Future to feed

I got goals in my bones

And a heart that believe

So I'll work like a savage

'Til the mission complete

And I'll turn every doubt

Into smoke in the street

If you love me, you love me

The way I was made

Not the watered-down

Version that obeys and behaves

I'm a force, I'm a wave

I'm a storm with a soul

I don't do halfway dreams

I don't do half control

And I ain't mad at nobody

For not understandin'

But don't stand in my lane

While I'm out here expandin'

I'm too close to the crown

I'm too deep in the grind

Tryna build my whole

Bloodline a better life

I don't need permission

I need results
