I ain't walking in my purpose
Yea, yea uh
This ain't what I want, this ain't what I want
Go to college get your degree, that's what I was taught
Take out loans, the interest piling and now we got caught
9 to 5 for 3 and a half, it's time to get lost
But yup I did that
Head to my dreams in my teens, turns out can't risk that
Got a class, can't miss that and got work I need quick cash uh
But I'll be so regretful, because I know I'm special
I need a name not Uncle Danny and Moses nephew
Let's put an end to this sick employee mentality
Only focused on salary, all your dreams are a casualty
But you can change your ways
This don't gotta be your reality
We sacrifice our dreams for security rather happily
Uh, but now my mind's grown
I'm in grind mode with this rhyme flow
It's been nine years, where time go?
And this road to riches got potholes uh
My brother I.T. moved to Cali to live his dream
I've been truly inspired, show your magic while on the scene
Uh, let's make a move and make it worth it
I ain't grinding giving up my time just to barely scratch the surface
Dirty Jersey resurgence is the mission and we working
I know I got bills but if I don't quit then pull the curtains
I ain't walking in my purpose
I ain't walking in my purpose
I ain't walking in my purpose
I ain't walking in my purpose
I ain't walking...
Is this what I need, is this what I need?
8 hours a day 40 hours a week
Take lunch in the car just to get some sleep
All this time for them but no time for me?
Had a list of goals still tryna achieve
Set them to the side just to build they dream
Losing all my drive and my self esteem
Some luxuries I can't get back damn so what that mean
Shit got me thinking, am I trapped up in this sequence?
Am I working for my future or just working for the weekend?
Still living check to check and I'm just waiting on a raise
But do it even matter, I'm worth more than what I'm paid
They don't recognize my efforts, they snatching all my focus
I ain't getting this promotion, I'm bout to send this notice
I hate to see the gifted sacrifice they souls to corporate
My lifestyle is performing, I'm not beat for conforming
You know how many times I hit the crib and I feel worthless?
My talents and my efforts never matching what I'm earning
I gotta change the narrative, regrets'll make me nervous
I'm taking all control for my fulfillment I deserve it
Now I'm walking in my purpose
