It's all about the grind
Or so they say
Money on my mind
While my body decays
Won't pay me in life
Maybe pay for my grave
Emotionally paid
Minimum wage
I said I'm looking for a raise
I need it babe
Can't you see
I'm on my hands and knees
We're just crabs in a bucket
Trying to swim
One almost got away
But we pulled him back in
He said
I could've escape, finally been free
They said
Oh won't you change
Please stay with me
When you're away
I get restless
Girl you're in my head again
I rack my brain when you testin
But my patience runnin thin
I can't control my own urges
They keep telling me to quit
I grab the mic and repeat
Since all I have is my own pen
We're just crabs in a bucket
Trying to swim
One almost got away
But we pulled him back in
He said
I could've escape, finally been free
They said
Oh won't you change
Please stay with me
