Lyrics
Chef rings in sick again
I gotta do overtime
Ship inn, mousehole
No prep, it’s a crime
100 covers deep
Pressure makin’ me sweat
Bitches yellin’ in the kitchen
Damn, I ain’t done yet
Ship loss, I’m fightin’ back
Work stress, got me under attack
Arguin’ at home, yeah, it’s a clash
But I’m grindin’ hard, gotta get that cash
Boss on my neck, like a thug in a vice
Flexin’ on the stress, but it don’t feel nice
Late nights, bright lights, I’m burnin’ out fast
Lookin’ for support, but it’s hard to outlast
Bottles on the counter, drownin’ in my fears
Feelin’ like a soldier, but I’m fightin’ through tears
Ship loss, I’m fightin’ back
Work stress, got me under attack
Arguin’ at home, yeah, it’s a clash
But I’m grindin’ hard, gotta get that cash
Keep it 100, don’t stop the grind
Gotta pull together, never fall behind
Support, support, yeah, that’s the game
In this hustle life, we all feel the pain
Home’s like a battlefield, words in the air
Yellin’ at each other, like we don’t even care
But I know deep down, we gotta unite
Through the struggle and the fight, gotta hold on tight
Ship loss don’t mean we’re lost at sea
With the crew by my side, we’re a family tree
Ship loss, I’m fightin’ back
Work stress, got me under attack
Arguin’ at home, yeah, it’s a clash
But I’m grindin’ hard, gotta get that cash
So here’s to the struggle, to the hustle and pain
We rise up together, through the fire and rain
Ship loss ain’t game over, we’ll keep rollin’ strong
With the love and support, we gon’ right the wrong
