Beat-up kicks walking miles for these pennies
Shake hands fake grins deals ain't friendly
Moonlight my spotlight these nights heavy
Dreams on my backseat the world ain't ready
Hustlin' on the side weight's on my spine
Grinding for the shine but I'm outta time
Hands dirty money clean stuck in between
Chasin’what I can't touch I'm just a machine
A machine
Clock out then clock in life's a sick joke
Rich folks smoke cigars while we just broke
Bills piling like Jenga and one bad poke
My life's a tower crashing no punchline no joke
Whispers in the dark man I hear 'em sigh
"Keep moving keep pushing don’t let it die "
Pulling at my sweat dreams drip from my eye
Corner store living while my soul says "fly "
Soul says "fly "
Hustlin' on the side weight's on my spine
Grinding for the shine but I'm outta time
Hands dirty money clean stuck in between
Chasin’what I can't touch I'm just a machine
A machine
Neighborhood ties tight like a bunker's wire
Street signs preaching struggle whole block's tired
Bag in hand dreams in the other I desire
But I lose 'em like smoke the second I aspire
Hustlin' on the side weight's on my spine
Grinding for the shine but I'm outta time
Hands dirty money clean stuck in between
Chasin’what I can't touch I'm just a machine
A machine
A machine
