Walking in My Purpose (feat. O. Live)

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
