Lyrics

I feel a shaking of the ground below
Losing my grip
To gather my resolve keep running towards
A moving target
Sometimes the cracks will bear despite your best
Intentions to cope
So I keep humming on this melody
And strengthen my hope
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la
Another day another dollar down gone
Wake up drink up another cup of dunkin don't
Know what I put in my body to keep the energy pumping
Should've been better about the sleep I didn't get last night
Another crack in the window shows
Praying to god another one won't go
Trying to keep it together the stormy weather gets worse
As the water seeps in, the basement floods to the first
So I take a new loan out
Instead of paying all my dues down
I'm losing interest in interest as the bills they keep turning
Trapped in a cycle of debt my credit card is burning
And on and on and on it goes
It does not stop we try to flow
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la
Wake up again it's always better take two
Remember when they said before you make it you fake it
Well I'm still faking it, still breaking shit
Still hella misses but my Mrs. loves me in my element
I don't care it is worth it
Done is better than perfect
Imposter syndrome be workin
Forget about the doubt let it fodder
Better put the work in much harder
Should allow my mind to give it a new horizon
Reach a bit farther
So we throw it against the wall and see what sticks
Try it a fifth time momma taught me don't quit
Cause if the shoe don't fit
Don't stop keep movin momma taught me don't quit
And on and on and on it goes
It does not stop we try to flow
I feel a shaking of the ground below
Losing my grip
To gather my resolve, keep running towards a moving target
Sometimes the cracks will bear despite your best
Intentions to cope
So I keep humming on this melody
And strengthen my hope
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la la la lala
La la la
