Lyrics

Bus stop wet from midnight rain
Last bus late again again
Safety gloves inside my bag
Eyes so heavy, body drag
One thought say "just turn around"
Go back home and lie back down
Then my phone light up my hand
"Rent due Friday" — I understand
Taxi lights through pouring rain
Quiet faces, tired brains
Small small jokes inside the ride
But everybody broken deep inside
Nobody really talk too much
Energy low, eyes no up
We just clock in, badge machine
Like survival be routine
Two hours gone, body done
Still six more till morning come
Scanner beep, boxes tall
Hoping time go move small small
Two hours gone, back still bend
Checking clock again and again
If to say na choice alone
Some of us for don turn home
Warehouse bright like artificial sun
But inside me, energy don run
Forty kilos on tired arms
Still we dey push through alarm
Supervisor shouting fast
Conveyor belt no dey rest
Look my brother for the line
Fake small smile like we dey fine
One guy stretch him aching hand
Another stare like he lost track
Everybody count the hours slow
Waiting for that clock to close
Sometimes I ask inside my head
"How long person fit live like this?"
Then I remember rent and home
And I carry myself along
Two hours gone, body done
Still six more till morning come
Scanner beep, boxes tall
Hoping time go move small small
Two hours gone, back still bend
Checking clock again and again
If to say na choice alone
Some of us for don turn home
Near morning, bodies slow
Silence louder than before
Some dey limp toward the gate
Too exhausted to complain
No strength left inside these bones
Still somehow we carry on
Don't know how we reach sunrise
But we still survive the night
Two hours gone, body done
Still six more till morning come
Scanner beep, boxes tall
Hoping time go move small small
Two hours gone, back still bend
Checking clock again and again
If to say na choice alone
Some of us for don turn home
