Look, it was not an easy road to get to this point

Long days

Long nights

But it just never worked

I was never lucky

I was hungry

I was desperate

I was angry

Very angry

I was triggered

One-two-three

Clock in every day, clock in every night

Not getting any bigger- that's why I was triggered

Was tryna go places- man, I was booking flights

But that ain't work out either- can't blame me if I'm triggered

Runnin' hustlin', need it quicker

Goin' too slow- yo, that's why I'm triggered

Clock in every day, clock in every night

Not getting any bigger- that's why I was triggered

I put years to this, I take this serious

Feels like everything I covered- call me Nick Fury-ous

Going off from Fall to Summer

I don't know what year it is

What you think that constant failure pushed me- man it clearly did

You take it, I'm taking it back- gotta be quicker than that

Go take a look at my hat- gotta put Connecticut on the map

I'm tryna do it colossal- that's the reason I put it in caps

Nothing's impossible (Yeah)- we just saw Diallo jump over Shaq

But back then, it was Hell- I damn near signed with Satan

My team was taking Ls, they thought that we were tankin'

Like it was all on purpose- "Man, that just sounds ridiculous"

If that's the case, then why was I just begging, selling tickets?

They used to leave me on read, now they coming out the blue

Saying "Congratulations, that's amazing my dude!"

Showing their truest of colors- I'm not even successful yet

Damn, I wonder what it will be like when I'm finally settled not begging for checks (Nato!)

Clock in every day, clock in every night

Not getting any bigger- that's why I was triggered

Was tryna go places- man, I was booking flights

But that ain't work out either- can't blame me if I'm triggered

Runnin' hustlin', need it quicker

Goin' too slow- yo, that's why I'm triggered

Clock in every day, clock in every night

Not getting any bigger- that's why I was triggered

I remember back when I was rapping through the jacks of my iPod headphones

I knew my talent was so astounding, but my pockets were dead broke (For real?)

Yeah, bro

And I was mad at every dude who thought they were better than me

'Cause they could spend a little green on a couple a beats

And a producer to make their music sound amusing

But, dude, it was trash, it was just an illusion

But, I felt like I was better, I had to give more effort

Had to keep my head down, so I could I keep my head up

I was triggered, I figured I could deliver it better

Than any veteran spitter- I just needed a little leg up

So, guess what? I got another job

And I saved a little money scrubbing floors with a mop

I had the determination to make it to the top

I was greatness in the making- man I couldn't be stopped

So, I went to the corner store, bought a new microphone

Learned how rap a little, I knew it was to time go

Used all the energy my enemies were giving me

Started ripping the beat precise like a microscope

Now I'm where I'm at cause I never gave up

Passed up some punks who use to be above

My work ethic stretched, it was so immense

'Cause I was born for this, I fit like a glove

Now they all ask me, "Aren't you worried that your music just might trickle?"

Plain and simple- say "no", 'cause I don't get too tired like a bicycle

But, I'll never settle, keep the pedal pressed

Turn the bass high and let the treble rest

Think I'mma slip? Not- off the top I'm gold

'Cause I'm hip hop and a metal head

Clock in every day, clock in every night

Not getting any bigger- that's why I was triggered

Was tryna go places- man, I was booking flights

But that ain't work out either- can't blame me if I'm triggered

Runnin' hustlin', need it quicker

Goin' too slow- yo, that's why I'm triggered

Clock in every day, clock in every night

Not getting any bigger- that's why I was triggered

Triggered

Triggered

Triggered

Clock in every day, clock in every night

Not getting any bigger that's why I was triggered
