가사
[Verse 1]
Clock strikes five, another Friday done
Another week of nickel-dimin', barely outrun
The rentman's growl, the grocery blues
Got dreams piled high, but my pockets full of loose
Bills flutter by like autumn leaves so brown
Promises I made myself are crashin' to the ground
"Someday soon," I whisper, year after weary year
But "someday soon" starts lookin' suspiciously like "never here"
[Pre-Chorus]
Stuck in this hamster wheel, spinnin' oh so fast
Workin' dead-end jobs, hopin' somethin' will surpass
This rut I'm in, this never-ending chase
For a life that ain't a blur, a smile on my tired face
[Chorus]
Penny dreams in a million dollar world
Just another cog, a story never unfurled
Always hustlin', forever on the grind
This paycheck to paycheck life, it's definitely not one of a kind
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Coffee mug stained with the sweat of unseen tears
Newspaper headlines mockin' with their gilded careers
"The key to success," they preach in glossy prose
But the only key I see is locked on all my hopes
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the clock it never sleeps
Ticking off the moments, counting all the sheep
I haven't shorn in years, too busy countin' beans
Seems like the only green I see is on these worn out jeans
[Pre- Chorus]
Stuck in this hamster wheel, spinnin' oh so fast
Workin' dead-end jobs, hopin' somethin' will surpass
This rut I'm in, this never-ending chase
For a life that ain't a blur, a smile on my tired face
[Chorus]
Penny dreams in a million dollar world
Just another cog, a story never unfurled
Always hustlin', forever on the grind
This paycheck to paycheck life, it's definitely not one of a kind
[Bridge]
Maybe someday I'll break free, fly above the fray
But for now, it's another dollar, another penny day
Scratchin' by, barely survivin', but I won't give in
There's a fire in my belly, a glimmer of a win
[Chorus]
Penny dreams in a million dollar world
Just another cog, a story yet unfurled
Always hustlin', forever on the grind
This paycheck to paycheck life, it ain't gonna define
