Make It Out Alive

Lyrics

[Chorus: Optymus & Zero] So I wake up, I gotta do that nine to five Gotta stay on my music grind until the day I die 'Cause no matter what I'll never make it out alive No one ever makes it out alive So I wake up, another day has gone by Gotta do what I gotta do just to survive 'Cause no matter what I'll never make it out alive No one ever makes it out alive [Verse 1: H8trid] I feel like a loser, can't even afford to pay my rent They say "Appreciate what you got" but I find I'm just content I can't pretend I'm happy whеn I planned on having so much more By now I expеcted to own a home or maybe be on tour Don't need metaphor to compare, I'm feeling poor Another forty hour week to pay a bill I can't afford Now, that's what the music's for, to paint a place I can escape I don't expect to make it big but at least it gives me some faith I swore upon my Grammies grave I'm thankful for the fans I've made I'm thankful to anybody that's helped me out along the way From Prop Squad to S2R to the god damn Promos Crew To anyone that hit me up thanking me for just what I do But sometimes I feel that I might need to give this up I know I'm passed my prime and I wonder when it's enough 'Cause the costs pile up and it starts to take its toll But what's the point of life if you don't aim for a goal [Chorus: Optymus & Zero] So I wake up, I gotta do that nine to five Gotta stay on my music grind until the day I die 'Cause no matter what I'll never make it out alive No one ever makes it out alive So I wake up, another day has gone by Gotta do what I gotta do just to survive 'Cause no matter what I'll never make it out alive No one ever makes it out alive [Verse 2: Optymus] When I wake up I stay up another day on my grind Gotta find what is necessary to bury the time That I spent 'cause I'm spending up all this money I'm making And yes, the bills they keep taking I'm out of breath but I'm racing I gotta find another way I had a dream, but nothing's ever what it seems When your dream's all dissolved and they vanish It's like that nighttime panic 'cause you work until the sunrise Never knowing what your woman's doing 'til the sun shines But that's the life that I live, what do I have that I'd give I gave everything I had to fit in And yes, it left me with nothing Now wish I could've been something I got Elisa, I'm not missing music much But I'm lucky I got a family I guess I've been building my escape plan Every man needs to get away and I'm awake fam I always thought I'd be an artist 'til the end But the artist that I was is not who I am, yeah [Chorus: Optymus & Zero] So I wake up, I gotta do that nine to five Gotta stay on my music grind until the day I die 'Cause no matter what I'll never make it out alive No one ever makes it out alive So I wake up, another day has gone by Gotta do what I gotta do just to survive 'Cause no matter what I'll never make it out alive No one ever makes it out alive
