TrapNoMore - Carlton Carvalho, Squire

This 9 to 5 don’t pay to live

9 to 5, pay to survive

I’m tryna to do way more than survive

The average job ain’t made for the average man to survive

You either rich or lost if you ain’t feelin' this vibe

Shit I’m tired

Of slinging this

And slinging that

Man I’m tired

Of folding this, and

Folding that

And doing shit, for a bullshit company holding me back

When lord knows, I’m supposed to be, singing these raps

I ain’t trying to miss my calling

But the damn rents due, and they need all of it

Plus I gotta pay this car, no

And if I don’t

How you suppose I’m getting to my next dollar

I guess I’ll hollar

Yep I gotta

Get to it

Flip, move it

Just do it

All I can do is invest in me

Till I get through it.

Clock don’t stop, I gotta move it

I got a dream, and I can’t lose it

Don’t wanna sell another shirt

Don’t wanna sell another shoe

Don’t wanna sell another coffee

Or sell another tea

Don’t wanna sell another G or another O. Z

Cause believe me it’s all the same thing

And I don’t wanna trap no more

No, ayy

I don’t wanna trap no more

No more

Uhn

I just wanna live my motherfucking dream

Rocking mics in crowds

Spreading positive vibes with my team

Bringing the world together to dance to one beat

Bringing our souls together with one poetic speech

Like all we really need

Is knowledge and unity

But everybody caught up on this motherfucking money

The ones who have it are trapped, by their fear of losing it

The ones without it are willing to sell their souls just to get to it

I guess I’m in the middle, tryna stay afloat

Nigga the brainwaves tryna rock my boat

Till I make it and shit

Or I make it a ship

And I take the main wave to where I’m tryna get

Feel like I’m out in the sea

And it’s just making me sick

All the shit that I see

That’s why I can’t slip

If you ain’t living your dream

Well then you trapped in the fake shit

Working to pay a bill?

Ya you trapped in the matrix, and it hurts me to say this
