Break Even

[Hook:]
Hey man they dying just to break even
I hope to God you hit the block before you leave here
Hey man I'm dying just to break even
I swear to God I'll hit the block before I leave here.

[Verse 1:]
Dressed fresh, 20,000 in debt
Seen an old classmate when I jumped off a jet
Working TSA, this is what he said
"Why you look stressed? Man you set"
He said he got a 9 to 5, work the night shift
And he got a side hustle after that
I'm like when do you sleep
He just laughed, and said "what's that?"

[Hook]

[Bridge:]
Imma tell you, Imma tell you, Imma tell you
Like a nigga told me:
I live by the beat, I live by the beat
Like you live check to check
You don't move your feet then I don't eat
So we like neck-to-neck
I live by the beat, I live by the beat
Like you live check to check
You don't move your feet than we don't eat
So we like neck-to-neck.

[Verse 2:]
I used to always flirt with a girl I waited tables with
Nothing major, it was on the playful tip
I was faithful, until one day my lady flipped
Then I asked one day "can we hang a bit?"
She looked me dead in the eye, said she had no time
And I was tripping
Then she said "see me on the weekend
Working nights at Deja Vu, downtown stripping".

[Hook/Bridge]

[Outro:]
You know I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying to break even
You know I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, you know I do
Hey we dying, we lying, we dying to break even
And we try, and we try, and we try, you know we do
Hey man I'm dying, to break even
You know I'm trying, you know I do
I see you dying, just to break even
I see you trying, you know you do
Me too.
