Clock In Lyrics by Token Genius

Twentywanting

2021

[Verse 1]
Laid off? Damn, I just got clipped
I had been tryna dip- guess that's a message God sent
Aight, cool, I've been working with a recruiter
Lined up some interviews, so it's whatever, I got this
Down the line, no offers or I'm declined
This was supposed to be fine, I don't get what I missed
Or what I'm missing- In an awkward position
These so-called professionals act like my credentials do not exist
Graphs and pie charts imposed on us a bias
That higher education meant better hiring prospects
Pot of gold at rainbow's end, the shiny new object
Landing a quote-unquote good job, what a concept
I'm not there, blame it on my mindset
My field is a minefield, I ain't land mine yet
I'm still mining 'till I strike success
And counting every deduction struck from my check

[Chorus]
Not moving forward but there's no stopping
Look left, look right, looking for options
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in

[Verse 2]
Time passes, new job, I'm back in the saddle
Everyone has their path, but for me, this is not it
Still on the hunt 'cause I feel my skills are stunted
But, I can't even front, there's money here that I gotta get
Fam proud, I know they're holding me down
But if you ask where I'm at now, I'd probably switch the topic
No traction with any of my passions
Plus this benefits package tells me I cannot quit
Health, dental, vision, 401 or a pension
Stock plan for the dividend, that get your attention?
Then again even the best of returns can diminish
At every job I've had, I've heard somebody bitching
Been here x years, why do they get Zs from bigwigs?
Oh, they must have a record, sounds like a prison sentence
I would tell them it's all mental
But I'm not the most optimistic- how am I different?

[Chorus]
Not moving forward but there's no stopping
Look left, look right, looking for options
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in
Not moving forward but there's no stopping
Look left, look right, looking for options
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in
Block it all out when I clock in

[Outro]
I won't be here forever, so I can't be here forever
I won't be here forever, so I can't be here forever
I won't be here forever, so I can't be here forever
I won't be here forever, so I can't be here forever
