lyrics

I keep chasing the money to fill the void
Hoping to buy my way to joy
But it won't compensate
For my battered mental state
I'm running after these fake dreams
That I convinced myself it's my destiny
But it won't satisfy me
Won't bring me any kind of peace

Day by day it's all the same
Put in the work but nothing changes
Time pass by but I don't age
Been stuck in the same place
Tryna escape from all the noise
But I'm surrounded 360
You always selling me something
You always selling me something
Go to work and I become the voices
Gotta capture you 360
I'm always selling you something
I'm always selling you something
What's our relationship but just another brand deal
Plaster up your name till the disconnect becomes real

I keep chasing the money to fill the void
Hoping to buy my way to joy
But it won't compensate
For my battered mental state
I'm running after these fake dreams
That I convinced myself it's my destiny
But it won't satisfy me
Won't bring me any kind of peace

Tryna sell you the lifestyle to cope with the fact that
You don't have free will
Stop being in denial
Racking up clout but what you gon do with that
Can't use it on your death bed wishing that
You gave more of a shit of what you want
And less of a shit of what they need
Utopia ain't such a fantasy
If we weren't so fucking greedy
But who am I to talk
What the fuck do I know
Just waiting for that damn ticking bomb to explode

I keep chasing the money to fill the void
Hoping to buy my way to joy
But it won't compensate
For my battered mental state
I'm running after these fake dreams
That I convinced myself it's my destiny
But it won't satisfy me
Won't bring me any kind of peace
