“Chasing Paper”

Intro

They told me money buys freedom…
Funny thing —
I’ve never felt more owned.

Verse 1

Sun comes up — I’m already tired
Clock on the wall — another liar
Hands stay busy — soul stays broke
Selling hours just to barely cope

They say “work hard” — I say “for what?”
Another bill, another knot
Gold looks good from far away
Up close it smells like rust and pain



Chasing paper — losing time
Trading days for a dollar sign
Everybody running fast
No one asks what’s left inside

Chasing paper — round and round
Digging graves in higher ground
If this is winning, I’m not sure
Feels like dying just a little more

Verse 2

Boots stay dirty — hands stay clean
Smile for bosses I don’t mean
Dreams get smaller every year
Fear dressed up as “career”

They call it success — I call it debt
A longer leash — a nicer cage
Counting money I don’t spend
Too damn tired to live again



Chasing paper — losing time
Trading days for a dollar sign
Everybody running fast
No one asks what’s left inside

Chasing paper — round and round
Digging graves in higher ground
If this is winning, I’m not sure
Feels like dying just a little more



My old man said “son, don’t rush”
But the world keeps screaming “more, more, more”
I don’t need a bigger house
I need a life that’s mine, not bought



Chasing paper — hands in chains
Gold don’t heal this kind of pain
If I’m broke but I’m still free
That’s worth more than what they pay me

Chasing paper — I’m stepping out
Let ‘em run — I’m slowing down
If this road leads to the grave
I’d rather walk my own damn way

Outro

Money talks…
But it never says your name.
