Headphones

(album: Gela - 2021)

Do we live to work or work to live
Got me thinking what my purpose is
But them bills don't stop
And to stay on top
U gotta rock up daily to these circuses
When money is the motive
We chasing that promotion
Everybody cause commotion
Cause we all gotta eat
It takes some time to realize that this 9 to 5
Ain't nothing more than a screen and a seat
But when it's knock off
I'm outta there like rocket
Best believe I got a whole lot of spring in my step
And all the stress I leave at the desk
Bump my headphones loud just to clear my head
I know I'm not the only one
That's feels like the only one
Or my company owes me one
Cause over time this over time
It takes its toll we pay the price

Cause when I get home
All alone baby
I'll be flying
When these melodies
Hit repeat
Best believe it yeah
When I put my headphones on
You know I'm gone
So press rewind
This your time baby
You been grinding

Squad up in the lobby talking to my
Arlys tellin them stories
I'm bringin more heat
Bala headphones li märram music-gu
Wiripuny ŋayi ŋunhi gaming-gu gaming-gu
Bala Victory royale ŋali emote nha go
Life changes at a time
When you listen to a type of music with a crazy rhyme
Quote do as much while in your prime
Don't start when there's no time
We gotta mountain to climb
We are one of a kind
Ŋunhili hard-dhirr
Yaka djämaw ŋuyulkthirr
Ŋayaŋu ḏälthirr
Marr ga djämaw djälthirr
Bala representing-mirrnha
Happy nhini gi latju birrimbirr
Marrkapthurrnha gi
Yaka waŋgany'mirr maybe two or three
Day by day gets better I can guarantee
Never feel like you're nothing, Imma disagree

Cause when I get home
All alone baby
I'll be flying
When these melodies
Hit repeat
Best believe it yeah
When I put my headphones on
You know I'm gone
So press rewind
This your time baby
You been grinding

Tell me how you sick and want it more
Asking what we live this life for
It's toxic but you got this
I be steady watching the clock tick
I just wanna get away
Forget all of my mistakes
And just drop it
Chuck on my headphones and rock it

Cause when I get home
All alone baby
I'll be flying
When these melodies
Hit repeat
Best believe it yeah
When I put my headphones on
You know I'm gone
So press rewind
This your time baby
You been grinding
