I woke up with a chip on my shoulder Seems like another off day
Tried my best just to get some sleep but I couldn't put my mind at bay
I wake up and I'm in the shower Brush my teeth and wash my face
Hype myself up in the mirror Pray to God for a good day
My days all go the same Enough to drive a person insane
I'd be lying if I say I didn't love it But sometimes I need a break
From the pursuit of my dreams Stuck in my way
My critic, yeah, he's here to stay
Negative thoughts always stacking up on me But I just push them all away
Because one of these days I'm gonna make it, yeah, one of these days
In the studio to write some more Make a song then I am out the door
Eat the same meal as the day before Work out till I'm sore
Back inside then I start to read Got a mind and a soul that I have to feed
Get my work clothes on cause it's time to leave Get home then it's back to sleep
This is how I spend my days A hole I can't escape
I'd be lying if I say I didn't love it But sometimes I need a break
From the pursuit of my dreams Stuck in my way
My critic, yeah, he's here to stay
Negative thoughts always stacking up on me But I just push them all away
Because one of these days I'm gonna make it, yeah, one of these days
