deadlines

Late nights, pen tight, thoughts in a whirlwind, Chasing dreams, but the clock's got me feelin' burdened, Stress heavy, but I keep my mind steady, Runnin' from the past, but the ghosts are always ready. In my zone, but the pressure's like a vice grip, Staring at the screen, every line's a tight script, Whispers in my ear, tellin' me to take a break, But I'm grindin' through the pain, every move's at stake. (Verse 2) Life's a puzzle, missing pieces in the grind, Chasin' shadows, but the light's hard to find, Heart racing, but I'm stuck in a slow lane, Got the weight of the world, but I’m still in the game. Echoes of my doubts, but I drown 'em in the beat, Every failure's just a lesson, never taste defeat, Stackin' bars like my dreams, reachin' for the prime, In this hustle, man, I know I’m runnin' out of time. Chorus: I’ve been on the deadline, down on the decline. Cuz never ever comes for free, guess that’s how it’s meant to be Verse 3 Checking all my lifelines, tryna have a good time I'm grindin' through the night, got these thoughts on my mind, Chasin' dreams in the shadows, where the clock's unkind, Got a pen in my hand, but the page stays blank, Pressure buildin' up, man, I’m feelin' like a tank. Runnin' through these deadlines, racing with my fears, Every tick of the clock echoes loud in my ears, Lost in the rhythm, but the deadline looms, Tryna paint my future, but I'm stuck in these rooms. (Verse 4) Metaphors stack like my bills on the floor, Life’s a puzzle, but I’m searchin’ for the score, Every bar I spit, it’s a step to unwind, But the weight of the world, man, it’s heavy on my mind. Late nights turn to early dawns, I’m awake, Chasin’ shadows of dreams that I’m bound to create, With a chill in my soul, but the fire ignites, Got these deadlines in sight, but I'm ready for the fight. Chorus I’ve been on the deadline, down on the decline Cuz nothing ever comes for free, guess thats how it’s meant to be Ending Broken on the deadline, head for a good time. I really wish stuff came for free guess that’s how I’m meant to be
