It's 5am, ain't nobody see the work that
I'm putting in
Something deep inside a thirst, I can feel it in my skin
Look around me it's a curse, think I'm losing all my friends
An overnight success, what they'll call it in the end

I got this hunger inside of me
Violently scratching and clawing
The scars multiplying
I need something more in this life
It ain't finding me
Fuck it, I'm done being silent

You see, I need purpose
A reason to think that it's all fucking worth it
A reason to wake up and live in this circus
A reason to fight all my visceral urges

Growin’ up, never felt like I fit in
I still don't, but it's better when I get wins
On stage looking out at my best friends
We gon’ get real loud till the night ends

I get pissed that I still don't have a top ten
It’s a fucking boys club at the top then
Like a frat, get hazed just to get in
I ain't doing that shit, I don't pretend
(Yeah)

I wanna be the best
Always had a drive that I had to beat the rest
Put me in the game when there's only seconds left
When the games on the line, yeah, you'll see me at my best

I can feel it in my heart when it's beating out my chest
That's when I lock in, getting better every breath
That's when I'm all in I can handle any threat
I ain't never second guess
I know I can be the best

Let me tell you what I know about life
Yeah, the more that you push
And the more that you fight
Is the more that you learn
What you got deep inside
Is the more that you learn
And you find out your why

It wasn't ever that cool to be a try hard
But all the cool kids didn't make it that far
It doesn't take education or take smarts
It takes fuckin’ hard work and a full heart

They ain't see the work that I put in
They just see a rockstar with a big grin
That's cool, I don't need recognition
I just wanna be free, that's a must-win

Try me in a race, I'ma dust'em
If the money hiding tell'em I'ma bust in
I don't understand hate, all the fussin'
Get a job, get a life, go do somethin’

It's 5am, ain't nobody see the work that
I'm putting in
Something deep inside a thirst, I can feel it in my skin
Look around me it's a curse, think I'm losing all my friends
An overnight success, what they'll call it in the end

I got this anger inside of my veins
Pumping adrenaline when I feel pain
I don't know why I was born with this
I feel so torn and shit
I can't ignore it, yeah

I wanna punch till my knuckles are bleedin’
I want your best, so when I win you're defeated
Go ahead think that my kindness is weakness
I'll use that naiveness
I got a disease and it’s choking and squeezing me
I cannot sleep till I get what I'm seeking
Need every dream in my mind be completed
I live for competing it gives me a reason to live

A reason to get up again and again
A reason to wake up at 5am
I need it to keep me from sinking, I swim
If I didn't I fear I would become unhinged

I don't have a limit
If I want it then I get it
Never quittin’
I'ma win it, in it every single minute
Hitting every single inning
Getting wins again and again
And I'm livin' for the moment
If I want it then I'll own it
I can feel it in my stomach
Man, I really fucking want it
Man, I do it 'cause I love it
I will always give a hundred
Never quittin’ til' I'm first place
Never been so thirsty
Living life without a purpose that would be the worst case

It's 5am, ain't nobody see the work that
I'm putting in
Something deep inside a thirst, I can feel it in my skin
Look around me it's a curse, think I'm losing all my friends
An overnight success, what they'll call it in the end
