5AM (Overnight Success)

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, fvck it, I'm done being silent

You see, I need purpose

A reason to think that it's all fvcking 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 'til the night ends

I get pissed that I still don't have a top ten

It’s a fvcking 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 (Yeah)

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 fvckin' 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'mma dust 'em

If the money hiding, tell 'em I'mma 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 'til 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 naïveness

I got a disease, and it's choking and squeezing me

I cannot sleep 'til I get what I'm seeking

Need every dream in my mind to 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'mma 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 fvcking 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
