Six a.m., getting out of bed again. Can’t get back in…

“Six a.m., getting out of bed again. Can’t get back in, cause sleepin in don’t pay the rent. Day to day, they got you working like a slave. Taking credit for the work you gave…and still you lay. I know you’re down…but when you gone get up?” quote by Amel Larrieux
