★ verse 1 ★ There ain’t enough time in the day to be giving my hours away To be stressing 'bout pleasing a customer ‘stead of a listener Making the minimum pay, i don’t have to obey And i wish i could flee like a stray but i gotta put food on the plate So i guess that the music can wait, thinking no one will fuck with the things that i say And i think it’s controlling me And i’m sick of my day jobs, always taking my time and my energy Then make me guilty for time that i take off, like i’m ruined if i'ma get laid off But this shit only temporary, and the stress isn’t necessary One day i’ll be the boss with a view and a couple of secretaries And they’ll do what they want cuz like, they got priorities ★ chorus ★ I got priorities I know the people that’s lifting me up and the people ignoring me I know my mentors, and i see the elders abusing authority And that’s the majority, most of em faking, acting chummy But they got all of this time they’re wanting from me But i got priorities I see the people who comment online but ain’t been at the shows I see the people that’s bumping my heat, and the people who froze And you don’t always know, but i know that they found me So i been making boundaries, yeah And i got priorities
★ verse 2 ★ In stock, i been getting in shape, call it tip top I been taking my evenings to spend with the love of my life while y’all just want your tip topped But i still make it clap like a flip flop, bout to lift off, even without the views from a tiktok Got ‘em waving their hands like a wrist watch, tell ‘em just watch But still i got some homies that ask for an hour, or 2 or 3 But they don’t take 3 minutes for my new release, and i ain’t tryna be so greedy with my time But i gotta grind, and there isn’t much that you do for me Cuz i been needing moral support and some champions People that are backing me up, but your penalties are backing me up So buddy i love you, but sorry you’re really just not my priority

Got a couple more in la and boston I live my life for the fam, for my father and mother Got homies as close as my brothers and brothers as close as the heart in my chest And got sisters i swear i will love and protect on god I know that this life can be hard, but don’t be scared, and all of your troubles should beware Cuz i’ll drop what i’m doing and be there cuz you’re my priority
