Hit the Wall
Sweatshop Union Lyrics

Lately eh
The singer has been recently feeling uneasy and uncertain

I get up thinking im gonna fall
The singer wakes up every day worried about a possible downfall

can you save me eh
The singer is asking for help from someone else

from myself before i hit the wall
The artist wants to avoid a personal crisis or breakdown

although i aint really been myself at all
The artist acknowledges that they have not been acting like themselves lately

trying to be the man that i am and stand tall
The singer is putting forth effort to be true to themselves and maintain strong footing

how you gonna say it when your playing yourself
The singer is questioning how anyone could trust or listen to their own words when they don't even believe in themselves

you critics are right you aint believin the hype
The artist acknowledges that those who criticize them are correct - they don't believe in their own hype or success

you in a fist fight boxing with your shadow
The artist feels like they are fighting an imaginary opponent or battling their own insecurities

stuck in yesterday you aint thinking about tomorrow
The artist is dwelling on the past and not looking forward to the future

yesterday is gone and better days are far away
The singer recognizes that the past cannot be changed and the future may be difficult or uncertain

you got a million brilliant thoughts and not a single thing to say
The artist has many ideas but feels like they are unable to articulate them

i need to speak to god but even he's frontin
The singer feels desperate and in need of guidance, but nothing seems to be working out

cuz i only talk to him when i need something
The singer only turns to a higher power when they are struggling or need help

i'm needing him now i need a new style and who to be
The singer is confused about their identity and desires a change in their appearance or personality

i try to buy new clothes but none of them look good on me
The artist is attempting to change their appearance, but nothing seems to work or feel right

women, alcohol, Tylenol for the hangover
The artist is using vices such as women and alcohol to escape their problems and using Tylenol to avoid the repercussions of their actions

next day same damn battle different soldiers
The singer is struggling with the same issues each day, just with different people or circumstances

shit is over, i'm getting older
The singer realizes that they are aging and may not have much time to make changes

hell's hot cold world even getting colder
The world around the artist is harsh and unforgiving, and it feels like things are getting worse

man i'm gonna hit the wall, bounce around like an old pin ball
The artist feels like they are going to reach their breaking point and bounce around aimlessly like a pinball in a machine

sh*t i'm gonna hit the wall, i hope that it aint in front of yall
The artist is afraid of experiencing a mental breakdown or collapse in front of others

i'd write a better story if i had enough ink
The singer feels like if they had more resources or opportunities, they could improve their situation

and i would chain us back together if i had the missing link
The artist wishes they could repair damaged relationships, but lacks the necessary means to do so

outsider, i love to be inside her, now i'm outside her
The singer feels like an outcast and misses being part of a certain group or community

no web for this spider
The singer is unable to create a solid foundation or support system for themselves

cuz i'm a liar but ill suck it all up
The singer admits to being dishonest, but is willing to accept the consequences

and everybody told me kyprios you'll f*ck it all up
The artist has been warned by others that they will mess things up

and they were right with the stereotypes
The artist acknowledges that they have fulfilled negative stereotypes about themselves

i used to be the type of mc your stereo liked
The singer used to have more success and be more popular in their music career

but i'm a loser a loser getting old
The singer feels like they are losing and not being successful, and they are aging at the same time

life is but a stage and i'm forgetting my role
The artist feels like they don't know their place in the world and are struggling with their purpose

you take a drink and the drink takes you
The artist uses alcohol as a crutch, and it ends up controlling them instead

you only get one chance man there's no take two
The artist recognizes that life is short and they need to make the most of their opportunities while they can

see i feel like the the anti-hip-hopper
The singer feels like they don't fit in with the traditional hip-hop scene or culture

i cant say i'm the sh*t when i'm feeling like sh*t and im hitting the wall
The artist feels like they are not doing well or succeeding, and they are going to reach their breaking point soon

i got no moves i aint feeling alright
The singer feels stuck and unable to make progress or improve their situation

if this isn't my hit i might say goodbye
The singer is aware that this may be their last chance to be successful or make a breakthrough

i need a piece of (minor teams), even peace isn't free
The singer desires to belong to a group or community, but even maintaining peace within that group comes at a cost

i'd rent a little piece of heaven if you'd lease it to me
The artist would pay any price to feel content or at peace

you kick it tonight until the bleak sunlight
The artist is engaging in self-destructive behavior late into the night

but i'm sick of this sight without the will to fight
The singer is tired of feeling hopeless and unable to change their circumstances

lately, my whole sh*t is going crazy but i can take a job because it won't take me
The singer is struggling in every aspect of their life, but at least they are able to hold down a steady job

its some today sh*t
The artist is acknowledging that life is hard and uncertain

queens are straight man
The artist is offering reassurance that things will work out in the end

plus always be there when i hit the wall
The artist is confident that they will have support when they reach a breaking point
