lyrics

It’s the oldest story, only we know
‘Cuz we carry the trauma in our bones
You feed off the answers found in my blood

Without doing any of the work
You feel entitled to the knowledge that I’ve earned
Consuming my sweat to quench your thirst

Chorus:
You want what’s all in my mind
As long as it’s not on your dime
And comes with no effort at all

Reclaiming all of my time
Money talks, Guilt buys!
Inquire before robbing us of all
That we’ve built

I resist the impulse to engage
To invest my energy in vain
You won’t deplete my sanity

Benefiting from my two-cents, ain’t free
Don’t want your guilt-evading apology
You betta say it to my PayPal

Repeat Chorus.

RECLAIMING MY TIME
RECLAIMING MY TIME
RECLAIMING MY TIME
RECLAIMING MY TIME
