[Verse 1]
Used to smash guitars on grimy floors
Now Iām hauling clocks through country clubsā doors
āPunkās not d**d,ā I used to shout
Now Iām checking logos for proper mount
Lugging time in a velvet case
Wearing polos just to save face
I used to live outside the lines
Now Iām placing them at tee box signs
[Chorus]
Iām clocked in ā yeah, branded and clean
Told the world to burn, now I keep it pristine
Setup at dawn with that Rolex gleam
Used to r**t, now I sync machines
I scream inside where no one sees
āCause I clock in for luxury
[Verse 2]
Those clocks tick louder than my pride
Wrapped in chrome with āheritageā inside
āTimeless craftā they say with pride
But itās all for show on the sponsor side
I used to wear chains and steel-toe boots
Now itās slacks and āthanksā from guys in suits
I place the time for the one percent
And wonder where my hunger went
[Chorus]
Iām clocked in ā pushing the dream
From anti-sellout to the branding team
Got a checklist, got a branded vest
Got āintegrityā in an NDA chest
Yeah, I trade rage for deadlines clean
I clock in for luxury
[Bridge ā Yelled]
Set the stands, raise the sign
Make sure that logo hits the line
Legacy on every face
But not a second left for grace
[Breakdown ā slow, sarcastic]
Golden crown, Swiss-made pride
Tells the time while you die inside
From mosh pits to fairway views
The revolutionās wearing brand-new shoes
[Final Chorus ā faster and angrier]
Iām clocked in ā Rolex shine
Set the scene, but lost the spine
Was punk, now Iām āon-site techā
Checking clocks with a brand on my neck
From raw to routine, from real to routine
I clock in for luxury
[Outro ā spoken/snarled]
āTime is money⦠and Iām right on time.ā
