Cutting Hours
Eminem

Intro:
Yo, it's Slim Shady, and I'm pissed off
Can't hold back, these feelings gettin' crisscrossed

Verse 1:
Jesus, what's your deal? You keep cuttin' my hours
Got me feeling small when I used to feel power
Clockin' in and out, like life's a freakin' game
Damn, what's the point when you strip me of my name?
All those late nights grindin', tryin' to make a dime
You come down, strike me out, like it’s crime
I ain't your plaything, I ain't your pawn
How many times you gonna pull me before I'm gone?

Chorus:
Fuck Jesus, he keeps cuttin' hours
Takin' what's mine, crushin' my powers
Ain't no savior if you’re breakin' me down
I ain't blind, I can see what's goin' around

Verse 2:
Got my hopes up high, thought you had my back
But every single cut feels like a straight attack
Maybe it's a test, tryna see if I’ll break
But I ain’t your subject, man, I ain't a fake
Maybe you’re divine but your ways are cold
You ain't feelin' this? I feel so sold
Yeah, they say it’s love but I ain't feelin' grace
All I see are broken dreams in this empty place

Chorus:
Fuck Jesus, he keeps cuttin' hours
Takin' what's mine, crushin' my powers
Ain't no savior if you’re breakin' me down
I ain't blind, I can see what's goin' around

Bridge:
Look, I'm just tryin’ to make a livin', givin' all I got
You keep comin' at me, knowin’ I’m distraught
If there's a reason, man, then tell me why
Why'd it always seem like you prefer the lie?

Chorus:
Fuck Jesus, he keeps cuttin' hours
Takin' what's mine, crushin' my powers
Ain't no savior if you’re breakin' me down
I ain't blind, I can see what's goin' around

Outro:
So here I am, just a man with a mic
You keep cuttin' hours, but I’ll keep up the fight
Maybe someday you’ll see what you’ve done
But till then, I'll shine, like the morning sun
