Side hustle syndrome

[Verse 1]
Got a hobby? Cute
Give it six weeks
It’s a side-hustle
Painted one mug
Now you’re “taking commissions”
Link in bio
Mate
You’re “booked and busy”

Sunday off?
Thought crime
Should’ve batch-filmed content
Should’ve “maximised your downtime” (yeah right)

[Chorus]
Turn your soul into a brand
Every breath
Every thought
On demand
If you’re resting
You’re already late
Sleep is lazy
Stress is “greatness on the way” (apparently)
Smile through the grind
Keep it cute online
Everything monetised
Even your decline

[Verse 2]
Text from a “mate”
“Grab a coffee
Love your page
Let’s connect”
Translation: bring your following
I’ll bring my pitch deck

Birthday drinks
Half the table swapping LinkedIns
Blowing out candles
Posting “blessed”
Checking insights before the cake hits

[Chorus]
Turn your soul into a brand
Every breath
Every thought
On demand
If you’re resting
You’re already late
Sleep is lazy
Stress is “greatness on the way”
Smile through the grind
Keep it cute online
Everything monetised
Even your decline

[Bridge]
Can’t make plans
I’m “fully booked”
By anxiety
Not by clients
Call it freedom
Call it “choosing the grind”
I call it being tired in a different font

[Chorus]
Turn your soul into a brand
Every breath
Every thought
On demand
If you’re resting
You’re already late
Sleep is lazy
Stress is “greatness on the way” (oh yeah)
Smile through the grind
Keep it cute online
Everything monetised
Even my time to cry
