Lyrics

Intro

Alright… today’s the day.

New me. New life.

Let’s be productive—

(5 minutes later)

…never mind.

Verse 1

Opened up my to-do list

Felt responsible for like… a bit

Checked one thing, I felt so proud

Then my brain just wandered off somehow

Sat down straight, I had a plan

“Focus up, you got this, man”

Then I blinked and now it’s noon

Watching random videos I didn’t choose

Pre-Chorus

I had momentum for a second there

Then it vanished into thin air

Chorus

I TRIED BEING PRODUCTIVE FOR 5 MINUTES

Now I’m mentally unavailable, who is this?

Had a plan but I abandoned it

Now I’m deep in stuff that’s irrelevant

I tried being productive for 5 minutes

That’s my record, yeah, I’m finished

If effort had a limit line—

I crossed it once, I’m done, I’m fine

Verse 2

Clean my room? Yeah, that’s the goal

Picked one sock… then lost control

Found old stuff from years ago

Now I’m stuck in memory mode

Opened tabs, like twenty-three

None of them are helping me

Started work, then took a break

Now the break is my whole day

Pre-Chorus

Every task just multiplies

So I avoid it—very wise

Chorus

I TRIED BEING PRODUCTIVE FOR 5 MINUTES

Now I need a nap as a reward for it

Did one thing, I celebrated

Now my motivation’s evacuated

I tried being productive for 5 minutes

Honestly, I’m kinda proud I did it

If trying counts as victory—

Then I’m winning technically

Bridge

Maybe if I just commit…

Stay on track and not quit…

NOPE—DISTRACTION LEVEL MAX

ONE SMALL TASK TURNS INTO THAT

ANOTHER TAB, ANOTHER BREAK

ANOTHER “I’LL START… TOMORROW” TAKE

Solo

Final Chorus

I TRIED BEING PRODUCTIVE FOR 5 MINUTES

That’s enough, I’ve reached my limit

Did my best (a very small amount)

Now I’m checked completely out

I tried being productive for 5 minutes

Call it growth, I won’t diminish it

Next attempt? We’ll see, depends…

Probably not—let’s not pretend

Outro

Tomorrow… I’ll be productive.

For real this time.

(we both know that’s not true)
