The ILL-HAN - Elevator

It happens to all of us
We got our day planned like any other
Got to get to work
I'm in a rush
Grab the car key
Or my ticket for the bus
Adjust my routine
before 7 leave the crib I must
Trust
Have to avoid any traffic jams
Cause staying stationary isn't part of my plan
Oh damn
I got a 3 minute delay
Which means for the meeting
I'll be 10 minutes late
Ok
Instead of a 100 I drove a 105
That made a difference now
At my destination I arrive
Park the car
Grab my bag
Double check my jacket pockets
For belongings
Like my card
Oh it's in the car
Yes
Got 2 minutes till they start
The lift is in the parking lot
Guess I will arrive right on the dot
Learn to relax I must
Cause this is crazy
What I worry about
When I'm in a rush
Like this
I'm in an elevator
Tryin to push the button
But it won't go
Oh
Why are these doors not closing
(Why are these doors not closing)
I'm in an elevator
Tryin to make it to the top
But it won't go
Oh
Why are the doors staying open
(Why are the doors staying open)
A new day
The same thing
Hear the alarms ring
Avoid the snooze
So after work
I can hit the gym
Jump in the shower
And I sing
A little too long
I'm bummed
No more coffee for me
I wasted time son
I will eat when I'm driving
I guess I don't mind it
I'm looking for Tupperware
But I can't find it
Fuck it
I gotta go
Shoes jacket bag
Where's the car at?
It's nearby but it's cold
Hold up
I see my window froze
I heat the car first
Before I start to scrape
Techniques to minimize delay
I hate it when I'm late
For every second lost
I try to gain a minute
Fighting time in my own way
Oh wait
This traffic on a Tuesday sucks
I'm grumpy rather than feeling
Like a million bucks
0 fucks given by this prick to my right
I feel the anger rising
Imagining I will fight him
But that won't happen
Let me clear my mind
Rap along a song of mine
Driving makes the time fly by
Arrived
At the office parking lot
I clock a spot but missed a turn
And now a Volvo got there first
Wow
It's that fucker from before
Maybe its a colleague
And he works on the same floor
(Huh)
I beat him to the elevator
Avoid confrontation
Push the button quickly
Cause I don't want a situation like
I'm in an elevator
Tryin to push the button
But it wont go
Oh
Why are these doors not closing
(Why are these doors not closing)
I'm in an elevator
Tryin to make it to the top
But it wont go
Oh
Why are the doors staying open
(Why are the doors staying open)
Life is incredible
And works in different ways
Maybe it is fate
Even though you thought
You fell astray
For all the forks in the roads
Lines in the sands
So can the good
Like the bad
Drop on you unplanned
Today reminds me of a song by 2pac
You got to keep ya head up
And as I did I heard a voice say
Wait up
She walked in
Our eyes locked and we froze
We rose to the next level
As those elevator doors closed
I'm in the elevator
Trying to the push the button when I heard her say
Hey
So I held those doors open
We're in the elevator
Staring into each others eyes
Then I say
Hey
As the doors started closing
