About This Song

Why Try So Hard? is Track 3 from The Tower and The Street.
This track is the corporate man looking down from the tower. While the retail agent runs after doors, owners, leads, buyers, and weekends, the corporate voice sits at the table where mandates, global clients, and major deals arrive through one quiet call.
It is sarcastic, polished, class-conscious, and intentionally condescending — a corporate villain song about privilege, system power, and boardroom dominance.

Lyrics

Velvet chair, skyline glow
Private jet on standby row
Global kings light up my screen
You chase doors in faded jeans
You burn the street, foot on gas
I sip my drink and watch it pass
You hunt for leads, you beg for signs
One quiet call — the deal is mine
Why try so hard?
Why try so hard?
You bleed for scraps, we own the yard
Why try so hard?
Why try so hard?
Your weekends die, our empires rise
You call it hustle, loud and brave
I call it noise inside a cage
You chase survival, chase the pain
I sign one page and own the chain
Fat mandates fall, affiliate calls
Straight to my desk, I take them all
No midnight screams, no owner lies
No broken hearts, no tears in eyes
You wear your hunger like a crown
I wear the system, never bow down
Work with class, protect the name
Street fire fades — we stay the same
Why try so hard?
Why try so hard?
You bleed for scraps, we own the yard
Why try so hard?
Why try so hard?
Your weekends die, our empires rise
Golf course silence, morning light
One whispered call ends your whole fight
You grind for units, door to door
I move whole towers, floor to floor
Stop running circles, small and loud
Come learn the table, face real power
You break your back for every key
We own the board — we own the fee
Why try so hard?
Why try so hard?
You bleed for scraps, we own the yard
Why try so hard?
Why try so hard?
Your hunger shows… our empire’s already carved
Clock out clean, dinner at nine
You call it privilege, I call it design
The mandate’s signed.
