9-5

Yeah
Had to cut some people off
Remove the dead weight
Needed a new head space
Ever since the 10th grade
Knew it was time
(Knew it was time)
Knew it was time to trail blaze
Couldn't see me
Working 40 years
For a pale face
Motherfuck a 9-5
Just looking to maximize yeah
Motherfuck a 9-5
Just looking to maximize yeah

You won't catch me
Taking orders
Ain't no company extortion
Or no check to check living
Less Nike giving inducements
If it's not a partnership
Than I can't make you a fortune
Cant be out giving labor
And you come back
With a portion?
Naw
Too much ambition
And you match that with a vision
Of changing the landscape
For my great grand children
And you gota young man
Who not giving to the system
When all they ever did was
Pimp out all civilians
And I can't follow that
Can't honor that
Need my life Ghetto Fabulous
Younging holla back
Work on happiness before
You work for someone else
A gig is only meant for funding dreams
And nothing else that's why I had to

Yeah had cut some people off
Remove the dead weight
Needed a new head space
Ever since the 10th grade
Knew it was time (Knew it was time)
Knew it was time to trail blaze
Couldn't see me working 40 years
For a pale face
Motherfuck a 9-5
Just looking to maximize yeah
Motherfuck a 9-5
Just looking to maximize yeah

Some work they're whole lives
Till they pensioned
Paying taxes to they masters
But don't pay attention
Only give a few days to try to get a trip in
Give a 50 cent raise like
It's gone make a difference
What's the power of dollar?
Is it the reason for agreeing to ya 40 hours
Pay get date rape
Now ya face sour
Company may replace if troubles towers
I tried to bite the bullet
But my soul won't just allow it
Man miss me with that same time
Monday through Friday
Traffic on the highway
Miss time on holidays
10 hour shift but you only give an hour break
Talk down smile in face
Now all these things can happen
In any profession (Any profession)
But working just for bread
Had taught me a lesson
It ain't bout the money dawg
Focus on your psyche
Having a C-Note Don't always mean
It's the right key
That's why I

Had to cut some people off
Remove the dead weight
Needed a new head space
Ever since the 10th grade
Knew it was time (Knew it was time)
Knew it was time to trail blaze
Couldn't see me working 40 years
For a pale face
Motherfuck a 9-5
Just looking to maximize yeah
Motherfuck a 9-5
Just looking to maximize yeah
