Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawnin', stretchin', try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
They let your dream, just watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship 'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn an' it's all gonna roll you away
Workin' 9 to 5 what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life and you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it
And you spend your life putting money in his wallet
Workin' 9 to 5, oh what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use you mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life and you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game, no matter what they call it
I tumble out of bed and i stumble to the kitchen
pour myself a cup of ambition
and yawn and stretch ,trying to come to life
i jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
out on the streets the traffic starts jumping
with folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
(chours)
workin 9 to 5,what a way to make a livin
barley gettin by,it's all takin and no givin
they just use your mind and they never give you credit
it's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
they let you dream just to watch'em shatter
you're just a step on the boss man's ladder
but you've got dreams he'll never take away
you're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
waiting for the day your ship'll come in
the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll you away

Have you been working all day
Does your bills take all your pay
Can you feel me when I say feel like I'm drowning
Well mi tired of stealing
Sick and tired of di pain I'm feeling
Tired of di hate and di war I'm living in
Prophecy revealing
I say guide and protect me Lord
Cah di millions I'm reeling in
Bring a lot a friend but I'm just not feeling him
Claim to be my dawg but I still don't believe in him
Sound too deceiving
And I learn not to trust no man
Cah last sunday evening
Niggas drove by then janice stop breathing
Ain't nothing new it just di bobbing and weaving
Now mama grieving
Lawd know I can take no more
Cah ma woman conceiving
Ain't no place for my kids I'm living in
House with a pool on di hill I'm dreaming in
Ain't got no benjamin
Well that mean I will be sticking around y-y-yeeeeah
Have you ever gave your heart
Just to have it torn apart
If you have you would understand why I'm angry
Zagga zagga zah za
And if you gave your loving heart
And had it thrown against di wall
If you did you would understand why I'm not married
Nuh reason why you gotta be that way
If you wasn't down girl you shouldn't have stayed
Girl I shoulda know this is how you play
What I can I say! I guess it woulda end some day
But did you have to be so cold
Did you really have to take my heart and soul
I wish I had a little more self control
Shoulda been bold
Then I woulda play di daggard role
Girl I use to think your love was true
Cried down my shoulder and I bought that too
Caan believe da gal ya mek mi diss my crew
Neva had a clue but mama saw right through you y-y-yeah
Have you ever had love and affection
Have you ever ever lost your direction
Have you ever had a need for protection
Have you ever had have you ever had
Love and affection

If you have you would understand why I'm angry
Yagga yagga yow yow
And if you gave your love and heart
And had it thrown against di wall
(Lyrics by Dolly Parton)
Jump on outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'n' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just used your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Workin' 9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his pocket
[Chorus x2]
[Lady voice Sample:]
I can tell it must've....
[Jay-Z sample:]
9 to 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it alive
[Emilio Lopez:]
Picture Emilio plotting cashing checks
Living life is a square taking average thefts
I can't see that, multibillionaire, I wanna be that
Fooling bitches on the beach, tell me where the weed at
Never liked school, college, I don't wanna do that
Some niggers told me I was nice thinkin that I do raps
Still live amongst fiends, so I might move that
Swallow pride 9 to 5, I ain't going through to that
[Apathy:]
It's something about knowing my mother is still working
And it's certain that her back hurting, and it'll probably worsen
That lengthens my hustle, strengthens my struggle
Stacking up dough until the banks are in trouble
So call me a capitalist, consider us savages
Cause we rob and kill and live lives lavishness
Broke mind state only get me mad
I rather be a sugar daddy than a deadbeat dad
[Chorus]
[Apathy and Emilio together:]
No matter how hard it gets I won't stop 'til I'm gettin it
[Lady voice Sample:]
I can tell it must've....
[Jay-Z sample:]
9 to 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it alive
[Apathy and Emilio together:]
No matter how hard it gets I won't stop 'til I'm livin it
[Lady voice Sample:]
I can tell it must've....
[Jay-Z sample:]
9 to 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it alive
[Emilio Lopez:]
Check this, gotta have dough to pull a bad bitch
Some cats swish, others throw a fast pitch
Motherfuckers like me, just prefer a fast flip
Life get bigger, the bigger the cash get
[Apathy:]
Cash get, motherfuckers in trouble like asbest
Past depths, put expensive suits in caskets
Cause some cats get gats and blow their ?????
When it comes to getting money, study all the aspects
[Emilio Lopez:]
Assets liabilities, gotta get business wise
Labels wanna jerk us, dont get victimized
Records gotta sell so the raps gets simplified
But I do what I gotta, as long as the chips are high
[Apathy:]
I know better but I want the nice whips and buy
Mansion enhanced with wifey and the kids inside
MTV would think the crib is too big and wide
I strive to be rich, always throw some chips aside
[Chorus]
[Apathy and Emilio together:]
No matter how hard it gets I won't stop 'til I'm gettin it
[Lady voice Sample:]
I can tell it must've....
[Jay-Z sample:]
9 to 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it alive
[Apathy and Emilio together:]
No matter how hard it gets I won't stop 'til I'm livin it
[Lady voice Sample:]
I can tell it must've....
[Jay-Z sample:]
9 to 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it alive
[Bridge x4: Apathy and Emilo Lopez]
Cause when the money comes slow
Life moves slow
When the cash comes fast
Put your troubles in the past
[Apathy:]
I used to never really sweat it, now wifey got me fixing my credit
Cause in the long run, you live to regret it
[Emilio Lopez:]
Then you bank is pathetic, your schedule is hectic
And 9 to 5 is always the state of being perfected
[Apathy:]
As a child we were living off government cheese
[Emilio Lopez]
As a teen I was living off hustlin trees
[Apathy:]
Nowadays being broke is a fucking disease
[Emilio Lopez:]
So I stay clutching them G'z
[Apathy:]
And brushing my sleeves
[Chorus]
[Apathy and Emilio together:]
No matter how hard it gets I won't stop 'til I'm gettin it
[Lady voice Sample:]
I can tell it must've....
[Jay-Z sample:]
9 to 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
I'm tryna live it to the limit and love it alive
[Apathy and Emilio together:]
No matter how hard it gets I won't stop 'til I'm livin it
[Lady voice Sample:]
I can tell it must've....
[Jay-Z sample:]
9 to 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryna survive
[verse 1]
First of all yo gotti represent every thug
Went to school graduated operated with drugs
Had knowledge went to college fucking bitches with all
Up to no good in da hood but to play with my dawg
Been had six figures and that ain't no lie
I was fly class of 2000 at Trezvant High
I had gold like whoa! I just wanted to be
A fucking lawyer but that was to long for me
Never knew I'll rob with the blackout squad
I admit when I was young shit I had a job
That was cool at first but I had to get paid
A 150 dollars a week must think I'ma slave
Maybe that's the reason why niggas been fucking with birds
Got the urge and the nerves to kick a bitch to the curb
I'm bout tied of bitches asking me have I been in love
I'm a human being bitch til I do pump blood
Let the rumor do some shit that a nigga didn't like
When I was young and dumb didn't know wrong from right
My old man telling me young cat walk like
Out of mind out of sight now my head on right
[bridge]
Gotti-ah, gotti-ah, gotti-otti-otti-otti-otti-ah
[chorus x4]
I tried me a 9 to 5 but it'n work
Put my trust in a bitch end up getting nerved
[verse 2]
I was 12 years old in the blistering cold
I didn't want to get a job I want to sell me some more
I didn't want to go to church I wanted to get me some dough
Or a European Chevy with a matching vogue
They say I'm hateful ungrateful cuz I ain't faithful
Good things come and go but I'll miss them later
Tip so niggas know gotti ain't they savior
I'm just trying to fuck all these hoes while I'm able
Big bro in and out the door cutting paper
Lil bro keep them out seen them getting paper
Gotti ask them questions when I seen them at the table
What the fuck is that? and what you doing with that razor?
I'm dead fucking serious
And while he smoking on some dro
And laughing I'm getting more and more furious
Real life experience I seen it first hand
That's why I had to make a plan to get them Benjamins
[bridge]
[chorus x4]
[verse 3]
Nigga block on lock better tuck that shit
Ain't no motherfucker round that can fuck with this
Call nigga when they really won't infecting this
I&E; rap hustlas getting checks for this
How many niggas you know that can go come from above?
Without a bill on the real yeen ain't fucking with us
I be tripping off bitches when they holla at us
With the mind frame they gone get some dollars for us
This a health train come on bitch swallow the nut
And follow it up by getting the fuck off the bus
Catching the cut what don't speak on trust
Don't know what it mean and me speak no English
And me don't work me a thug me no jerk
Back in the day me got my feelings hurt
But never again catch me fucking a friend
Out of touch with yourself as the lies keep building on your shelf
You can see the reflection of the things you do in me
Out of way for you to tell them to give me the time of day
And still you live for free making disbelief
Of the fortune in my name
Did it feel just like it should?
When you pushed us all away
Just to make sure your okay
Your honesty turned to a lie
When we became your 9 to 5
Out of sight for you to live and learn
You've got me thinking you're still sound asleep
Your best in written words, now they're down for all to see
Now you're way too tongue-in-cheek
to make the rest of them believe
Even the blind can see what you do to me
And the fortune in my name
Well, did it feel just like it should?
When you pushed us all away
Just to make sure your okay
Your honesty turned to a lie
When we became your 9 to 5
I won't go out of my way
To hear what you've got to say
We must be doing something right
When we became your 9 to 5
Did it do all the things that you thought it would do?
We're singing we're still alive
Will it do all the things that you thought it would do?
We're singing we're still alive
When you pushed us all away
Just to make sure your okay
Your honesty turned to a lie
When we became your 9 to 5
I won't go out of my way
To hear what you've got to say
We must be doing something right
please select a sense for me
help me stand my pulse
introduce me how to breathe
revolve arround my life
daily identical feelings
I recognize them all
please select an end of mine
what a waste of time
I wish that you could feel
this distance to myself
I guess I dreamt of silence
like whispers in a cage
individual weakness
based on imperfection
indifference as a part of life
I´m sure there´s no return
first-class simulations
please select my past
Am I a replication?
insignificant at last?
remote control from inside
my soul´s a burning room
where do I have to go to die?
first steps even hurt
emotionless I´m waiting
my coldness takes effect
who wants to be a common man?
who wants to be excused?
intentionless decicions
I recognize them all
artificial loneliness
Okay yo
I wake up late every morning
Managers calling, I'm still yawning
Get up, wake up, hair and makeups
Waiting for you, don't be sawing
This performance is important
I don't think I can put my all in
Hold on, I was d**** last night
It was all kicking in and I don't feel right
Gave my number to a breh who wasn't my type
Now my phones on silent, I'm being polite
Now private callers get no love from me
Just let me be
Oh my gosh
My days are getting longer
And there's no turning back
'Cause I'm working a 9 to 5
Just to keep my contract
Did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy, I'm lazy that's all that I can say
So make sure you heard me
And there's no turning back
'Cause I'm working a 9 to 5
So you gotta do sum item for Channel U
Channel who sorry who I'm altered for snooze
Oh, Channel U the ones that made me huge
Like Katie Prices bleam, whoops I'm being rude
Where's my Red Bull and my sandwich?
I need food, I can't handle this
I'm getting pissed like pampers throwing a tantrum
Action
Nah, actually rather catch my Z's
And count sheep in my sleep
Let's not wake her up
She actually looks quite sweet
Oh my gosh
My days are getting longer
And there's no turning back
'Cause I'm working a 9 to 5
Just to keep my contract
Did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy, I'm lazy that's all that I can say
So make sure you heard me
I ain't no early birdy
Won't wake up till 12:30
Could it be bothered to say much ere?
So, oh dear
Huh, where am I man?
This, this ain't good what's going on?
So my label would change my image
I'm a pink lipstick chick called dipstick
This ain't on my wish list
Oh, s*** I'm in FHM posing in a bikini
Next to a Lamborghini
Next stop the theme tune for Tweenies
I'm presenting C-beebies, have you seen me?
Never again, am I drinking Lamborghini
It's alright Sov, it's a dream
Just wake up
Oh my gosh
My days are getting longer
And there's no turning back
'Cause I'm working a 9 to 5
Just to keep my contract
Did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy, I'm lazy that's all that I can say
So make sure you heard me
I ain't no early birdy
Won't wake up to 12:30
And I couldn't be bothered to say much err
So I'll say it again
Oh my gosh
My days are getting longer
And there's no turning back
'Cause I'm working a 9 to 5
Just to keep my contract
Did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy, I'm lazy that's all that I can say
[Midget Verse 1]
Every track that I'm on, beast out the dome
When I'm in the studio, I know that I'm home
I aint no kid, no kidigur I'm grown
So leave me alone, don't call me on the phone
You and your friends out all night
And now I'm your ride home
I'm in the mansion, haters just down size
Midget in the buildin', y'all just out side
I'm tryna see it all through
Close the curtains, peek-a-boo
It's 'bout to get nasty, Beetle Juice
Quit watchin', why don't you haters read it through
Two parts to a story, both of those are me and you
None a dat fake shhh. Stick to the alibi keep it true
6 to 9, 9 to 5, pull up in that fitted ride
Highway 95, one point to the spot mean boy mind ya lie
Tinie light, all night, night shift, night life
That's why I'm...
[Midget Hook x2]
Getting' up in the mornin', get back in the evenin'
Every time I'm in the bank I feel like leavin'
'Cause my pockets got more than subliminal breathin'
Got more green than the Presto's Fruchinni
[Midget Verse 2]
Sunset blvd, vacation all day
Women of my dreams, sleep at the ball game
No second chance, big dreams deflate
Never go home, girl I'm here late
Y'all haters' deaf, I think y'all need a hearing aid
Come to the spot and I'll wait for you all way
Money, money, money, money stacked up in the crawl space
Now I'm like Old Spice
Niño said it's all good
Bring a young son into adulthood
I'm in this 'til the end
The fun will never end
6 to 9, 9 to 5, it's all good in love and war
Some people love the war
Some people hate the war
Some people both, so the dead soldiers ace the floor
[Midget Hook x2]
Getting' up in the mornin', get back in the evenin'
Every time I'm in the bank I feel like leavin'
'Cause my pockets got more than subliminal breathin'
I get lost sometimes
When my work won't grab me
From the pull of the outside world
And there's a song we sing
Leaves us always burning
For them things we've yet to find
We won't stop believing
We'll be young always
We know when it's time
To be working on a twelve pack instead of 9 to 5
And 9 to 5 gives us the fuel for the ride
As we cruise through this life past them speed limit signs
We've seen a few drunken nights and some stories unfold
We've set down the stress and replaced with a brew
Don't quit your day job, but take a few breaks
Not just for sleep or for sanity's sake
But for waters uncharted and the good friends of old
For the love of the ladies, and the bullshit we've sold
Put down them papers, empty those minds
Turn up the music it's time to unwind
I got some time on my side and the world to see
It's just a few of my friends and the song that we sing
Sing it
We won't stop believing
We'll be young always
We know when it's time
To be working on a twelve pack instead of 9 to 5
I am found sometimes
When my reason leaves me
Taken over by the pull of the outside world
And there's a song we sing
Leaves us always yearning
Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn, and stretch, and try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumping
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumping
with folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a living
Barely getting by
Its all taking
And no giving
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
They let your dream
Just to watch em shatter
You’re just a step
On the boss mans a ladder
But you got dream hell never take away
your On the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waiting for the day
Your ship will come in
And the tides gonna turn
An its all gonna roll you away
Working 9 to 5,
For service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss wont seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Working 9 to 5
What a way to make a living
Barely getting by
Its all taking
And no giving
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
Its enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
Working 9 to 5
What up fool?
I thought I was the only motherfucker that felt that
We workin' though
This ain't just no hip clock, cocksucker
Huh huh
Yea, I'm on
Yo yo
I'm smokin' sour, sippin' johnny walker
Thinking I'd probly more hours into kitchenin' than
benny crocker
Money comes and money goes
Plant your tree on the block and see if something grows
Like a rose in the concrete
Clean up the council, we can all eat
This heaven on earth, come elevate to where the gods
meet
Come to the city fool and see the way I'm livin'
The condos and square feet is screamin' lot of engines
'Member we had to hustle by the benches
Thank god we made it out the trenches
With all our 5 senses
And I did her behind fences
Run with us or run against us
My niggas on point like militia
21 guns salute and we don't took these for play
You know we got guns that shoot
And these fellaz needs to fuck to my employment
But I can't let that fuck with my agenda, I can't
afford it (ha ha)
You know I grind for mine
It's the survival of the fit, only the strong survive
(you know?)
I mean I never had it 9 to 5
I want the money and the hoes and nice cars to drive
I mean it's like get out the way, we got to survive
I've got c's to look after, hella bills to pay, ya feel
We gotta hustle every day of our lives
These pretty jobs don't pay enough
That's why I feel this way
Yo I'm in the coupe, the top is off
I'm pickin' up, I'm droppin' off
I'm 'bout to blow the top off like a molotov
High off the mulli and all I can do is sharp it off
Picture me and mickey d's takin' your order
Was on the corner, tryna flip me a 8th to a quarter
And it was all a dream, I struck gold
Right on the block 'cause it ain't all the gleams
I love all the themes, I love all the pushes
We getting all the money, we fuckin' all the bitches
You know that good girls like bad guys and bad guys
like good girls
The bad girls like good guys and the good guys like
good girls
Something to think about before you go to treat it out
You fall into love, meanwhile the dope boys skeetin'
You know that gangstas make the world go 'round
My homie said a couple dollars make your girl go down
so I said
You know I grind for mine
It's the survival of the fit, only the strong survive
(you know?)
I mean I never had it 9 to 5
I want the money and the hoes and nice cars to drive
I mean it's like get out the way, we got to survive
I've got c's to look after, hella bills to pay, ya feel
We gotta hustle every day of our lives
These pretty jobs don't pay enough
That's why I feel this way
I'm 9 to 5, 7 dollars an hour, that's 50 dollars
Now how I'm supposed to live off that? gets in the
projects
Not eatin' steak (not eatin' steak)
Not smokin' great (not smokin' great)
I'd rather hustle (I'd rather hustle), ain't no debate
(all ready)
And trust the old man that closed the gate
And hope they'd rule in my favor if I opposed the state
The worst of times (the worst of times)
The best of times (the best of times)
A few my niggas doin' stretches for the second time
I see the young boy coming up, he makes the lot
Cupped a set of wheels and pulled his shit up right
next to mine
Shine!
You know I grind for mine
It's the survival of the fit, only the strong survive
(you know?)
I mean I never had it 9 to 5
I want the money and the hoes and nice cars to drive
I mean it's like get out the way, we got to survive
I've got c's to look after, hella bills to pay, ya feel
We gotta hustle every day of our lives
These pretty jobs don't pay enough
I tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on a job from nine to five
Working nine to five, what a way to make living
Barely getting by and it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Nine to five for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!
They let you dream just to watch them shatter
You're just a step on the boss man's ladder
But you've got dreams he'll never take away
On the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship will come in
And the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your
Working nine to five, what a way to make living
Barely getting by and it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Nine to five yeah they got you where they want you
There’s a better life and you think about it don’t you
It’s a rich man’s game hah, no matter what they call it
You spend your life going funny if you want it
Working nine to five, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by and it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
I wake up late every morning
Managers calling, I?m still yawning
Get up wake up hair and makeups
Waiting for you don?t be stalling
This performance is important
I don?t think I can put my all in
Hold on I was drunk last night
Now its all kicking in and I don?t feel right
Gave my number to a breh who wasn?t my type
Now my phones on silent, I'm being polite
Private callers get no love from me
Just let me be?
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
So you gotta do some idents for channel U
Channel who? Sorry who im haltered for a snooze
Oh! Channel U da ones that made me huge
Like Katie Prices boobs.
Whoops! I'm being rude
Wheres my red bull and my sandwich? I need food!
I cant handle this,
Im getting pissed like pampers throwing a tantrum
?Action?
Nah, I'd actually rather catch my Z?s and count sheep in my sleep
(Lets not wake her up, she actually looks quite sweet)
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
I'm not sure what day just started,
Since my working week departed,
Ever since I single-charted,
This pursuit's been everlasting.
I clocked in about a year ago,
And I haven't clocked out from the studio,
Videos of TV shows, and staring at the window on the road.
Although sometimes we don't get paid for these rampages on these stages,
I know that I won't get jaded, I won't go back to the minimum wage
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
Oh, punch the clock
Put it on me baby, ain't that much time, oh I
Tic toc, want you to love me like the flowers love the sunlight
Don't stop, oh baby take me and touch me until I pop, ooh
Do that, do that, do that, yeah
Hit that spot like you knew that, yeah
Rock me till I'm clueless, yeah
I'm foolish, yeah
I like when you work me like that, like a 9 to 5
Oh boy, work me like that, make me feel so right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, it's 5 o'clock
I'm comin' home, I'm runnin' home to relieve the tension
Tic toc, boy I need you like hearts and lyrics need a beat
Before we start want you to know that we belong together
Like [Incomprehensible] and baby now get on top
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Do that, do that, do that, yeah
Hit that spot like you knew that, yeah
Rock me till I'm clueless, yeah
I'm foolish, yeah
Work me like that, like a 9 to 5
Oh boy, work me like that, make me feel so right
I'ma make that body feel so good
Make that body feel so good
Make that body feel good, good, good, good
Make my body say ooh, ooh, ooh, oohoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oohoo
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oohoo, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I like when you work me like that, like a 9 to 5
Oh boy, work me like that, make me feel so right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tumble outta bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawnin' and stretchin' and try to come to life
Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the streets
The traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Mmmmm...
They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dream he'll never take away
In the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day
Your ship 'll come in
And the tide's gonna turn
An' it's all gonna roll you away
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Putting money in his wallet
Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'
They just use you mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you
Crazy if you love it
9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it don't you
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
