(Voicemail Intro)
“Sabyn, it’s Jeff, hit me back!”
Intro
The immaculate ones
DP, SM , JD
Its the remix baby
(Verse)
Stumble outta bed and I tumble to the whip
Hop in and drive for that cup of ambition
Have em throw a couple extras shot up in that drip
And rip the lid off the top, I gotta get on with it...
(Yo!)
This the most important meal of the day
And I’ma need that jolt to get up on my way
For a day that kicking my ass to to-rom-bay
The only way to make it through is think about that pay
I put my nose to the grind stone and get on with it
Long story short I grind, get it
I got mad hustle like you ain’t never seen
You can ask C.I’s, but really they don’t know me
I got the hustle and the muscle
And I hate to burst your bubble
But Im doubly the trouble when it comes to getting money
Back in 1980, babe, they work 9 to 5
But in 2021, yo, Im grinding 9 to 9
(Chorus)
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, 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
(Verse)
Yo yo yo yo...
9 to 5 is how I make it to live
But the 5 to 9 shift is how Im making it ill
And even though I got the day job to pay them bills
Its my after hour hustle where Im getting my thrills
Sitting down with the pen and the paper and the coffee
Writing hit after hit like I'm channeling my Dolly
When i keep it in the lines I don’t even need and audi...
When i get the party started even in the office lobby (yo!)
Im going 9 to 9
And about the time
You calling it a day Im starting my night
I go hard 24/7 shifts at a time
They all fueled by passion, while you fueling on mine (Sing it DP...)
(Bridge)
Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
(A come on, a come on)
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
(Chorus)
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, 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
Verse 3
Oooooo, Weeeeee!!
I know exactly what you mean
I been working my whole life and this is what I see
I been climbing that ladder, working my fingers to the bone
For the man to get rich, while the workers stay broke
(Do what?)
Yo, I call that off way before the engagement
If they house always wins then Im moving my to Vegas
Yeah I make it look easy, but I really ain't playing
When it come to the money Im a hell of a patron
(why’s that?)
Cus the odds always just seem to swing in my favor
Be as mad as you want but I still in your favorites
Damn right I got the pedigree to spark your amazement
Leaving all jaws dropping that’s my basic arrangement
(Break)
Uh, ah, break it down baby yeah, uh, 9 to 5 baby
Yeah, uh, one time baby yeah, come on, 9 to 9 baby
(Chorus)
Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, 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
