I kept tellin' myself...
9 To 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryin' to survive
I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and lovin' the life
Picture Emilio clockin' in, cashin' checks
Livin' life as a square, takin' average steps
I can't see that, multi-billionaire, I wanna be that
Bonin' bitches on the beach, tell me where the weed at
Never liked school, college, I don't wanna do that
Niggas told me I was nice, figured that I'd do rap
Still live amongst fiends so I might move that
Swallow pride, 9 to 5, I ain't goin' through that
There's somethin' 'bout knowin' my mother is still workin'
And it's certain that her back hurtin' will probably worsen
That lengthens my hustle, strengthens my struggle
Stackin' up dough 'til the banks are in trouble
So call me a capitalist, consider us savages
Cause we rob and kill to live life's lavishness
A broke mind state will only get me mad
I'd rather be a sugar daddy than a deadbeat dad
No matter how hard it gets, I won't stop 'til I'm gettin' it
I kept tellin' myself...
9 To 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryin' to survive
I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and lovin' the life
No matter how hard it gets, I won't stop 'til I'm livin' it
I kept tellin' myself...
9 To 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryin' to survive
I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and lovin' the life
But check this, gotta have dough to pull a bad bitch
Some cats swish it, others throw a fast pitch
Muhfuckas like me just prefer a fast flip
Life get bigger the bigger the cash get
Cash gets motherfuckers in trouble like ass bets
Past debts put expensive suits in caskets
Cause some cats get gats and blow they gaskets
When it comes to gettin' money, study all the aspects
Assets, liabilities, gotta get business-wise
Labels wanna jerk us, don't get victimized
Records gotta sell so the raps get simplified
But I'm doin' what I gotta long as the chips is high
I know better but I want nice whips and rides
Mansion enhanced with the wife and kids inside
MTV would think the crib's too big and wide
Strive to be rich, always throw a few chips aside
Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow
When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past
Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow
When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past
Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow
When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past
Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow
When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past
I used to never really sweat it, now wifey got me fixin' my credit
Cause in the long run, you live to regret it
Then your bank look pathetic, your schedule is hectic
And 9 to 5 is only slavery perfected
As a child, we were livin' off government cheese
As a teen, I was livin' off hustlin' dreams
Nowadays, bein' broke is a fuckin' disease
So I stay clutchin' them Gs and brushin' my sleeves
