| This 9 to 5 don’t pay to live
|
| 9 to 5, pay to survive
|
| I’m tryna to do way more than survive
|
| The average job ain’t made for the average man to survive
|
| You either rich or lost if you ain’t feelin' this vibe
|
| Shit I’m tired
|
| Of slinging this
|
| And slinging that
|
| Man I’m tired
|
| Of folding this, and
|
| Folding that
|
| And doing shit, for a bullshit company holding me back
|
| When lord knows, I’m supposed to be, singing these raps
|
| I ain’t trying to miss my calling
|
| But the damn rents due, and they need all of it
|
| Plus I gotta pay this car, no
|
| And if I don’t
|
| How you suppose I’m getting to my next dollar
|
| I guess I’ll hollar
|
| Yep I gotta
|
| Get to it
|
| Flip, move it
|
| Just do it
|
| All I can do is invest in me
|
| Till I get through it. |
| Clock don’t stop, I gotta move it
|
| I got a dream, and I can’t lose it
|
| Don’t wanna sell another shirt
|
| Don’t wanna sell another shoe
|
| Don’t wanna sell another coffee
|
| Or sell another tea
|
| Don’t wanna sell another G or another O. Z
|
| Cause believe me it’s all the same thing
|
| And I don’t wanna trap no more
|
| No, ayy
|
| I don’t wanna trap no more
|
| No more
|
| Uhn
|
| I just wanna live my motherfucking dream
|
| Rocking mics in crowds
|
| Spreading positive vibes with my team
|
| Bringing the world together to dance to one beat
|
| Bringing our souls together with one poetic speech
|
| Like all we really need
|
| Is knowledge and unity
|
| But everybody caught up on this motherfucking money
|
| The ones who have it are trapped, by their fear of losing it
|
| The ones without it are willing to sell their souls just to get to it
|
| I guess I’m in the middle, tryna stay afloat
|
| Nigga the brainwaves tryna rock my boat
|
| Till I make it and shit
|
| Or I make it a ship
|
| And I take the main wave to where I’m tryna get
|
| Feel like I’m out in the sea
|
| And it’s just making me sick
|
| All the shit that I see
|
| That’s why I can’t slip
|
| If you ain’t living your dream
|
| Well then you trapped in the fake shit
|
| Working to pay a bill?
|
| Ya you trapped in the matrix, and it hurts me to say this |
