[Intro]
I’m sick of this school shit
This work shit, just listen man
[Chinx]
I’m sick and tired of just being a slave
Working for this minimum wage ’cause checks get spent in a day
Every two weeks we get once, and usually I get something
Else on the side, I hustle from 9 to 5, yeah
I need them big checks, money with a twin set
To double up on big bets, but for now
We all work, paying tax, watching men get robbed
I ain’t tryna see myself working dead-end jobs
Plus, I got a boss that I want to get shot
Always on my ass, staring in the hallway when I pass
To make shit worse, I gotta make it to class
Exams to pass, learning what a man should have
But it’s kinda hard ’cause my plans are banned
So I’m stuck in the streets selling grams in bags
Fuck, I gotta make it out or drop a hot joint
‘Cause if it ain’t about large money then what’s the point, right
[Chorus x 2 – scratching]
“Everyday my life be hectic and stressful”
“9 to 5 is how you survive”
“Another day, another dollar”
“I gotta get mine, I gotta get cash”
“No doubt”
[T-West]
The work shift’s seeming longer, I’m watching the clock ticking
In the background, sat down, she won’t stop bitching
Listen kid, do this, and hey kid, do that
Never up, no wonder why her ass so flat
Hate the stress of a shitty wage, I break bones
For pennies, my body is the victim of a slave
High pay, really, where
I’m dropping my whole paychecks just to cover my busfare
Even the employees are jerks
I refuse to clean toilets so they wipe crap on my shirts
And this stuff got me hating this work so it’s truth
When I’m saying, not playing, that I’m working for shit
Woman been on my dick for long
This manager keep talking and saying that I’m doing it wrong
And how’s she gonna diss my direction, this girl is so fat
When she walks, you’d think that she two-stepping
[Chorus x 2 – scratching]
“Everyday my life be hectic and stressful”
“9 to 5 is how you survive”
“Another day, another dollar”
“I gotta get mine, I gotta get cash”
“No doubt”
[FenaxiZ]
Signed in five mins ‘fore the start of my shift
Flashed the card on my hip, security guard on my dick
‘Bout I can’t go down the elevator, gotta take the stairs
Fuck’s his problem, he probably ain’t been laid in years
I’m late and here’s my manager yelling, “Boy, get dressed”
I said yes, but if he keeps showing me disrespect
Then I’ma go Dead Prez and Stic the Man with an M-1
Spit’s definitely gonna hit the fan (fuck outta here)
Feel like shit, but damn, already used all my sick days
Bruised from the drink trays abusing my ribcage
No time to have a life, record mixtapes, or lift weights
What’s worse is my net pay’s lower than my shit grades
A big raise, nah, I’d be lucky if they bumped me
To the first floor where my sales are worth more
‘Cause Jenn’s shortchanging my commission and tips
Even need permission to piss, I can’t keep living like this
[Chorus x 3 – scratching]
“Everyday my life be hectic and stressful”
“9 to 5 is how you survive”
“Another day, another dollar”
“I gotta get mine, I gotta get cash”
“No doubt”
