Sha Stimuli - 9 To 5 lyrics

What would happen if I shot my boss
Stabbed my supervisor?
Or just showed up at the
Office just wavin' the 45? Would I
Get arrested, laid off or fired?
Would they respect me? Look at my check B
I don't make shit i passed my classes
Just to barely get by and after taxes
My pay is like minimum wage
I keep tellin' myself I should've
Been on the stage but, I'm not though
I'm here on time sometimes
I might take an hours and
A half for lunch time
I take breaks and doze off, compose verses
I done got brain from four broads
That's co-workers
But my boy makes more than me
He think he hotter cause he
Got a couple more degrees
So what you got a lil' masters, a few whips?
I'm like a slave
Yo it's like I can't do shit till I get paid
Yo, let me hold $20 yo

: 9 to 5
My momma said, "Get a 9 to 5"
It's so real huh? 9 to 5
I gotta wake up for my 9 to 5
Momma said I gotta work real hard
Get a good job everybody say 9 to 5
Holla at me, if you know what I mean
I gotta stay clean everybody say 9 to 5

I know the deal, yo I'm just like you
I am the people
I surf the net all day, IMing people
Hittin' up websites, checkin' my Myspace
Talkin' on my pager, got my phone on vibrate
And I write rhymes cause I still got a dream
Head held high cause I still got esteem
I club on the weekend, I spend all my cream
Pop bottles like a baller or so it would seem
Cause on Sunday I'm sad cause I
Know that it's about to be
Monday I'm mad but my mother needs cash
They offer overtime, I try not to laugh
Until they told me I could
Get time and a half
I was sayin' "nah" until I did the math
And that shit made sense
I'll stay till about ten
I could have been riskin' my health
Huggin' the block
But instead I'm here kickin' myself
Punchin' the clock

: 9 to 5
My momma said, "Get a 9 to 5"
It's so real huh? 9 to 5
I gotta wake up for my 9 to 5
Momma said I gotta work real hard
Get a good job everybody say 9 to 5
Holla at me, if you know what I mean
Gotta stay clean everybody say 9 to 5

See it ain't about what I want
It's about what I need it's about that cream
It ain't about my skill, it's about my bills
It's about my seeds
I forgot my love, I forgot my dreams
I forgot about me i'm just tryin' to survive
Everyday I'm workin' 9 to 5

I'm doin' Okay, got my 401K
Everybody say 9 to 5
Holla at me, got my credit gettin' right
Benefit's tight everybody say 9 to 5

What the fuck am I sayin' man?
