The Perceptionists, Phonte - 5 O'Clock lyrics
[The Perceptionists, Phonte - 5 O'Clock lyrics]
Now this is dedicated to that
Little piece of mind
That you find everyday when you
Leave your daily grind (The time is 5 pm and
Now you leaving your cubicle
It's daylight savings time and
The weather is beautiful)
Suitable to chill and breathe
A sigh of relief
At last the day is yours for
You to do as you please
(yeah, you feel the breeze even
When the traffic is crammed
Because you on your way home
And bumping your favorite jam)
So you run into your crib and
Then you lock your door
Zoning out, listening to records galore
(Looking for some Perceptionists
Maybe some Jill Scott
But no matter what you checking
The selection's real hot)
Here's the plot, give it everything you got
Make moves, then your life will truly improve
(Now you thinking 'bout the hours that
You put in for them
And surpassing them for delf
Cause that's the real gem)
Here's an idea, think to yourself "yeah
This is my year"
Now perceive with your mind clear
All those things you're saying you
Would do in the past make them daily tasks
So those bright ideas won't last
It's 5 o'clock and I'm finally free
(It's my time to shine, my time to be)
I spent the whole damn day working for you
Now it's time to do something for me
I just can't wait, to get on home
Away from you and be all alone
Turn off the TV and put off the phone
Cause it's 5 o'clock
Now everybody sing along
Baba, da baba, baba, da baba
Baba, da baba, baba, da baba
Now you understand that you your
Own woman or man
Because you broke it down to
A simple four step plan
(Step 1, sit and make a plan son)
Step 2, make time for you, boo
(Step 3) TURN OFF YOUR MOTHERFUCKING TV!
All the sudden
There's so much of the world to see
And step 4 is to explore your
Options and get it popping
To get in the game instead of just watching
Entrepreneurial maneuvers, self investment
That's the shit, I can't contest it
(If you ain't doing what you love doing
You're losing
Security's illusion created by institution
To keep us moving to the job
Bank and the store
A commonly accepted thus perpetuated war)
And if what you waiting for is
Opportunity to knock at your door
Then step it up
'cause it ain't like that no more
(Sure, you can sit at home, rotting away
But in your heart I know you
Feel there's something missing everyday)
But all that matters to you now
Is you off the clock
Yo this weekend's going to be
Off the ROCKER son! (yeah son)
It's 5 O'clock and I'm finally free
It's my time to shine, my time to be
I spent the whole damn day workin for you
Now it's time to do something for me
Now it's time to do something for me
(baba, da baba)
Now it's time to do something for me
(baba, da baba) i done spent the whole damn
Day working for you (baba, da baba)
Now it's time to do something for me
(baba, da baba)
I just can't wait, to get on home
Away from you and be all alone
Turn off the TV and put off the phone
Cause it's 5 O'clock
Now everybody sing along baba, da baba
Baba, da baba baba, da baba
Cause it's 5 O'clock
Now everybody sing along
Baba, da baba (woooooo)
Baba, da baba (sing it again) baba, da baba
Cause it's 5 O'clock
Now everybody sing along (baba, da baba)
