"Nine To Five" lyrics

Yeah

Work that 9 to 5
Born and then you die
Work that 9 to 5
Trapped inside the hive
Work that 9 to 5
Never felt alive
Work that 9 to 5
Born and then you die, whoa

I was doin' that shit
Workin' 9 to 5
Just to get a lil bit
Then I found my drive
I was workin' on the roads
I was pavin' the streets
Had to pick up the loans
They were bringin' the heat
Couple months in
Then I broke my ribs
Life lookin' slim
I was broke in my crib
Livin' kinda sucky
So I went with my gut
Then I got a little lucky
I got out of the rut

Work that 9 to 5
Born and then you die
Work that 9 to 5
Trapped inside the hive
Work that 9 to 5
Never felt alive
Work that 9 to 5
Born and then you die, whoa

I'm a free man, now
Only work for myself
Everybody say how
Put the book on the shelf
"It ain't all about the paper"
Only ninety percent
You be cashin' that check
Can't even cover the rent
The world said no
But my bank said yes
My income grows
And you're income-less
If money is a sin
Then I need to repent
Really feelin' the wind
Got my name in cement

Work that 9 to 5
Born and then you die
Work that 9 to 5
Trapped inside the hive
Work that 9 to 5
Never felt alive
Work that 9 to 5
Born and then you die, oh
