9 to 5 (feat. Emilio Lopez)

I kept tellin' myself...

9 To 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryin' to survive

I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and lovin' the life

Picture Emilio clockin' in, cashin' checks

Livin' life as a square, takin' average steps

I can't see that, multi-billionaire, I wanna be that

Bonin' bitches on the beach, tell me where the weed at

Never liked school, college, I don't wanna do that

Niggas told me I was nice, figured that I'd do rap

Still live amongst fiends so I might move that

Swallow pride, 9 to 5, I ain't goin' through that

There's somethin' 'bout knowin' my mother is still workin'

And it's certain that her back hurtin' will probably worsen

That lengthens my hustle, strengthens my struggle

Stackin' up dough 'til the banks are in trouble

So call me a capitalist, consider us savages

Cause we rob and kill to live life's lavishness

A broke mind state will only get me mad

I'd rather be a sugar daddy than a deadbeat dad

No matter how hard it gets, I won't stop 'til I'm gettin' it

I kept tellin' myself...

9 To 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryin' to survive

I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and lovin' the life

No matter how hard it gets, I won't stop 'til I'm livin' it

I kept tellin' myself...

9 To 5 is how you survive, I ain't tryin' to survive

I'm tryin' to live it to the limit and lovin' the life

But check this, gotta have dough to pull a bad bitch

Some cats swish it, others throw a fast pitch

Muhfuckas like me just prefer a fast flip

Life get bigger the bigger the cash get

Cash gets motherfuckers in trouble like ass bets

Past debts put expensive suits in caskets

Cause some cats get gats and blow they gaskets

When it comes to gettin' money, study all the aspects

Assets, liabilities, gotta get business-wise

Labels wanna jerk us, don't get victimized

Records gotta sell so the raps get simplified

But I'm doin' what I gotta long as the chips is high

I know better but I want nice whips and rides

Mansion enhanced with the wife and kids inside

MTV would think the crib's too big and wide

Strive to be rich, always throw a few chips aside

Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow

When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past

Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow

When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past

Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow

When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past

Cause when the money comes slow, life moves slow

When the cash come fast, put your troubles in the past

I used to never really sweat it, now wifey got me fixin' my credit

Cause in the long run, you live to regret it

Then your bank look pathetic, your schedule is hectic

And 9 to 5 is only slavery perfected

As a child, we were livin' off government cheese

As a teen, I was livin' off hustlin' dreams

Nowadays, bein' broke is a fuckin' disease

So I stay clutchin' them Gs and brushin' my sleeves
