J. Cardim - 9 To 5 lyrics

[Verse One]: 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 sh** I pa**ed my cla**es 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 sh** Till I get paid Yo, let me hold $20 yo [Chorus]: 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 [Verse Two]: I know the deal, yo I'm just like you I am the people I surf the net all day, I.M.ing 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 sh** 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 [Chorus]: 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 sk**, 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, benefits tight Everybody say 9 to 5 What the f** am I sayin' man? {Excerpt from the motion picture Office Space}
