[Intro]
I had to start this shit off right
This- This only feels right
[Chorus]
Listen young man, I’m a 9 to 5 job
Follow me now, forget the 9 to 5 probs
I’ma take your money ‘cause 9 to 5’s rob
Your dream chasing ‘cause you’re facing 9 to 5 odds
[Verse 1]
Sitting in college asking why am I here
I’ma be the biggest name in the game in a year
They teaching me to work a 9 to 5 and damn it, it’s is clear
I been on my own wave and nobody is near
I got the highest IQ, so don’t nobody try to
Disrespect me and say I am stupid, that is not true
I got the will and skills to do what I want to
Professors listen to the legends saying “that is not you”
But it will be, I’m filthy, hop on the mic and kill things
It takes a lot of timе and money to get wherе I’m building
You ill thing, you still think I’m joking, this a real thing
You trynna dumb me down, but I’m stronger, hear my will speak
You teaching 9 to 5 bullshit to the wrong person
You get a big bag, but still mad, I hope it’s worth it
You trynna keep the youth down, but it’s not working
Nobody tell me the type of job that I’m deserving
[Chorus]
Listen young man, I’m a 9 to 5 job
Follow me now, forget the 9 to 5 probs
I’ma take your money ‘cause 9 to 5’s rob
Your dream chasing ‘cause you’re facing 9 to 5 odds
Listen young man, I’m a 9 to 5 job
Follow me now, forget the 9 to 5 probs
I’ma take your money ‘cause 9 to 5’s rob
Your dream chasing ‘cause you’re facing 9 to 5 odds
[Verse 2]
They tried to teach me how to get by in a cubicle
But I don’t want that, I wanna own the whole office
‘Cause all around me I just see that people hate their jobs
So I’ve decided that I am gonna be an artist
They ask me how I plan, I said “‘cause I’m the man”
They didn’t understand, oh they’ll never understand
They said I should go to school and take some more classes
But that shit’s like a job to me, I’m tired of kissing asses
I was always in AP for no reason
Man, I knew I’d never use the shit that they teaching
Middle is the only class that they preaching
Can’t wait to tell my advisor that I’m leaving
I started my career when I was sixteen
I like to get no sleep and have a sick dream
Professors asking me, you think you’re a big thing
Then I show ‘em the streams like bitch please
[Chorus]
Listen young man, I’m a 9 to 5 job
Follow me now, forget the 9 to 5 probs
I’ma take your money ‘cause 9 to 5’s rob
Your dream chasing ‘cause you’re facing 9 to 5 odds
Listen young man, I’m a 9 to 5 job
Follow me now, forget the 9 to 5 probs
I’ma take your money ‘cause 9 to 5’s rob
Your dream chasing ‘cause you’re facing 9 to 5 odds
[Verse 3]
9 to 5 too generous, lemme fix that
There’s almost no way you can make it out this big trap
This shit is big trash, and I won’t sit back
I support the dreamers, let’s give ‘em their dick back
“You supposed to work at Jewel, smoking Juuls”
But I got the jewels in my mind, only gems when I rhyme
“Tegan, you think you’re good as Jay or Kanye”
I’m in my prime, they behind me in line
If you don’t believe that you’re the one on the throne
You can’t blame it on the lack of information you know
‘Cause you know how to find X, but you cannot tell me why
And that’s the saddest thing, that’s why I’m excited to blow
“Oh, there go Pres hating on us
Because he ain’t using anything we taught him”
I learned how to make money on YouTube
And you fools really ain’t ever taught me shit that I still use
[Chorus]
Listen young man, I’m a 9 to 5 job
Follow me now, forget the 9 to 5 probs
I’ma take your money ‘cause 9 to 5’s rob
Your dream chasing ‘cause you’re facing 9 to 5 odds
Listen young man, I’m a 9 to 5 job
Follow me now, forget the 9 to 5 probs
I’ma take your money ‘cause 9 to 5’s rob
Your dream chasing ‘cause you’re facing 9 to 5 odds
[Outro]
