Lyrics

I was never cut out to work a 9-5

A black man's only job is to stay alive

I try to keep my nose clean but still afford nice things

I'll do anything for a piece of mind

I was never cut out to work a 9-5

A black man's only job is to stay alive

I try to keep my nose clean but still afford nice things

I'll do anything for a piece of mind


I'd do anything to keep mama and them from worrying

But I'd do anything to see Benjamins ask the courier

And, one day I'ma, tell my children stories

Of how I was in the business of providing true euphoria

Stressing out myself it wasn't worth me

Losing my relationship with people I kept closely

Stepping in and out for reasons that I wasn't noticing

The calm before the storm window to my life ain't opening

I hustle for a check that was all I knew

If its legal or illegal every hundred blue

Every trip on 95 I didn't have a clue

If it would end with my regret of going down that route

But, I had learned the pros and cons of workin 9 to 5

I could keep it low until that dotted line signed

So I told myself just keep your head down it'll all be fine

If I could only have one thing in life it'd be my peace of mind


I was never cut out to work a 9-5

A black man's only job is to stay alive

I try to keep my nose clean but still afford nice things

I'll do anything for a piece of mind

I was never cut out to work a 9-5

A black man's only job is to stay alive

I try to keep my nose clean but still afford nice things

I'll do anything for a piece of mind


And I, take my family with me on the cash race

Juan Soto I'ma bring my brothers home to the bag plate

I can't really Judge em if they have hate inside they heart

But they could watch & learn and come get it the fast way

In the jungle made me humble to a certain extent

Still I'm burdened by them numbers with the hungriest scent

Hit for 9 early morning doubled it quick,

Plus a hundred something odds I could show you the slip

I done went back to the basic

Most direct line invasions for these tracks its amazing

I'm, steady running up a tax so I'm saving

Take it back to the basement with the mattress on the pavement nigga

And Lab Rats wasn't even done yet

Was tryin find my flow back after years of money, drugs, sex

Youngest grandson the prophet of the profit

Mixed perspectives since a toddler

It ain't nothin that could stop it


I was never cut out to work a 9-5

A black man's only job is to stay alive

I try to keep my nose clean but still afford nice things

I'll do anything for a piece of mind

I was never cut out to work a 9-5

A black man's only job is to stay alive

I try to keep my nose clean but still afford nice things

I'll do anything for a piece of mind
