They was tryna to find a nine to five for me
That was always nine minus five to me
That was always nine minus grind to me
That was always nine minus time
It's been mail route, warehouse, suit and tie for me
Cause on the corporate ladder ain't no climb for me
That was always time minus grind to me
That was always time minus time

From W Twos to Ten Ninety Nines
To learning how tech goes, learning these tech codes
Try wrapping my brain around working a schedule
Hourly rate lock, permanent threshold
Salary pays top, working a desk role
Splurging on dress clothes, Certain for dress code
We couldn't sit straight, we turned into pretzels
Using my sick pay for purging this chest cold
Discriminate pay, but we live for the day
Raffle tickets for J's, making minimum wage
Our performance is shown, without a cinema stage
The claim they don't discriminate, religion and race
And they only give us 8 hours, to make a way out of
The day-to-day round-up, to make the pay count up
And what they take out, wasn't what the payout was
Such a breakdown doesn't seem to payout much
Now you're living out of your means
Three-day weekend, now you're living out your dreams
Self-care spend it all, now you're living out ya memes
I want health and wealth you can't live without your greens
We keep giving out our peace
And we garner they garnish, it's hard to take profit
Shifts before and after on that holiday lock-in
We barely enjoy, man I'm barely employed
We ain't exempt from fire, they ain't direct when you temp to hire

I'm sorry I got your call late
I ain't even mean to call late
Can I hit you when I'm on break
Can hit you on my off day

You got a first-class ticket to a day job
They gone nullify it if you take drugs
Shorty verify you by your pay stub
Building an empire that we can't touch
You got a first-class ticket to a great job
Barely make enough to take vaca
They tell you it's an ocean, it's a great lake
