[Chorus]
Hard to follow my dreams workin' this 9 to 5
People keep tellin' me my check is on the way
So sun up to sundown, I'm grindin', tryin to make it by
Prayin' for my shift to come and take away the pain
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this, finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this
[Verse 1]
No, no I won't settle for nothing less than the air that I breathe
I-I-I know it's a struggle, but who the hell g'on do it for me?
Who the hell g'on do it free?
If I don't get up and bust my ass, that's my motto
I can't put my faith in the lotto
Luck don't stay nowhere near where I go
Unless you ride that muthafucka
And you be lucky enough to get away, in the grave
What can I do, what can I say, I tried to get paid
But I got grazed, the bullet went through
But I ain't get paid
Now what do I appreciate? My J-O-B
Hey boss, I'm comin' in late
[Chorus]
Hard to follow my dreams workin' this 9 to 5
People keep tellin' me my check is on the way
So sun up to sundown, I'm grindin', tryin to make it by
Prayin' for my shift to come and take away the pain
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this, finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this
[Verse 2]
Lil' cousin got it right?
And bike without no frame, ride the same rides without no brain?
Life ain't life, without no shame
If I make it out the hood, damn right I'm gon' change
My cell phone number
But the area code still gon' be 305 tho
My friends, who was my friends just like my kin?
Walked e'm in model?
But please wipe your feet on the rug
You can keep your shoes on, it's all love
Boy, let me stop, I'm dreamin' too much, now who the hell
'Gon give up a million bucks
Nobody but God, right now I could use me one of them black cards
I'm scarred, I fell apart, I came here with stars, its hard huh?
[Chorus]
Hard to follow my dreams workin' this 9 to 5
People keep tellin' me my check is on the way
So sun up to sundown, I'm grindin', tryin to make it by
Prayin' for my shift to come and take away the pain
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this, finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this
[Verse 3]
F-F-F-Findin me
That day I been tryin' to reach, that pay I been dyin' to see
Boy them folk wouldn't lie to me
I thought money ain't grow on trees
Depends on the roots, how you plant that seed
They quit, you can't see no leaves
Hold up, I need my Versace's
Grace covers of magazines, my mother she proud of me
Myself, I, the one who the haters thought wasn't gon' be shit
Big yachts, every day I get seasick, I was broke, the prefix
My book say "Why y'all gave that n***a some cash?"
I wrote a song about it, wanna hear it? here it goes
[Chorus]
Hard to follow my dreams workin' this 9 to 5
People keep tellin' me my check is on the way
So sun up to sundown, I'm grindin', tryin to make it by
Prayin' for my shift to come and take away the pain
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this, finally here
That day is finally here
That day is finally here
New shoes, new clothes, new whip, new chain
New wrist, knew that, knew this
