[Intro]
Light n***a, dark n***a, faux n***a, real n***a
Boy
What time is it?
Rich n***a, poor n***a, house n***a, field n***a
Its time for some dayshift
You dig?
Hey
Light n***a, dark n***a, faux n***a, real n***a
Rich n***a, poor n***a, house n***a, field n***a
Hey

[Chorus]
I'm on my day shift
9 to 5 to me
Sound like some slave shit
12 pull me over
I don't say shit
We don't need no chains
Fuck your slave ships
I'm on my day shift
9 to 5 to me
Sound like some slave shit
Cop pull me over
I don't say shit
We don't need the chains
Fuck your slave shit
[Verse 1]
I'm on my day shift
I put the grind to the max
I'm on my day shift
I don't know how to relax
I'm on my day shift
I put the grind to the max
I'm on my day shift
And I don't know how to relax
Paint the perfect picture like Kodak and you get it
Young gees treat me likе OG's in the eighties
Mama was a hustlеr, didn't raise no dummies
So I got grind till my name up in the Forbes list
Young n***a, came up from the bottom to the top list
Record after record told my label, they should publish
Keep the same energy when you see me out in public
Focus on my shit ain't got time for the dumb shit
Life's game, get the dice so we roll
Can't trust nothing, except the money in my pocket
Turned to a beast
When my dad kicked the bucket
Had to get me a plug, I didn't need a socket
12 on my ass like clowns up in a circus
Stay dedicated, they tryna fuck up my focus
Woah they tryna fuck up my focus
Stay dedicated they tryna fuck up your focus
[Chorus]
I'm on my day shift
9 to 5 to me
Sound like some slave shit
12 pull me over
I don't say shit
We don't need no chains
Fuck your slave ships
I'm on my day shift
9 to 5 to me
Sound like some slave shit
Cop pull me over
I don't say shit
We don't need the chains
Fuck your slave shit
I'm on my day shift

[Verse 2]
I'm on my day shift
My n***as playing the keys
Ain't talking Alicia
They make the thing squeeze
Run up your house
They just make it smell like reefer
Blow that thing like ether
Grinding on a low, four weeks, ah
Dealing with the demons and seizures
Thank Jesus
[Outro]
Light n***a, dark n***a, faux n***a, real n***a
Rich n***a, poor n***a, house n***a, field n***a
Light n***a, dark n***a, faux n***a, real n***a
Rich n***a, poor n***a, house n***a, field n***a
Light n***a, dark n***a, faux n***a, real n***a
Rich n***a, poor n***a, house n***a, field n***a
