Could of made a living off leases and tenants
I'm making penance
Rise for the sake of attention when niggas listen
Short out
Changing the voltage electabuzz
Could've been a politician
With electrician ambitions
Niggas sell they soul for some benefits and a pension
But no way they could control a descendant of St. Nicholas
I'm gifted
Capitalism
Capitalized
By capturing niggas
We were enslaved
Locked up in chains
How is this different
But look
People are stuck
Especially after all of these taxes that they deduct
My circle all black going back and forth and for what?
We skating on thin ice getting treated like hockey pucks
F*ck
Them niggas got me in a right to work state
Even when I leave early I'm still getting home late
9hrs hours straight only one lunch break
Now I'm eating all day I can't relate
Cnd to think I would be 9 to 6
But I'm smoking weed
Black making beats
9 to 6
Focused on my elevation tryna politic
9 to 6
But I'm smoking weed
Black making beats
9 to 6
Focused on my elevation tryna politic
Look
C little bit of a struggle
I gotta be honest my job was a part of my hustle
I'm fighting for some time off PTO in a scuffle
Work hard around the clock I spend my minutes on muscles
Remember being negative 40 hours a week
C nigga felt stagnant I was reaching my peak
It's hard to hit the studio pushing something unique
When you spreading out data across multiple sheets
Remember they told me your side hustle becomes your main
When you get busy from the work you do and circumstances change
But it's too reckless quitting jobs when you don't know how to maintain
Cmerica's funny right?
They try to hold dominion of your dreams
When you assert you a king
They try to overthrow your reign
I was too busy making tracks for me to get up on the train
This for my people on the day shift, night shift that know my pain
Sacrifices gotta come at an exchange
Cnd to think I would be 9 to 6
But I'm smoking weed
Black making beats
9 to 6
Focused on my elevation tryna politic
9 to 6
But I'm smoking weed
Black making beats
9 to 6
Focused on my elevation tryna politic
Tic Tic Tic Tic Boom
Tic Tic Tic Tic Boom
