9 To 5

I wake up late every morning
Managers calling, I'm still yawning
Get up wake up hair and makeups
Waiting for you don't be stalling
This performance is important
I don't think I can put my all in
Hold on I was drunk last night
Now its all kicking in and I don't feel right
Gave my number to a breh who wasn't my type
Now my phones on silent, I'm being polite
Private callers get no love from me
Just let me be…
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
So you gotta do some idents for channel U
Channel who? Sorry who im haltered for a snooze
Oh! Channel U da ones that made me huge
Like Katie Prices boobs.
Whoops! I'm being rude
Wheres my red bull and my sandwich? I need food!
I cant handle this,
Im getting pissed like pampers throwing a tantrum
"Action"
Nah, I'd actually rather catch my Z's and count sheep in my sleep
(Lets not wake her up, she actually looks quite sweet)
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
I'm not sure what day just started,
Since my working week departed,
Ever since I single-charted,
This pursuit's been everlasting.
I clocked in about a year ago,
And I haven't clocked out from the studio,
Videos of TV shows, and staring at the window on the road.
Although sometimes we don't get paid for these rampages on these stages,
I know that I won't get jaded, I won't go back to the minimum wage
Oh my Gosh, my days are getting longer
And theres no turning back im working the 9 to 5
To keep my contract did I say 9? I meant 1:30
I ain't no early birdy I'm working a 9 to 5
La, la, la, la....
La, la, la, la....
