lyrics

9 to 5 work the job
5 to 9 work the dream
Cause luxury comes at the cost
Of killing your hopes and your dreams

So what have you done today?
Having some fun today what about work?
Oh after you eat a meal
C’mon man keep it real do the work first

You talk about passion but I don’t see action
Man all I hear’s words
The heck with excuses let’s get up and do this
And put in the work

Nobody’s gonna come and give you opportunities
You gotta take initiative and make the possibilities
To put yourself in a position where you prob’ly will succeed
I’m telling you the facts it doesn’t happen accidentally

Kick in the discipline
Gotta commit to it take a deep breath
Cause everybody livin’ has an option that was given suffer pain of discipline
Or the pain of regret

9 to 5 work the job
5 to 9 work the dream
Cause luxury comes at the cost
Of killing your hopes and your dreams

So who do you want to be?
Someone who gets what they want?
Or one of the losers?
Who makes excuses a lot

And where do you want to be?
On top with the winners?
Or down at the bottom?
In the dumps having lunch with the quitters?

Stop pissing your weekend away
Then complaining how you hate your job
When you won’t even give yourself 10 minutes
Practicing that which you love

Force your physiology
You got to go beyond your body’s limits to accomplish things
You cannot let your mental challenges stop your dream
Everything is hard before it’s easy just start it please!
