Five to Nine (feat. Edword)

VERSE 1

Alarm bells cos rungs are missing from this corporate ladder

A 12 step program for culprits that are

Just Moths addicted to this juicy darkness called the limelight

Yes you shine bright but do you shine right?

Do your dreams give you peace when you hit the mattress

Or do they crush diamonds just so you can access

Bigger bank accounts with fat amounts

Only to cash reality checks that bounce

Waiting to pounce on every small business and suck the juice out their fruit of labour

With deals that are only good on paper

Promises emptier than office spaces in marina

Same goes for most of our bellies food for thought is dinner

Summer body loading for some but Somadina

These are the confessions of the saintly white collar sinners

Spare a thought for the nameless workers who’s lives are caught up in it

HOOK

Everyday on the streets trying to make that paper

(You and I, you and I)

We wan make ends meet, we wan build skyscrapers

(You and I, you and I)

Shey na 9-5 or 5-9?

We no know but we still dey grind

And traffic still dey make us burn up like vapours

All na make dem no talk say we lazy o

VERSE 2

I rep for the working class- yeah those people

The most docile of society yet the most lethal

If they ever chose to rise there would be a revolution with no equal

But settle for resolutions so feeble Breaking their backs to send their kids to a grade A College

looking fresh- only to gain stale knowledge

Didn’t learn a thing from it, pay bills pay homage regurgitate and repeat dog eats the same vomit

I can relate because I came from it

Parents Bruise their kids for drawing superheroes yet it’s the parents who became comics

Backbreaking mistakes are our bane but then

Where there’s a will there’s a wayne call it a Pain Project

Where there’s a will there’s a chair call it a lame subject

Or Call it whatever just bob it for some Kane profit

You’re next to bat man so make sure the Kings prophets

And people remember you- now go forth and create something incredible be unforgettable
