hop out the shower i'm late and i gotta get to work its
hourly rate so each minutes gotta purpose
feeling worthless, holding back a morning yawn
its aight though cus i got my favorite jordans on
make a little coffee, breakfast, grab my coat and keys
thinking bout this verse last night that i wrote with ease
funny how most rappers always hope to be as dope as me
but i'm not even mentioned when they focus on local scene
see i'm always back at school, and if i'm home im working
between that and my artwork barely time to fit a verse in
let alone some tweeting, Facebook updates on the weekend
and they wonder why i don't get the approval that i'm seeking
most rappers work the weed sale me im working retail
trynna make some money saving dollars for the details
working nine to five trynna strive for that kinda life
be that kind of guy with a future looking shiny bright

its not minimum wage, but aint that heavy weight
name tag everyday, same drag yesterday
work, work, work

so i'm working  one to nine feeling like my life is undefined
by any one of my plans for life and i wonder why
Most people let their creative minds be always undermined
Not digging deep enough so these golden thoughts go undermined 
I told you for the Hundredth time I'm old enough to stun you blind 
but thats just in my mind man my body can't buy rum or wine
cus i'm still under age and i know that i'm still under paid
until the day i'm on an island somewhere lying under shade
I spend my time in studio industrial designing
In the morning ride the bus and so I bust a couple rhymes in
Hustle just to shine and get nothing for my grind
Still I Love it when my lines let the public see my mind
Rocking jordan fives and some khaki pants no happenstance 
see i’m fresh in half a glance Be the best yeah that's my plan
Life can happen rather fast cant get back whats after passed 
I could die tomorrow but today I'll stand and laugh at chance

its not minimum wage, but aint that heavy weight
name tag everyday, same drag yesterday
work, work, work
its not minimum wage, but aint that heavy weight
name tag everyday, same drag yesterday
work, work, work
