dtc - nine to five lyrics

[verse 1]
look
my adrenaline flowing from the start
step to this mic you can see all of my battle scars
life’s a journey, and sadly we torn apart
i’ll be at rest knowing d+mn well i showed some heart
and from the start i didn’t meet the quota
and cops k!ll us so quickly we can’t get a notice
or recognition for the actions that my brothers taken
we just get blasted y’all expecting us to act so patient
sh+t ain’t changing for the good so i keep on preaching
my mental relapse on life make me feel like i’m dreaming
cause in this world of evil and hate, i keep on breathing
and spitting knowledge in these verses till i feel we even
until then you’ll probably hate me but i keep repeating
a young clone of malcolm x when i start peaking
and if i die before 25 you know the reason
they hate it when a young black man changing like seasons
every goal reached was an mental battle beaten
he always catched his dreams well metaphorically speaking
they wanna see me fail, n+gga i prevail when reaching
and help my city out the struggle with no signs of weakness
it’s our time to be on our grind and start wreaking
havoc on all y’all people that’s feeling undefeated
the shine in my city was way past due
now i’m planted in the middle of it like statues
i blast through, excuse me, usually i follow certain goals
but lately i’ve been on a tangent when i start to flow
with this pen i’m either hitting rock bottom or gold
only i can make that choice and no i don’t plan to fold
no you got me f+cked in many different ways
there’s been too many days where i lived my life the same
now it’s time to change and make a name for myself
and surround my whole family with generational wealth n+gga
[chorus]
yea change right before ya eyes
it ain’t no surprise man i been on my grind
continue spitting knowledge like it was my nine to five, my nine to five, yea n+gga

change right before ya eyes
it ain’t no surprise man i been on my grind
continue spitting knowledge like it was my nine to five
my nine to five

[verse 2]
include the overtime, deep in thought i stay searching
i’m putting all this music out hopefully it’ll be worth it
before they close the curtain and my casket get hit with dirt and debris
i believe that i changed some life’s for certain
influenced a couple people to really start working towards they dream
no matter how far fetched it might seem
if you don’t get off the bench then how the f+ck you gonna make the team, real sh+t
trying to be a legend inside of my city will smith
and inside my area code i’m as fresh as a prince get
on some prince sh+t, don’t repent this
you gotta give credit when credit due like arcades
hence this ain’t the last time you gonna hear of my name
nine to five till i see them bright lights on stage
nine to five till my family don’t got bills to pay
nine to five just tryna to survive and maintain
take it one step at a time, slowly you’ll change n+gga
yea slowly you’ll change, take it one step at a time slowly you’ll change
d+mn we just tryna to see change
[chorus]
yea change right before ya eyes
it ain’t no surprise man i been on my grind
continue spitting knowledge like it was my nine to five
my nine to five, yea n+gga

change right before ya eyes
it ain’t no surprise man i been on my grind
continue spitting knowledge like it was my nine to five, my nine to five
