No 9 to 5
Breaking Chains: Escaping the 9-5 Struggle
Lyrics
Sitting here on this Tuesday at work
Sitting at work on a Tuesday, feeling discontent
So tired and stressed out
Feeling exhausted and stressed
Wishing I could be anywhere but here (Lord can you help now)
Wishing to be anywhere else, seeking divine help
Living my dreams, and doing my thing
Pursuing personal dreams and passions
So much pain I can't explain
Experiencing unexplained pain
I'm fed up
Fed up with the current situation
I wasn't born for this 9-5 life
Rejecting the conventional 9-5 lifestyle
Whenever I'm here I wanna cry
Feeling emotional distress when at work
Oh let me tell you now
Expressing discontent and frustration
I don't fit in at all
Not fitting into the societal norms
The money you can keep it all
Disregarding the importance of money
It just ain't what I wanna do
Rejecting a career that doesn't align with personal desires
Lord I don't want No 9-5
Desiring a life free from a 9-5 job
I'm dying a slow death
Feeling a gradual deterioration of well-being
Rotting away watching time pass
Wasting away, observing time passing by
My dreams just fading away and my soul won't rest
Seeing dreams fade away, struggling spiritually
What's a retirement check (Ain't nothing)
Questioning the value of a retirement check
When you can't get it how you want it?
Frustration when desires are unmet
I'm walking round looking so angry
Projecting anger outwardly
Lord get me outa here
Pleading to be removed from the current situation
I'm so fed up (Whoo)
Continuing frustration
I wasn't born for this 9-5 life
Reiterating the unsuitability for a 9-5 lifestyle
Whenever I'm here I wanna cry
Expressing emotional distress while at work
Oh let me tell you now
Reiterating discontent
I don't fit in at all (Ooh no)
Not feeling a sense of belonging
The money you can keep it all
Dismissing the importance of money
It just ain't what I wanna do
Rejecting activities that are not aligned with personal aspirations
Lord I don't want No 9-5
Desiring a life without a 9-5 job
Fighting everyday to keep my faith strong (Ooh)
Struggling daily to maintain faith
God I believe everything you told me (Yes I do)
Expressing unwavering belief in divine guidance
Doing what you love, that's a dream job
Believing that pursuing one's passion is an ideal job
And ima keep trying, keep on trying, keep on trying
Determined to persist in pursuing dreams
I just can't be normal (Noo)
Rejecting conformity and normalcy
I wasn't born for this 9-5 life (No 9-5)
Reiterating unsuitability for a 9-5 lifestyle
Whenever I'm here I wanna cry
Feeling emotional distress when in a work environment
Oh let me tell you now (I can't do it)
Reiterating the sense of not belonging
I don't fit in at all
Not fitting into societal norms
The money you can keep it all
Dismissing the importance of money
It just ain't what I wanna do
Rejecting activities not aligned with personal aspirations
Lord I don't want No 9-5
Desiring a life without a 9-5 job
