I'm so Tired

Money
Money
Money
Money

It isn't easy as it seems
See me in your dreams
TV like a fiend
No in between
I'm up and out to get the cream
No doubt some people scheme
But everybody recognize the real thing
The genuine article
Simple
Elementary

Instrumental

Gentle

Joyful
Sinful
Flicker of flame to kindle
Nimble on the mic like a spindle
Mother Africa the temple
Money's just a symbol

Money's just a symbol
The fakes try to swindle
Got 'em under a thumb like a thimble
My rhymes for real
Not a rental

And I'm so tired of working a 9 to 5
But feeling so unadmired
Worried 'bout getting fired
Feeling stuck spinning tires
And I'm so tired
And I'm so tired of working a 9 to 5
But feeling so unadmired
Worried 'bout getting fired
Feeling stuck spinning tires
And I'm so tired

And I'm so tired

To have to fight for every inch
Filing every since
The system getting dead presidents
Submitting evidence
Allegedly convinced
Allegedly convinced

I'm guilty
In this prison they built me

Against me is filthy
Against me is filthy
And who's killing who
And what these politicians really do
Call me get the crew
Get the crew
Ben Grant, Eve and Jackson crew
Got five tens and ones too
I run through and undo

I run through and undo
Previous received notions

Believe you and me got an ocean to cross
Who's the boss
Lost floating
At the crossroads hoping

At the crossroads hoping

In God we trust
Which God is that
Isn't it obvious

Isn't it obvious
Jah, Allah, God, Yahweh and all
They all have an odd kind of awe
Like something you never saw
Keep fronting up something raw
Another picture for you to draw
Another picture to draw

And I'm so tired of working a 9 to 5
But feeling so unadmired
Worried 'bout getting fired
Feeling stuck spinning tires
And I'm so tired
And I'm so tired of working a 9 to 5
But feeling so unadmired
Worried 'bout getting fired
Feeling stuck spinning tires
And I'm so tired

And I'm so tired

I'm so tired
And I'm so tired of

Being alone
On the roam
Looking for home
Working my fingers to the bone
Not seeing the microphone
In the zone
'Cause I'm grown
Money problems can make you moan
Yo change your tone

T take the throne
Escape the clones
Homes
Only if I have enough time
To get at 'em
Bust rhyme
Fathomly to see the sunshine

Re-unwind

Be done blind
Re-unwind

Be done blind
To the haters
Forever be my motivators
'Cause there's plenty skinny gators
In the waters waiters
Ain't doing no favors
Waiters
Ain't doing no favors

Need a dollar too
To be a leader gotta follow through
No telling what the law'll do
Inspire an odd few
Who knew the job I gotta do

Who knew the job I gotta do

And I'm so tired of working a 9 to 5
But feeling so unadmired
Worried 'bout getting fired
Feeling stuck spinning tires
And I'm so tired
And I'm so tired of working a 9 to 5
But feeling so unadmired
Worried 'bout getting fired
Feeling stuck spinning tires
And I'm so tired

And I'm so tired

I'm so tired
And I'm so tired
And I'm so tired
And I'm so tired
And I'm so tired
