Well I tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street the traffic starts jumping
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living
Barely getting by, it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
Working 5 to 9, you’ve got passion and a vision
Cuz it’s hustlin’ time, whole new way to make a livin’
Gonna change your life, do something that gives it meaning
With a website that is worthy of your dreaming

Well you’ve got dreams and you know they matter
Be your own boss, climb your own ladder
That moment’s getting closer by the day
You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Launching ideas you all believe in
The tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way

Working 5 to 9, making something of your own now
And it feels so fine to build a business from your know-how
Gonna move ahead, and there’s nothing that you can’t do
When you listen to that little voice inside you
Yeah 5 to 9, you’ve got passion and a vision
Cuz it’s hustlin’ time, a whole new way to make a livin’
Gonna change your life, do something that gives it meaning

With a website that is worthy of your dreaming
5 to 9
You keep working working working
Working 5 to 9
Til your dreams come true
Working 5 to 9
You keep dreaming dreaming dreaming
5 to 9
5 to 9
You can do it
