Stayin Alive Ain'T Nine To Five
STAYING ALIVE AIN’T NINE TO FIVE
It’s not an easy job
One must know how to fight and rob
It’s not an easy occupation
One must have keen observation
You’ve got to look both ahead and behind
Someone with rough edges of a certain kind
Sympathy plays no part in what one must do
He has to be heartless and fearless too
Around every corner on every single block
Time is often of the essence so you watch the clock
Hanging out in one place too long is a big mistake
And there are also hard and fast rules one must never break
Such as a snake one must slither and slide
And also know when it’s time for you to hide
You never know who might be gunning for you alone
And your stare better be fearsome and stoic as stone
Civilians and police are enemies who want to take what you sell
You have sweat, fear and being caught to quell
The job is based basically on receiving and giving
So learn well if you’re going to sell dope for a living
