Staying Alive Aint 9 2 5

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 © 2011.…Pheeepoetree ~free cee!~
