Now, this is dedicated to that little piece of mind

That you find every day when you leave your daily grind

The time is 5pm, and now you're leavin' your cubicle

It's Daylight Savings Time and the weather is beautiful!

Suitable to chill and breathe a sigh of relief

At last the day is yours for you to do as you please

Yeah, you feel the breeze even when the traffic is crammed

Because you on year way home, and bumpin' your favorite jam!

So you run into your crib, and then you lock your door

Zonin' out, listenin' to records galore

Lookin' for some Perceptionists, maybe some Jill Scott

But so matter what you checkin', the selections real hot

Here's the plot: give it everything you've got

Make moves, then your life will truly improve

Now you thinkin' 'bout the hours that you put in for them

And surpassin' 'em for delf, 'cause that's the real gem!

Here's an idea: think to yourself, "Yeah, this is my year!"

Now proceed with your mind clear

All those things you're saying' you would do in the past

Make 'em daily tasks, or those bright ideas won't last

It's 5 O'clock and I'm finally free

It's my time to shine, my time to be

I spent the whole damn day workin' for you

Now it's time to do sum'n for me

I just can't wait to get on home

Away from you--and be all alone

Turn off the TV, unplug the phone

'Cause it's 5 o'clock, now everybody sing along

Now you understand that you your own woman or man

Because you broke it down to a simple four step plan

Step 1 - Sit and make a plan, Son

Step 2 - Make time for you, Boo

Step 3 - Turn off your motherfuckin' TV!

All the sudden there's so much of the world to see

And step 4 is to explore your options and got it poppin'

To get in the game instead of just watchin'

Entrepreneurial maneuvers, self-investment

That's the shit, I can't contest it!

If you ain't doin' what you love doin', you're losin'

Security's illusion created by institution

To keep us movin' to the job, bank, and the store

A commonly accepted thus perpetuated war

And if what you're waitin' for is opportunity to knock at your door

Then step it up, 'cause it aint like that no more!

Sure, you can sit at home rottin' away

But in your heart I know you feel there's somethin' missin' everyday

But all that matter t you now is you off the clock

Yo, this weekend's gon' be off the rocker, Son! (Yeah, Son!)

It's 5 O'clock and I'm finally free

It's my time to shine, my time to be

I spent the whole damn day workin' for you

Now it's time to do sum'n for me

I just can't wait to get on home

Away from you--and be all alone

Turn off the TV, unplug the phone

'Cause it's 5 o'clock, now everybody sing along

I hear this song on the radio a good bit nowadays, but I could never find out the title. The only thing I had to work with was the phrase 'now it's time to do something for me'. I'm so happy I found it

The Perceptionists - 5 O'clockThis joint is what inspired me to start Rockfresh. "If you ain't doing what you love doing, you're losing." Wise words I will take to my grave.

Never heard these dudes before, I've heard phonte before though of course, but someone commented on one of my songs saying i sound similar to them, and i come to this song and hear a beat with a sample in the beat that I flipped a while ago hahaha, this track is dope, respect.
