Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Said, I work my fingers down to the bone
Yeah, I put it down from 9 to 5, so you should know
You know what else?
And I bust my ass so you can live good
Yes, I do, girl
Now all I want you to do is what you should
There it is
[Verse 2]
See, there it is
There it is, baby
That ungrateful shit
There you go again, complainin'
Hey, what your aim is?
I don't know but I'm
[Verse 3]
I'm not doin' this shit for nothin'
No I ain't, no
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
House note
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
What you think this is?
You're not workin'
So what more you want?
What more you want?
Listen
[Verse 4]
I do my best to give you what you need
It seems that
The harder that I work, the less you see
Ooh, baby
Who wouldn't want the life you lead?
Think about it
Livin' the good life, yeah
Practically scot-free, oh yeah
[Verse 5]
See, there it is
There it is, there it is
That ungrateful shit
You see what I'm talkin' 'bout?
There you go again, being worse off, yeah
Like you earned somethin' 'round here
But, let's be clear
[Verse 6]
I'm not doin' this shit for nothin'
No
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no, do you hear what I'm saying?
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin'
So what more you want?
What more do ya want, babe?
[Verse 7]
You got two seconds, pack your shit and get on outta here
Gotta go, gotta go, baby
You don't appreciate what a man
Like me's about, no, you don't
[Verse 8]
And you know I'm workin' 9 to 5
Workin' hard every day, baby
Even put my name
Even signed my name
I said, for some overtime, yeah
[Verse 9]
See, there you go
There you go, there you go
Trying to run the show
Ooh, I wish you'd pay my car note
Pay my light bill, pay my house note
No, no, no
[Verse 10]
I'm not doin' this shit for nothin'
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
No-no-no, no-no-no, do you hear what I'm saying, baby?
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
What you think this is?
You're not workin'
So what more you want?
What more do you want?
[Verse 11]
I'm not doin' this shit for nothin'
How much more do you need?
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
All your friends say, I'm a fool, gonna what I do
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
What do you think this is?
You're not workin'
You're not workin', baby
So what more you want?
Who wouldn't want the life you lead, baby?
[Verse 12]
I'm not doin' this shit for nothin'
If you don't like it, pack your bags and go
I pay the car note, light bill, house note
Get on outta here, baby
What you think, this shit's for nothing?
You're not workin'
So what more you want?
