Tha 925 (Shot out East Bay)

ba ba bum ba ba bum bum bum
ba ba bum ba ba bum bum bum
ba ba bum ba ba bum bum bum
Tumble outta bed
 and stumble to the
 kitchen
(That's where we keep the food)
babababa bo duh duh doom
Pour myself a cup 
of ambition
(That's coffee y'all)
Yawnin'
 stretchin' and try to come
 to life
(Never get enough sleep)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
Jump in the 
shower and the blood 
starts pumpin'
(Thank God)
Out 
on the 
streets, the traffic starts 
jumpin'
(And by jumpin' we mean stallin')
With folks 
like me
 on the job from
 9 2 5
(That's the area code from the Tri-Valley)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
Working 9 2 5,
badabadum
 what a way to 
make a
 living
(If you can call it that)
Barely gettin' 
by, 
(I think they call it scrapin')
it's all
 taking and
 no 
giving
badabadum
They
 just use your 
mind and they
 never give you 
credit
(The credit you can get is at 35%)
badabadum
It's enough to drive 
you crazy if you let
 it
(So don't let it)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
9 2 5, 4 service and 
devotion
(A dedicated work ethic)
You would think
 that I would
 deserve a fair
 promotion
(I'd settle for an unfair one)
Want to move 
a head but the boss won't 
seem to let 
Me
(That sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot)
badabadum
I swear sometimes that
 man is out 
to get 
me
(And who would believe me)
skididy boochalasta rassem bobo bop
Mmmmm...
They 
let you dream just to 
watch them
 shatter
(Sadistic pig)
You're just a 
step on the boss man's
 ladder
(Hope you don't have to hold your bladder)
But you got 
dreams he'll never take 
away
(Keep them high up the career ladder)
In the same 
boat with a lot of your 
friends
(More unethical management types)
Waiting for the 
day your ship will come
 in
(Soon it'll be making another run)
And the tide's gonna 
turn an' it's all gonna roll you 
away
(Roll away where?)

Working 9 2 5, 
what a way to make 
a
 living
(Pleasanton)
Barely gettin' 
by, 
(Livermore) 
it's all
 taking and no
 giving
(Dublin)
They just use your
 mind and you never get the 
credit
(Like Concord and Antioch)
badabadum
It's enough to drive 
you crazy if you let 
it
9 2 5, yeah,
(The LaMOrinda Corridor)
ba ba bum baba bum bum bum
 they got you
 where
 they want you
(In the valley)
badabadum
There's a better
 life and you think 
about it don't 
you
It's a rich man's 
game no 
matter what they call 
it
(They call it Blackhawk)
babababa bo duh duh doom
And you spend your
 life putting money 
in his wallet. 
(In Danville in the 9 2 5)
