Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Getting ready for bed
Then I look at that ashtray
Pajamas on the chair
But that little roll calls my name
Getting ready to float
Half a smile in the bathroom light
Got a toothbrush in one hand
Other hand sparking up the night (mmm)
[Chorus]
Stay ready
All the time
For the weight, for the wave, for the grind
Nine to five on my back
Still I keep my spirit intact
Stay ready
Heart on the line
If the world gonna press, I won’t fold, I’ll rise
Getting tired, getting high, getting by
I stay ready, nine to five
[Verse 2]
Getting ready for work
Coffee stains on a wrinkled shirt
Bus pass, busted phone
But the rhythm in my chest still works
Getting ready to choose
Clock in or just call in blue
Got a joint in my pocket
And a promise I made to you (yeah)
[Chorus]
Stay ready
All the time
For the bills, for the blues, for the climb
Nine to five on my back
Still I keep my spirit intact
Stay ready
Heart on the line
If the world gonna press, I won’t fold, I’ll rise
Getting tired, getting high, getting by
I stay ready, nine to five
[Bridge]
Some days I’m crawling
Some days I’m gold
Some nights I’m laughing
Just to not explode
I bend, I break
Then I breathe, reset
If the day’s a debt
I ain’t paid it yet (oh)
[Chorus]
Stay ready
All the time
For the hurt, for the hope, for the shine
Nine to five on my back
Still I keep my spirit intact
Stay ready
Heart on the line
If the world gonna press, I won’t fold, I’ll rise
Getting tired, getting high, getting by
I stay ready, nine to five
