Five Days A Week

Five days a week, all week long
I work my fingers to the bone
And if I get laid off, another job I'll seek
'Cause I'm a blue collard man
Work all I can five days a week

Five days a week, eight hours a day
And then the weekends mine and I can blow my mind or kneel and pray
When I was just fifteen I had to earn my keep
'Cause I'm a blue collard man
Worked all I can five days a week

Five days a week, eight hours a day
And then the weekends mine and I can blow my mind or kneel and pray
For life ain't free you got to earn your keep
If you're a blue collard man
You work all you can five days a week
