[Verse One: Mr. Lif]
Now this is dedicated to that little piece of mind
That you find everyday when you leave your daily grind
(The time is 5 p.m. and now you leavin' your cubicle
It's daylight savings time and the weather is beautiful)

Suitable to kill 'em, 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 your way home and bumpin' your favorite jam)

So [bad word] into your crib and then you lock your door
Zonin' out, listenin' to records galore
(Lookin' for some Perceptionists, maybe some Jill Scott
But no matter what you checkin', the selection's real hot)

Here's the plot, give it everythin' you got
Make moves, then your life will [bad word] improve
(Now you thinkin' 'bout the hours that you put in for them
And surpassin' them for delf, 'cause that's the real gem)

Here's an idea, think to yourself yeah
This is my year, now perceive with your mind clear
All those things you're sayin' you would do in the past
Make them daily tasks, so those bright ideas won't last

[Hook: Akrobatik]
It's 5 O'Clock and I'm finally free
(It's my time to shine, my time to be)
I spent the whole [bad word] day workin' for you
Now it's time to do somethin' for me
 [bad word]  Phonte]
I just can't wait, to get on home
Away from you and be all alone
Turn off the TV and put off the phone
'Cause it's 5 O'Clock, now everybody sing along...

[Verse Two: Akrobatik]
Now you understand that you your own woman or man
Because you broke it down to a simple four step plan
(Step one, sit and make a plan son)
Step two, make time for you, boo

(Step three) turn off your muthaf**kin' TV!
All the sudden, there's so much of the world to see
And step four is to explore your options and get it poppin'
To get in the game instead of just watchin'

Entrepreneurial maneuvers, self investment
That's the sh**, I can't contest it
(If you ain't doin' what you love doin', your losin'
Security's illusion created by institution

To keep us movin' to the job, bank and the store [bad word] accepted thus perpetuated war)
And if what you waitin' for is opportunity to knock at your door
Then step it up, 'cause it ain't 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 matters to you now is you off the clock
Yo this weekend's gon' be off the rocker son! (Yeah son!)

[Hook: Akrobatik]
It's 5 O'clock and I'm finally free
(It's my time to shine, my time to be)
I spent the whole [bad word] day workin' for you
Now it's time to do somethin' for me

Now it's time to do somethin' for me
Now it's time to do somethin' for me
I done spent the whole [bad word] day workin' for you
Now it's time to do somethin' for me
 [bad word] 

[Outro]
What's the time? It's 5 O'Clock!
