about

Its my first go at a hip hop type tune as an MC.

lyrics

Its a quarter to five
I'm barely alive
the sun's still asleep
as i head to the hive

for eight long hours
im a drone
i work the phones
for a savings and loan

so glad that the working weeks over
hop into my chevy nova
but every payday, I put money away
so i can get a new range rover

roll to my pad
to get ready
wolf down a bowl
of day old spaghetti

no time to spare
as i slick my hair
clothes to select
got an early soundcheck

glance in the mirror's reflection
sheer sartorial perfection

now i'm not gay
but i must say
if i swung that way,
i would tell myself "hey"

thank goodness for the weekend
can i get an amen
give it up for the weekend
thank goodness for friday to sunday
gonna party 'til Monday
with all of my good friends

another long week is behind us
you know that means that you'll find us
in a suite down at the four seasons
friday' night is a good enough reason

mic check mic check
one to the two
hello ladies
how do you do

i like the way you look
and your homegirls too
gonna kick it later on
why don't you swing on through

fine girls of every flavor
down for some naughty behavior
a soccer mom that was bomb
even a cute little candy raver

friday gonna hit it all night
sleep in then saturday night
gonna hit it again, then kick it with my friends

have a gin and tonic
a red bull or some chronic
vodka or bacardi
we all came to party
