lyrics

I’ll Get a Job

(Verse 1)

Honest to God, I promise I’ll Get a Job
If that’s what it takes for me to be with you by your side
I’d give up my day’s funds just to pay for your sons
I would work for 8 months just to take you to lunch
Cause to me that’d be the most meaningful reason to spend
I would even work the weekend to see you again
Cause we all got our own life to live
I would work a night shift for my wife and kids
Shit, but who am I really kidding for funk’s sake
It’s only a matter of time before I’m writin’ on lunch breaks
No matter how much I pretend it’s okay
I’ll probably never settle or have the intention to stay
For this type of lifestyle I was not designed
Tryna juggle rhymin’ live with a 9 to 5
Part time when I vibe in the booth refocused
Gave it 2 weeks then gave it my two weeks notice
But I swear when I say

(Chorus x 2)

I’ll Get a Job right now, if you want me to. I swear

(Verse 2)

See for years I’ve been rhymin’ now I’m findin’ it funny
Investing all of my time but not a dime of my money
Cause to me it’s more than rap, it’s therapeutic to me
One of the only Fordham grads who never used his degree
Cause I’m an MC so to me music is first
Lookin’ stupid when they ask me what I’m doin’ for work
Which in turn, makes me feel cynical and depressed
Thinkin’ I should get a job and be miserable with the rest
A pain in the neck and a waste of well breath
I’ll gain their respect if I embrace myself less
I understand there’s maturity in security
But I gotta be honest I don’t understand the urgency
Like it’s some kinda crucial life or death emergency
So I’ll be workin’ overtime to lessen your concern for me
But first just let me finish these couple of verses up
And if it doesn’t work there ain’t no need to worry cause

(Chorus x 2)

I’ll Get a Job right now, if you want me to. I swear
