Damn man
Man I’m broker than an old VCR
Man I need a job
Are they hiring at your Job
I got a stack of red bills
at my house Man
It looks like Valentine’s Day
at the crib
My Kids eat left-over
leftovers man
I can’t fool them no more
It’s job time
every day every day
Got to work every day
My God there’s got to
be more to life than this
There’s got to be a
bigger reason that I exist
Work to eat to earn my keep
To ensure somewhere to sleep
and spend the weekend buying shit
Don’t need economists to know
I need pot to piss
Follow politics man
I ain’t got time to think
What I got to set aside
for my retirement
Cop a double shift pay
somebody to watch the kids
Sick of all this but
can’t take an off day
Doctor’s office
I can’t swing the co pay
Trapped in a network
lucky just to get work
They celebrate every week
nobody gets hurt
Greed could never leave
well enough alone
They keep on squeezing
till we bleed from every bone
And we’ll strive hard
and stress about the rent
Probably still die poor and in debt
without a cent but
Every day every day
Got to work every day
Every day every day
Got to work every day
You’re telling me
you ain’t never been
down on your luck
Never tried to make them
ends meet but just got stuck
Never slaved at a gig
like a bum with a cup
Added all your pennies up
and you still ain’t had enough
And the jobs full up
they ain’t hiring
I’m barely surviving
not enough to get by with
Hunger is a constant problem
stomach steady growling
People getting shot
in my environment
Study go to college is
what them people hollering
Too many road blocks
in the way its not an option
To say that its impossible
I would be lying
But you ain’t got a chance
if you’re not up in that top ten
A couple got a scholarship
but I am not them
Ain’t got the skills to
pay the bills
so my pockets are thin
So until I cop a gig
and my hardship ends
Fixing to line my self up
at your welfare office again
I expect to be accepted
as the man that I am
Respectfully and
appreciatively Ma’am
God damn you must be
out of your mind
Every day every day
Got to work every day
Every day every day
Got to work every day
People stressing
here’s the question
How they get people
drinking tea in a recession
It’s deception
how absurd is this
How are so many
poor people conservative
A pro artist I put it
in the good music
A con artist job’s
to make you look stupid
Lookie here I’ll teach you
how to look trough it
First thing you need to know
every con got a hook to it
They seduce you
with a little bit a wealth
Say you could have
some of these crumbs for yourself
If the government
doesn’t make us
help anyone else
You stuck a red sign
on your foreclosed house
Make you think
you’re taking back your nation
Then they turn it over
to a major corporation
Those companies
took the jobs overseas
And you handed them the wallet
out your pocket for free
You’re staring in the sky
with dollar signs for eyes
The blind right wing of
a bird that can’t fly
Just a peacock
with a poked out gut
Who’s too fat to fly
so his ass just strut but
Every day every day
Got to work every day
Every day every day
Got to work every day
They’re so criminal minded
we’ve been blinded
Looking for an honest job
and can’t find it
They got a job bill
we got a light bill
If we don’t pay ours
our life is quite real
Every day every day
Got to work every day
Every day every day
Got to work every day
