20syl - Bucket lyrics

Bucket Yeah They'll never lock me up They'll never lock me up, yeah Got the new job but it ain't my speed Run me down when my walk is free They'll never lock me up, no They'll never lock me up, yeah I guess it started with my father working at his pizza parlor Washing dishes, folding boxes and taking peoples orders Back when all the phones were chorded you know when Desert Storm hit Begging parents for some Jordans unaware it,d short the mortgage Before sixth grade I had a job though it paid Waking up at six on the weekdays was a b**h They had me in the stix throwing paper on the steps of the rich Every step I was taking felt like less than an inch so I quit And stayed with pops mowing lawns since the parlor had gone out of business And this was just the way he moved on though everyday he would wake With a yawn that I knew was way different Got the new job but it ain't my speed Run me down when my walk is free They'll never lock me up, no They'll never lock me up, yeah Got a new job but it ain't my speed Run me down when my walk is free They'll never lock me up, no They'll never lock me up, yeah I guess you gotta work just as work permits At fourteen sure thing you could work with a work permit All clean over the table get paid under if you're able What I mean is watch your claims if you work for tips That advice came from a waiter I was bussing but in training I was too nice then to take it but grew wiser as I waited Watched the president comment how they use it for schools Instead they build another bomber for the clueless to use Now I'm out here tryna see the buck as deer As these country club members who mount them for us to fear I fill their cups and then I park their cars And sit and wonder why their luck ain't as sparse as ours Got the new job but it ain't my speed Run me down when my walk is free They'll never lock me up, no They'll never lock me up, yeah Got the new job but it ain't my speed Run me down when my walk is free They'll never lock me up, no They'll never lock me up, yeah Before I learned to have a way with words and live off it I cooked, bussed, served, valeted, and dish-washed I watched and observed kids play in a maze Then later walked through the maze to wash the piss off it I built homes and nature trails man I pulled weeds Worked retail and detailed schedules for special needs I wore animal noses and steel toed boots I held hammers and roses and filled those scoops With ice cream till my team k**ed those loops Called ourselves The Procussions till we lost two Came back with empty buckets gotta fill those too Always ignoring the hole that the fill goes through Got the new job but it ain't my speed Run me down when my walk is free They'll never lock me up, no They'll never lock me up, yeah Got the new job but it ain't my speed Run me down when my walk is free They'll never lock me up They'll never lock me up, yeah
