[intro]
[sample from "Cold Blooded" by Common]
"..I get the job done but some days I wanna take off.."
[Verse 1- Sunny Jones]
You wanna rap fam? You wanna be a star?
You want the good life- hoes, shows, exotic cars?
You want the limelight? You wanna shine, right?
And you just working this job until your time's right
"All I need is like one meeting with Def Jam
And that'll be the end of my days behind this desk, fam"
Dawg you know I'm rooting for you but on the humble
This the same conversation we had 60 months ago
This your priority here you got seniority here
With top benefits my n***a just stick with this
I know from afar the game could look rosey
But you better off getting your money than where the hoes be
You want the groupies that's down to service the penis
'Til they come back with attorneys that serve you subpoenas
Yo it's true we do our best to dodge the state prisons
Not to mention the roaming charges man listen
[Hook]
If I could I'd give you half my life
Just so you feel me
Everything that glitters is not j**elry
If I could I'd give you half my life
Just so you feel me, feel me
Later for all that nonsense & foolery
We on that 9-5 grind the office
n***a you on that bullsh** get off it
Get off it get, get off it
[Verse 2- Sunny Jones]
Let me show you how I be at work
I'm never late I'm early I stay up out the way
My super's name is Shirley she hates my Beats by Dres
She thinks my work is stellar & I'm a handsome fella
But notices I never show up at the corporate extras
"You'll never get past the bra** if you don't
Let 'em know that you exist so in other words kiss a**"
n***a please I can't even picture me
Rubbing elbows with the people in this hellhole
Exchanging my cell phone numbers with these strangers
Trading in my shell toes for loafers & Wranglers
Shaving off my facial hair to get in the Fast Track Management
Program & talking like Braxton, "Broham!"
No ma'am I'm sorry, not interested
Then she said, "well fine, tell me this what is your plan?
You know this entry level position ain't paying
Man you getting minutes in the game but you ain't playing, I'm saying"
[Hook]
[Verse 3- Chris Faust]
I be sleeping in my Riviera attitude is Malcolm X
Thinking 'bout my life more clearer planning what will happen next
Space to watch the constellations minutes now that i been waiting
And even though i'm 26 at least i'm not incarceration
That's what i'm dreaming during office hours gossip talk
Where the baddest women evil cause they see you wanna leave you chalked
Chillin' out in Seaview with my people gotta keep it parked
Cause n*ggas try to be you so to be you they gotta take you out
Don Draper for that paper but that hater
Got promoted cause he's quoted by HR he's s**ing now & laters
F*cking hour later i'm still at work
Soundcheck at 7 at 11 a** is still at work
The nightshift day grind my lights off my duckets low
Angie got her thong out during training so i love it though
This work sh*t isn't natural these paychecks are still cashable
Escape into my island Thomas Cruise without collateral
Faust...
[Hook]
