Job Song - Consequence

(Excuse me, uh beg your pard? Nah wait hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.

Bitch, you don’t I don’t get paid enough for you to talkin to me like that.

Straight up and down.

I don’t feel like standin' about a fuckin' front door.

Aight?

You know what?

Matter of fact, a year from now, when you at home on your only

day off

and you watchin UPN, you see me come up there and watch me get my motherfuckin'

award.

Tell your kids I said…)

How’d I get stuck in this dead-end job when I can rap

But of course my real collecters they ain’t tryin' to hear that

Matter of fact, they asking Dexter when I plan to pay back

On a long line of credit that they lent me way back, way back, way back

At the turn of the century

The notice they sent to me

They sayin' essentially

If I don’t pay that balance off with a loan with an extra fee

Penitentiary, a criminal charges

Are prolly sure to follow if you dare disregard this

And that got me nauseous

And feeling precautious

Cause the fruits of my labor

And bend (?) on harvest

At least there’s an artist

Cause at least there’s an artist

You can call whoever when you talkin' the hardest

But you suppose to call when they all think you garbage

And figure that you washed up

Damn, they so heartless

Cause when I call the office

They act stiffy and stanchy

And this just ain’t where I’m suppose to be,

This just ain’t where I’m suppose to be,

This just ain’t where I’m suppose to be,

This just ain’t where I’m suppose to be,

cause this just ain’t where I’m suppose to be,

This just ain’t where I’m suppose to be,

This just ain’t where I’m suppose to be,

This just ain’t, this just ain’t

Now I’m in a situation that I can’t pacify

So I’m looking through the papers

Skimming through the classifies

When I see a opportunity that can’t pass me by

That I can get the job, if I give this class a try

Put my pride to the side, go get 'em 9 to 5

Causing livin' check to check the only way that I’ll survive

But Dodee saw the lie cause the lee’s certified

They take all the shirts and towels for the course that they provide

But of course they will provide

A mean of employment

Which is basically a job that I soon be annoyed with

So this unemployment is now sudden to change

Cause of all these interviews and I’m running my game

And I’m bein' introduced by my government name

And I’m only out to prove that we one in the same

So for now, my good game a fall away from recording

Cause they left a message saying that I start Monday morning

(Hello, this is OCS for Dexter Mills. Dexter, we have work for you on Monday

morning at our Banana Republic and Broadway and Spring St. in Lower

Manhattan.
