Get A Job

[Ced Gee]

Yo, I gotta correct myself; I said eighty-five

But lookin at the master tape in front of me, that joint was eighty-four

But uhh, check dis, we gon' run through a bunch of old joints

And then we gon' sum it up, with a brand new joint at the end

To bring... this whole thing to an end y'knahmsayin

So check it

[someone doing a high voice]

Yo, yo, yo Kool Keith, yo!

Yo can I borrow a quarter, c'mon?

[K Keith] Yo Ced, what a stupid motherfucker, he's a asshole

[Ced Gee] Get a job motherfucker, not some bitches like me to pimp

[Ced Gee] Yo Keith tell 'em about it

[Kool Keith]

Everyday on the block, you sit and wait, you need a job

Eatin corn chips, and lookin nosy as hell

Seekin all of the business, open mouths can tell

Who worked 9 today, who got a 5 today

Who sold a bundle of dope, who else survived today

Now think internal dummy, you walk around like a fool

With your feet on the ground, a quarter beer and you're cool

But you don't watch me, nobody watch your back

I keep a scope on my prey, an eye behind my back

So I can see when you perpetrate, and talk when I leave

About this man, that man, the Joker or Batman

See these girls with no money, all bummy, hangin with Catman

Cause they're silly, we're not impressed with gold

It takes a brain and a washcloth, the school even told ya

mind ya business, and pay your bills and walk

You're mad at neighbors upstairs, because they won't even talk

They have a job, a day and dollars ahead of 'em

While you paw me and beg me, joke around for fifty cents

Make it simple and plain, you probably know who you are

YOU NEED A JOB!

[Kool Keith]

Three o'clock in the mornin you're screamin up and down the hallway

Can a workin man sleep, you're stupid taggin up his doorway

Wit'cha radio loud, you're unaware of your scent

So take a piece of advice, and buy your brain the common sense

Look around on the dirty ground, you're scrapin up your knees

Always hangin with trash, pigeon female pickin seeds

Steady one by one, they'd rather eat off the floor

They leave their bones in the street, and chew that meat off the floor

Ain't that a shame - one girl is tryin to diss

Because while her friend's at work, ain't got a pot to piss

But she insist more, to take a powerful stand

With her new three dumb friends and jack buck in her hand

With no intention, on ever finding a job

To get a coal out your eye before it turns to glob

It takes time, and such a positive mind

Like you search for a high, a job is easy to find

It's total laziness, go give your mother respect

You wanna live like a roach, and wait around on a check

But you ain't right bum, you're still foolish and dumb

You're just a fish out of rock, creek and a lowlife scum

So tell me somethin - you get a kick out of sleepin?

Because you're facin the clock, another day on the block

YOU NEED A JOB!

[voice] Aiyyo Keith I don't need a job I'm down with Uptown Management

[Ced G] Stop speaking garbage to me man - one more time Keith

[Kool Keith]

Five o'clock in the evening, Friday payday is sharp

You got your face in my wallet, your feet is draggin the tar

But you don't see it fool, they go to work and you don't

They like to pay off their credit, they'll wake up early, you won't

Try to better yourself, and keep a can of pork and beans

Like a malnutition, step away when you're dissin

Because your ears are invalid, neither organs will listen

But you insist more, you step up laugh and diss more

The A is for apple, knowin what you can kiss more

the back of the donkey, swing around like a monkey

Out there searchin for needles, in disguise of a junkie

You're just embarassin, a total menace disgrace

I seen you scrapin for residue on that pipe and you bass

You need to stop it, deduct that habit and drop it

You see my rhymes are like pills, you need to take it and pop it

And let it float through you blink, let it go through your brain

It takes a pity to see, you're wastin my time

You think I'm writing for nothing or am I wasting my rhyme

You're grown beggin for pennies - YOU NEED A JOB!

Get a fuckin job motherfucker!

[voice]
