| (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 ****in' 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 mother****in' 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 | |
| [Hook] | |
| 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 | |
