Ultramagnetic MC’s - Get a Job lyrics

Yo, I gotta correct myself I said '85
But lookin at the master tape in front of me
That joint was '84 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

Yo, yo, yo Kool Keith, yo!
Yo can I borrow a quarter, c'mon?

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!

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!

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 malnutrition
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!

Yo money I ain't gotta get
A job I'm LARGE boy
I'm out here I'm runnin' shit
On the corner y'knahmsayin?
I got my bitches out here, gettin' paid
Yo my bitches gettin' money

Yo that bitch ain't workin' over
There look at Sally man

Yo man bitch got a sweet ass
Niggas is clockin' her y'know cRAZY DOLLARS

Man that bitch need a fuckin JOB!

Bust this I got this kilo coming

Man, there go the cops gET A JOB
