1st Verse: |
|
Woke up in the morning with my manager yelling about |
|
Late rent and debt with the threat of her throwing me out |
|
I promise with a sweat bead hanging that I would pay |
|
As soon as I get a job so so I can stay |
|
She said I had 2 weeks and its coming up quickly |
|
Butt naked in the kitchen looking through LA Weekly |
|
Searching in the Want Ads frantically |
|
So something similiar to fit my personality |
|
And then boom that's when I saw it |
|
A jewelry shop at Macy's |
|
I can birdwatch and make cash at the same place G |
|
Its was cool so I signed up |
|
Slanging Swatch watches to all the people lined up |
|
That's when they moved me to the Diamond Department |
|
And apllied preasure to sell a larger margian |
|
I tried my best but I always came up short |
|
A diamond ring saleman just wasn't my sport |
|
There was more preasure so I had to sale something |
|
Saw a girl in the front trying to decide want did she want |
|
I said "Girl you need a ring" started saleing that thing |
|
Got excited and straight forgot the bring |
|
The price tag to my face the ring was 3 grand |
|
And it was looking lovely on her pretty left hand |
|
She bought for half cause I thought the tag said so |
|
But I read it wrong noticed when she walked out the door |
|
I sang |
|
Chorus: |
|
Oh my God I lost my job again |
|
I got fired on the spot yo when will it ever end? (2x) |
|
2nd Verse: |
|
Walking home from Macy's had to dry my tears |
|
Cause I only had 1 week to pay the rent it was clear |
|
I had to get another gig quick asking at church |
|
"Is anyone hiring?" and it worked |
|
I got a job in downtown as a stock clerk |
|
Shelving and alphabetizing files like a doctor |
|
On a patient but my boss wasn't playing with time |
|
Brother wanted his files then now and future in line |
|
And you know I'm not good under preasure |
|
I act like Radio and Rain Man together |
|
Started messing up loosing important files and such |
|
And finding them too late when in a crutch |
|
My boss brought me his office for a little pep talk |
|
"John you can do it if you don't talk but walk" |
|
I said "That's right" but I knew I was wrong |
|
I was so scared and behind these throngs of files |
|
They could've been anywhere in the aisles |
|
Under the desks behind the printers in piles |
|
And it way past due I turned my files in last |
|
Not good enough I felt my job just pass |
|
And then I sang |
|
Chorus: |
|
Oh my God I lost my job again |
|
I got fired on the spot yo when will it ever end? (2x) |
|
Outro: |
|
You're gonna be ok my little boy |
|
Just shake shake it off and go home (4x) |
