Oddisee - Check My Resume lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, I like that Oddissee I appreciate the recommendation Let's go, yeah, yo [Verse 1] Name Substantial, address Nunya Baltimore resident but people know I'm from the County where the Prince is a G, it's no wonder That even in the dead of winter, the block is live as summer Where dudes got that work, but I'm ji' mo' selective Pa** the line that is second you will find my objective I'm seeking a position that will further my development While fattening my pockets cause I don't rhyme for the hell of it You need my work experience and past employers? I'm down with QN5. Former U.V. Ink owner And I use to be with Hyde Out and the late great Nujabes Wherever I go my motto's "Be great do your best" Responsible for making sure that we stay stupid fresh Locally and globally while they help me get these groceries And keep the fam eatin', I keep the fans fiendin' And hit them with the potency of a professional, dope MC You know it's me! [Hook] Can't speak for these other guys but You can check my resume man, I'm qualified yep Why would I lie bruh, (Nobody as fresh as this Hit man for higher, check my references!) Can't speak for these other guys but You can check my resume man, I'm certified yep You can put'em high up, (Nobody as fresh as this Hit man for higher, check my references!) [Verse 2] I should be your 1st pick, long before the second interview 3rd LP's a 4 out of 5 minimum Even with short pockets stood taller than Sentinel Drive is uncanny, not your average individual You'd think I graduated from the Xavier Institute But School of Hard Knocks is where I took my cla**es Where I got my Master of Ceremony tactics My Poor Righteous Teachers taught me to make only cla**ics You may know me as this Educator and a Vocalist Who the hell you know's a Team Player and a Soloist Can dress to impress but I'm fly when I'm plain Too thorough, if I quit you would hire me again So fire him if he lame I've come for what's mine Work around the clock so I can keep up with the times Since elementary I flipped a dub from a dime While they get the pink slip I get the W-9 [Hook] [Verse 3] I'm the man for the job, while these slackers do jobs for the man Knowing that it blows, sometimes it's involving their hands They are really hoes. Don't you want a person with integrity Setting goals, tailored for success, you can measure me On my accolades and my sk** in the field of rhyme Future so bright, man, for real, have you feeling blind Plottin' chart toppin while I chill and I'm k**in' time Sk**s gettin' better but they still ain't as ill as mine Don't take my word here's some references to check up with You can call the Gods, UAU is who they represent Holla at Odd, he made the beat the I mettle wit' Or Tone & PackFM because my famm is extended trick Call my peeps Marcus D if you want that better sh** Me & my brethren stick together like a pair of tits Call Kool Herc & Busy Bee, I ain't arrogant But here's a quick reminder just in case it still ain't evident, yo! [Hook]
