I am the modern model of the modern model citizen But every now and then I have to question what I'm living in Another day another dollar take it for example Business minded kindness blinded by a need to trample Now I find myself as unemployment as my lifestyle Running out of money and I'm livin' like a slob Can't get the honeys 'cause I'm running out of Lifestyles Don't think it's funny 'cause I can't get a job Well I can't get job 'cause I can't afford to work Got no money for the bus Gus Let's discuss if we must the cycle that won't allow me nothing cousin Hey I got no loot so I can't get nice clothes Got no new clothes so I can't get no interview Got no interview so I can't sell myself Got no job so I don't got no wealth Got no wealth which means no car no house no bar with No bottles to put on a shelf Got no money so I can't get a haircut Can't get a haircut so I can't look nice Got no cheese so I can't catch the mice That don't even live at my home address I don't no dough so I can't get no bread to bless I can't get a job I can't get a job I can't get a job I can't get a job 'cause I can't afford to work I got no credit cause it takes it to get it That's making me dread it so I did Don't want a job to define me not till I find me My dreads will remind me that I'm just a kid As they did the other day when I went to see the man Late to the meeting and he didn't understand Never on time 'cause the watch doesn't ring wear me Never had time 'cause it's just a theory ethereal Like the goddess of material wealth She can keep it for herself In a daze through the maze so that you can get a raise While the suits say who goes who stays Back to the start lose a turn Give thanks and praise there are better ways to learn Thinkin' that you earn should be concerned Put your soul on hold then it needs to be returned I can't get a job I can't get a job I can't get a job I can't get a job 'cause I can't afford to work I said I can't get a job cuz I can't get a reference I can't get a reference cuz I don't have a phone I can't get a phone cuz I got no place to put it in I got no place to put it in cuz I'm without a home I can't get housing if I've got no history I can't get a loan cause I'm always alone I can't go to the bank with my nappy, nappy dreads I can't undo my naps 'cause I can't afford a comb I can't get a job 'cause I got no drivers license And the People there can't help me 'cause I got no id They're the ones trying to tell me that I got no identity But they're the ones working at the f%$king DMV Aw excuse me as I babble on and on
