Yeah |
They’ll never lock me up |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
Got the new job but it ain’t my speed |
Run me down when my walk is free |
They’ll never lock me up, no |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
I guess it started with my father working at his pizza parlor |
Washing dishes, folding boxes, and taking people’s orders |
Back when all the phones were chorded, you know, when Desert Storm hit? |
Begging parents for some Jordans, unaware it’d short the mortgage |
Before sixth grade, I had a job, though it paid |
Waking up at six on the weekdays was a bitch |
They had me in the stix, throwing paper on the steps of the rich |
Every step I was taking felt like less than an inch, so I quit |
And stayed with Pops mowing lawns since the parlor had gone out of business |
And this was just the way he moved on, though everyday he would wake |
With a yawn that I knew was way different |
Got the new job but it ain’t my speed |
Run me down when my walk is free |
They’ll never lock me up, no |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
Got a new job but it ain’t my speed |
Run me down when my walk is free |
They’ll never lock me up, no |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
I guess you gotta work just as work permits |
At fourteen, sure thing, you could work with a work permit |
All clean over the table get paid under if you’re able |
What I mean is watch your claims if you work for tips |
That advice came from a waiter I was busing, but in training |
I was too nice then to take it, but grew wiser as I waited |
Watched the president comment how they use it for schools |
Instead they build another bomber for the clueless to use |
Now I’m out here tryna see the buck as deer |
As these country club members who mount them for us to fear |
I fill their cups and then I park their cars |
And sit and wonder why their luck ain’t as sparse as ours |
Got the new job but it ain’t my speed |
Run me down when my walk is free |
They’ll never lock me up, no |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
Got the new job but it ain’t my speed |
Run me down when my walk is free |
They’ll never lock me up, no |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
Before I learned to have a way with words and live off it |
I cooked, bused, served, valeted, and dish-washed |
I watched and observed kids play in a maze |
Then later walked through the maze to wash the piss off it |
I built homes and nature trails, man, I pulled weeds |
Worked retail and detailed schedules for special needs |
I wore animal noses and steel-toed boots |
I held hammers and roses and filled those scoops |
With ice cream 'til my team killed those loops |
Called ourselves The Procussions 'til we lost two |
Came back with empty buckets, gotta fill those too |
Always ignoring the hole that the fill goes through |
Got the new job but it ain’t my speed |
Run me down when my walk is free |
They’ll never lock me up, no |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
Got the new job but it ain’t my speed |
Run me down when my walk is free |
They’ll never lock me up |
They’ll never lock me up, yeah |
