(Intro)
This a song about a boy Randell
5 Years in the Pen
Time for a new life
Fresh new start
(Chorus)
If you wanna get a job you gotta have ambition, and a little bit of sweet talk
If you wanna get a job you gotta have ambition, and a little bit of sweet talk
You can’t just go into it blindly, mindless thoughts and a brain made of rock
You can’t just go into it blindly, mindless thoughts and a brain made of rock
(Verse)
Interview for a job, thank you lord thank you God
Need that money for my kids, clear my path and my sins
Bills keep coming I can’t pay, need some food Lord I pray
Not for me but for my fam, need a house a beaver dam
Yes a damn but not my soul, rest with you my final goal
Need to work, all I ask, do the job, whatever task
Need a job, use my head, work all day, get that bread
I ain’t proud, love my boy, and the the God who gave him joy
(Bridge 1)
I’ve been workin’ all day long, all day long
I’ve been workin’ all day long, all day long
Work is hard, life's harder, pray to God, the true father
Give me strength, forget my name, I need your help, don’t need the fame
(Chorus)
If you wanna get a job you gotta have ambition, and a little bit of sweet talk
If you wanna get a job you gotta have ambition, and a little bit of sweet talk
You can’t just go into it blindly, mindless thoughts and a brain made of rock
You can’t just go into it blindly, mindless thoughts and a brain made of rock
(Verse)
Tried a desk, didn’t fit, tried to cook, had to quit
Made a sweater, couldn’t knit, cubicle ain’t legit
Lord I’m beggin’ beggin’ please, Got me down on my knees
Don’t want the drugs don’t want to sell, need your grace free from hell
Lay my life on the line, go to jail do the time
Ain’t that life, ain’t that crime, tell my story for the rhyme
Trust in God for a job, don’t wanna steal don’t wanna rob
Teach my boy’s to love the lord and use the bible as a sword.
(Bridge 2)
I know life’s getting’ betta, all day long
I know life’s getting’ betta, all day long
I’ve been workin’ all day long, all day long
I’ve been workin’ all day long, all day long
(Chorus)
If you wanna get a job you gotta have ambition, and a little bit of sweet talk
If you wanna get a job you gotta have ambition, and a little bit of sweet talk
You can’t just go into it blindly, mindless thoughts and a brain made of rock
You can’t just go into it blindly, mindless thoughts and a brain made of rock
(Outro)
All day long, all all day long
All day long, all all day long
