****ajob

When I'm alone in my home

Sometimes I cover my face

Then walk around in circles at a slow pace

It's my attempt to erase

The feeling that I'm standing in place

At my 9 to 5 I teach computers to be clever

So they can replace you

And do the job better

Never say never

Corporate America's out to save cheddar

Computer programin' ain't about creation

It ain't about video games or playstations

It ain't about makin' new jobs or innovation

It's about automation, and permanent vacations

Just the other day

My boss fired some cat

That worked a thousand miles away

There wasn't nothing I could say

It was sad to see, but I was glad it wasn't me

15 years of experience, dependable

1 merger, 1 meeting, expendable

I know it seems unbelievable

They used to kiss your ass

But now they don't need you

You ever thought about when you'll be outta here?

Nice job, nice car, still outta here

Middle management downsized and outta here

Some **** I ain't tryna here

****ajob! For real!

The best time in my career was at the start

I was workin' extra hours, pourin' out my whole heart

Now it's hard for me to care

When I know I'm just a resource on somebody's chart

Staring at a corporate ladder I can't climb

Contributing to milestones

And ******** baselines

10 hours a day wasting time

Tryna cut fat from my company's waist line

I want ya'll to listen

They spend 50K just to save 50 million

They hire me to cut labor and divisions

Less for you, less for your children

You ever thought about when you'll be outta here?

Nice job, nice car, still outta here

Middle management downsized and outta here

That's some **** I ain't tryna here

****ajob! For real!

****ajob! For real!

Like this

I've seen a lot of people come and go

Seen a lot of people sit around complain about dough

Seen people get hired and get a new car braggin'

Money got tight then I seen 'em brown baggin'

Seen people hired for jobs I wouldn't touch

While I've been denied for job I really want

I've seen cats get promoted and demoted like chumps

Lose confidence and resign the next month

I've seen people _______ 'cuz they got bad reviews

Walk into your cube and start interrogating you

20 questions, arguing, *****in'

Mad about the money you make in your position

I've seen women with kids stay in one spot

I've seen women without kids rise to the top

I've seen 'em cuddle and buddy up with managers

Then seen the same women move up the ladder

I've seen women stand still when they work twice as hard

While men work half as hard and get twice as far

For real!

**** that job!

Some ******** anyway

Tired of this ****

Workin' for these mother ******s

**** them

Tired of this ****

5 days a week

Dedicated and ****

Get out my face

Why? WHY?

"Did this change you? This close up involvement with the judicial system, with these character, uh, seeing what they're going through and trying to capture their lives?"

"Absolutely, I mean, you know, you see, you see clips on the news um about what's going on in the inner city or what's going on with people who are disenfranchised and, you know. But when you get up close to people's lives that are really have so many obstacles against them it's a very emotional experience. And certainly it puts things in your own life very much in perspective."
