Trackademicks lyrics : "Get a Job"
(0:22-
See, back in the day, folks had one career path
But now all these freshmen aint trynta hear that
Been workin' on their resumes ever since second grade
With all these jobs and checks to make, they'll never sit in Section 8
Some'll get a job and quit their first payday
Others pullin' double shifts and run wit it til daybreak
While some got no choice and head for unemployment
Some'll get a job they wanna quit but avoid it
(0:45-
Like, "I aint choose that work, that work chose me
And though it hurts to show up, you know I won't leave"
Yeah, I thought you was the man
But ever since you got a job it spoils all your plans
Can't stay out late cause you gotta wake up early
Forgot about style with a dress code so nerdy
You way too stressed out to be under thirty
You better quit soon and change careers in a hurry..
Hook:
(1:08-1:30)
Quit actin' like you aint grown (Get a Job)
Get the digits and pick up the phone (Get a Job)
Aint no reason to be sittin' at home
Life is too tough to have to make it on your own
Stop actin' like it's gon hurt (Get a Job)
Wash your face and fix up your shirt (Get a Job)
Take out your manners and put away the jerk
It's time to interview so you can get that work.

Verse 2:
(1:31-
Now as a grown man, I've done many positions
Trynta get that money shot, been on many search engines
Lookin' for that HotJob, always Craiglistin'
Gotta use that degree that I got in Trackademicks
I used to be in retail, but that was no fun
Cause it ate all my money every time my check would come
I really liked computers, thought It'd make me happy
But I couldn't stand the feel of that Silicone Valley
(1:54
So I switched it up and got a job in Non-Profit
Never had to trip off wearing ties to the office
Love the pita and hummus, but somethin's kinda odd cause
I always get looks like I'm the devil in my Prada
So now I'm an entrepro, in charge of my livelihood
I set my own hours so you know that my time is good
Top-notch applicants beggin' me to hire 'em
But I'm good for now as a sole proprietor

Quit actin' like you aint grown (Get a Job)
Get the digits and pick up the phone (Get a Job)
Aint no reason to be sittin' at home
Life is too tough to have to make it on your own
Stop actin' like it's gon hurt (Get a Job)
Wash your face and fix up your shirt (Get a Job)
Take out your manners and put away the jerk
It's time to interview so you can get that work.
