Job

You see the job that we do
It Ain't as good as it seem
You think they really gettin loot
But they sellin a dream
I'm just talkin to you like I'm talking to me
Mirror mirror look at me like what you want me to be?

Mama said to be a doctor what you wanted to be?
You wana turn the lean to water but that talkin is cheap
What a job what a job what you offerin me?
They try to throw me to the game like they offering me Wom

I gota give myself to yall and do it all for the free?
Talkin is cheap and I'm tryna get paid offa these sheets
That's right get offa these sheets, they lost in the street
A dog wit no leash, wtf the point of talkin to me?

I know

They still hating on the south, we the hub now
We only down by two and we gon throw it for a touchdown
The crowd yell, everybody love that one sound
Alpy this is Alpy, y'all gon have to see it run out

I used to know a girl
And she probably would like you too
She promised she would give me anything
If you can gimme you

I built my life around her
I did what I hate to do
But now she a keep her eye right on me wit every single move

Another night in the studio, she think ima cheat
She think I'm fuckin every hoe, I'm only fuckin the beat
Another girl I shoulda dropped, but she know I'm the sweet
They always
Thinkin it's gravy but my plate got no meat
Wom

And it's really all good tho we ain't tryna be down wit y'all anyways
I paid enough homage I learned the game I ain't tryna play
Yall keep the circus going it pays me too
Somebody hada say it fool
The south got more to say

You see the job that we do
It Ain't as good as it seem
You think they really gettin loot
But they sellin a dream
I'm just talkin to you like I'm talking to me
Mirror mirror look at me like what you want me to be?

Mama said to be a doctor what you wanted to be?
You wana turn the lean to water but that talkin is cheap
What a job what a job what you offerin me?
They try to throw me to the game like they offering me Wom

Oh so you wana be a baller, shot caller, Don Dada?
Used to love H.E.R., now he just fuckin the plug daughter
They told me how the dude wit the hair made the sun hotter
All these bitches call em daddy, I only know one father

I needs the paper, the fetti, you know the loot
I found the devil in her legs, it's a blessing talking to you
That's what she said, she turned her head, then she told me that I'm the truth
She put her fingers round my neck
I remember the shade of blue

I was jaded, she was shaded, she was shakin her jewels
I hada pocket full of stones, I was breaking
A move
Makin the rules, you gettin paid, I'm makin some too
She told me everything would change if we escaped to a booth

But I was young, I was dumb, Tryna talk wit my tongue
Conversations wit the moon, like you found a way up?

Made a deal wit her heart, think a part of her stuck
She ain't no ordinary girl
My job is Harder than love
Wom

You see I learned the game from the dead homies and all the cds they left
And I feel like you ain't heard what they told me
I remember locking myself in the car wit no handles
Just to escape the world and hear people I could finally relate to

You see the job that we do
It Ain't as good as it seem
You think they really gettin loot
But they sellin a dream
I'm just talkin to you like I'm talking to me
Mirror mirror look at me like what you want me to be?

Mama said to be a doctor what you wanted to be?
You wana turn the lean to water but that talkin is cheap
What a job what a job what you offerin me?
They try to throw me to the game like they offering me Wom

Silence from here on out
Ain't no other way to put it
The south got more to say mane
Free of the land
Tell me if you wit me
