Clocked in. Five minutes early Twelve hour shift, every day that I'm workin' I really need the check otherwise I'm back in debt Plus I need to cop some speakers and a microphone to flex I got music in my soul and a mind full of bars That I'm tryna break out something like Frederick Mors So I'll smile for these people and I'll file all these papers Meanwhile I'm daydreaming and plotting on major capers The worlds best finesse would be me making it So that I can bring it back for my city's patronage So patiently, this desk job will have to pay for me Another couple forms in my hands, I staple it Thinking of the drums that Katana's made for me Used to be Jay and me, closing every night faithfully Then crafting Dream Sequence after work hastily All the while my mom would open up my door and say to me Don't quit ya day job, don't take a day off You got rent to make and student loans to pay off And if you don't pay it where you plan to stay at? Your head too in the clouds, you're too far from famous Don't quit ya day job, don't take a day off You got rent to make and student loans to pay off And if you don't pay it where you plan to stay at? Your head too in the clouds, you're too far from famous Clocked in. Half hour late Another long night, still trying to regulate The shows come more often and I'm tryna be great But my coworkers hate because you guessed it, I'm late Rubbing sleep out my eyes, liquor on my breath Getting ready for another 12 hours at the desk I don't wanna be here, rather be at the crib That I just started renting with my two best friends But that's not an option so I sit at my computer Auditing forms while trying to bust maneuvers Making art for FreeVibe Friday's and trying not to get caught They may pay for my time but passion cannot be bought I come home every night just tired and overwhelmed Changing out my uniform for something fresh as hell I got another show and I need to get there hastily All the while Jason comes up to say to me Don't quit ya day job, don't take a day off You got rent to make and student loans to pay off And if you don't pay it where you plan to stay at? Your head too in the clouds, you're too far from famous Don't quit ya day job, don't take a day off You got rent to make and student loans to pay off And if you don't pay it where you plan to stay at? Your head too in the clouds, you're too far from famous Missed punch. Missed call from Ebonee It's past lunch. And I'm still in bed asleep All my nights moonlighting that run me into sun up Colliding with the moods fighting whenever demons run up Shaking my foundation, I leave stages feeling empty Driving with my eyes closed, hands off the wheel tempting Spend hours in my driveway, misunderstood, exhausted Can't wait to go to work, where I'm misunderstood, accosted I'm cautious, I'd hate to be fired and burn bridges Especially when I've made a wage that earns living My rap career is just off the ground for the first minute But the checks getting cleared barely pay for furnaces Not answering the calls, I'm fearful of results If I lose this job then I stand to lose it all Anxiety attack springs me out of bed hastily Panicked look in the mirror and this is what I say to me Don't quit ya day job, don't take a day off You got rent to make and student loans to pay off And if you don't pay it where you plan to stay at? Your head too in the clouds, you're too far from famous
