[Verse 1: KJ-52] I met this dude one night right up at the door Said kind of rude "who are you what you looking for?" I said "nobody it's the stage that I’m heading toward I’m on in 5 its about to rain bust a pour My name’s on the page the same on the board Can I go in this way plus I’m on the tour I'm KJ I rhyme and plus do it for the Lord" He said "not tonight" and went and slammed up the door I’m like oh no everything’s a no go Standing in the rain my cell phone like no no Scratching my brain like I'm stuck out my own show Want to complain 'til a fan was like "Oh, yo" And then he rolled up, began to walk Said "I've been listening to you since DC Talk Can you sign all the CDs that I got? TobyMac, you're the best, man, you really rock!" If I had stayed at that flower shop I could’ve been a manager but now What you think about that, what you think about that? Oh what am I to do Probably should’ve went right back to school [Chorus: Sean C. Johnson] Just like momma said oh just like momma said I should’ve never quit my day job I should’ve never quit my day job I should’ve never quit my day job I should’ve never quit my day job [Verse 2: KJ-52] Sometimes I wonder what I'm rapping for First I’m Eminem now I'm Macklemore They box you up they wanna stick you in a category I'm never stuck I dodge the bull like a matador Stank eye walking in the door Rap game Larry Bird but I’m in another sport I break ankles and I shatter boards And build a ladder to the God that I’m rapping for But they never ever seem to get it, though Some say I'm tobyMac, others thought I'm Mineo Some think I'm only wack others think I'm criminal Stuck up in the middle like rap game little bro Standing here feeling like a jerk Holding a pose with a fan till my hands hurt Cause her man can never make the cam work While they holding up another rappers fan shirt If I was still a traffic cop Could be working homicide but now What you think about that what you think about that? I should’ve never quit my day job I should’ve never quit my day job Now straight off people think I’m straight odd Cause I praise God and rapping is my day job I'm sitting on plane waiting just to take off Dude trying to guess what I do but he way off First I'm a DJ now I'm just a drummer Says KJ-fifty-two, that's a funny number I been doing this like 20 summers I took the diss but I reminisce kind of wonder What if I never quit my day job? Just pulled a 9 to 5 trying to get my cake off Would the ones that you saved would’ve strayed off I'd rather struggle in the will of God then lay off Hate all well you can say that I Straight soft Life is a game and I’m gunning for the playoffs So I’m glad to say I never quit my day job And I’ll never be ashamed or try to play God If I had stayed at that flower shop I could’ve been a manager but now What you think about that what you think about that? Oh what am I to do Probably should’ve went right back to school [Chorus: Sean C. Johnson] Just like momma said oh just like momma said I should’ve never quit my day job I should’ve never quit my day job I should’ve never quit my day job I should’ve never quit my day job [Verse 3: Sean C. Johnson] Hello Miss Johnson Will paper or plastic be ok Ok Yes, yes still working on the music thank you Thank you for asking Ok, I won't quit my day job, thank you ma'am You need help with these to the car? No? Ok, well you have a nice day, Miss Johnson, ok I hate this job
