Work Lyrics by Shad

TAO

2021

[Intro: Shad]
Work
Work
Work
Work

[Chorus: Shad]
Looking for a job, man
Looking for a job, man
They say that even Steve Jobs can't
Find a machine that I could be a cog in
This is a problem
I’m trying to leave it in God's hands, God's plan
But even God’s fam was literally out on a limb like (God damn)

[Verse 1: Shad]
Looking for a job, man
Looking for a job, man
I heard there's too much supply, it's like a log jam
Be your own boss, then
Make your own lane and don't make an off-ramp
Or your gig goes offshore as sure as that off-brand cough syrup put 'em in coffins
Like “Peace,” no peace
Maybe I'll sleep when I'm deceased
Maybe it'll cease when I’m asleep
Maybe I should keep what I can keep
Talk is chеap, I should know, given that I rap for what I eat
Everyonе knows I could eat they food but I need insurance for my teeth
I need versatile , personal
Income streams  that’s purposeful
Suckers work for money you should make your money work for you
I can't get no work though guess that means that I got some work to do
The poor can’t afford to look poor so I gotta make sure the shoes and shirt is new
'Cause I'm (looking for a job)

[Chorus: Shad]
Looking for a job, man
They say that even Steve Jobs can't
Find a machine that I could be a cog in
This is a problem
Everybody knows and, nobody is solving
Somebody told me stop in the shop and talk to the boss, just on the off-chance

[Verse 2: Shad]
Looking for a job man
Looking for a job man
I will do anything, I’ll get it popping
I need a hot dance, Popcaan
I need a pop jam, I need some Robyn
Don't need no off-hand comments
I need some rest on some soft sand
Peace, I'm not a man, I am a workhorse
I am a part of the workforce
I'm just not sure of the person or purpose I work for (Psst)
Maybe this voice inside that keeps telling me "Work more
Hurt more , perform
Give up my wife and my first-born "
Wait, I'm not a man, not 'til I manage my estate
I am the output I create, after the info I intake
What if I'm fake? What if I break?
What if my model's obsolete and gets tossed in a heap and gets washed in the sheets wanna walk on the beach and take off for a week but I'm job seeking

[Chorus: Shad]
Looking for a job, man
Looking for a job, man
They say that even Steve Jobs can't
Find a machine that I could be a cog in
This is a problem
I'm trying to leave it in God's hands, God's plan
But even God's fam was literally out on a limb like (God damn)

[Outro: Shad]
Looking for a job, man
Looking for a job
