[Skit: Father Jerry] The hoodlum and the gangster is looked up to with the same respect as the successful businessman or the popular hero [Intro] Ladies and gentleman La- La- Ladies and gentleman La- La- Ladies and gentleman La- La- Ladies and gentleman [Verse 1] Times that make you mad, say forget that Bills that pay your loans, you have to pay back Jobs are work but never did money grow on trees So stop bitching in times like these It’s getting’ thick like quicksand and you’re gettin’ deeper Step into the corner livin’ off of your beeper Thinkin’ you’re large affordin’ 40’s or old gold But that’s all it’s worth cause your money is drug sold Can’t buy a car with a [?] They said once that the money be traced by the Feds And I see where you’re comin’ from, nowhere but going fast You need a job kid cause it won’t last What does it take to go down and fill out a form? Less than it would lookin’ out if the corner’s warm Who gives a damn about what a drug dealer did? No one but you, you need a job kid! [Chorus] Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Be respectful! Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? [Verse 2] You’re supposed to have money, but where do ya live In the house with your mommy or one of your kids? You would pay the rent if you could tell your mom You do make the money but you don’t have a job You slackin’ on stuff with no plan for your future [?] is thought in your life as a moocher Getting caught by the cops is an everyday lifestyle And criminal livin’s livin’ low by a long mile Soon you’ll get caught, you’ll be out in the cold Sportin’ your chains and your fat rings of gold Bills to be paid and no money to pay them No kind of job and no check will be waitin’ Security you don’t have, won’t have and didn’t need I do believe you still have mouths to feed Any man’s whim by the highest man’s bid Lemme tell ya, you need a job kid [Chorus] Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Be respectful! Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? [Verse 3] Sellin’ crack just to make a dolla’ flow Killin’ life to make profit is a no go Makin’ more funds than the average man And said to hell with school when you came up with the plan Who’s foolin’ who? Whose system are you tryin’ to jerk? You need a job kid, you better go to work Ain’t nothin’ funny ‘bout the life that you choose It’s like the game of life, you either win or you lose You got props only cause you’re makin’ money, see? (A real man) No, just a wax sellin’ wannabe You got a lot to learn, you got a life to earn Got your [?] on your back cause you got money to burn Burn at will and well locked in a jail cell Cloud number 9, rich and to hell you fell Wasn’t a dream, live or either dare to live, you did so You need a job kid [Chorus] Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Be respectful! Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Be respectful! Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job? Why don’t you get a job?
