36 Cents

It's drivin' me insane Just finished snorin' Just finished snorin' The time say five-thirty in the mornin' Tired of this job why I gotta do this Tired of this job why I gotta do this Had the highest evaluation that they done gave But the thirty-six cents they gave they called it a raise I just wanna smack em in the face when they try and say That the thirty-six cents I got was the highest anyway Somehow I'm able to keep myself calm Though I smile at em and put on lip balm Start thinkin' about lyrics from a new song Or the next woman wanna see in the thong Cuz when the beat drop I transform From a man form into a sandstorm With these lyrics I'm directin' my own movie I'm my own boss women call me more than cutie Music isn't just music it's just what I be callin' home People wonder what was on my mind as this was goin' on It doesn't matter what state I perform in public People comin' up to me and tell me that they love it Cali, Philly, NYC Forget my home state nah New Jersey I ain't got a band or crew it's just me A job can't put a real value on me A company could do with thousands and a few hundred I've done the same off pennies and I be blunted So tell me who it is who really got the talent Cuz a brother got a grip on this like an eagle's talon When I'm not workin' I'm up at six-thirty Sun ain't even out and the sky is murky Puttin in that work upgradin' as a wizard When it's showtime my demeanor is a blizzard So I step into new avenues of music People feel uncomfortable and I can prove it So I get me a message from our mutual friend About a business situation we both in Ten months ago I told my mom's you'd back out Ten months ago I told my bro you'd back out Oh you didn't know that that was gonna happen but I did I seen it happen for real Thirty-six It ain't a Jersey Thirty-six I ain't worthy
