Need a Job

Need a Job I’m just a young man trying to make it out here Struggles and danger I’m trying to steer clear Just out of high school, baby on the way Oops, I was in love what can I say My girl is always crying we gotta take care of the baby She says it’s definitely yours, not a maybe I’m trying to present and represent myself to get this jam Chillin out thinking of all the times in school I didn’t do my best and oh dam lacking in skills I am Trying to complete this paperwork for 7.25 an hour Definitely not a job of power It aint easy to get this jank Experience, education I have to leave blank Driving on fumes thinking of a plan Gotta be a man can’t grandstand That won’t put bread in my pocket Still trying to avoid being on a court docket
