[Verse 1] I punched in late with a grin on my face Tie on crooked, still own my place Boss talk slick, I talk back sweet Got a little fire in my loafers and feet My mama said, "Boy, keep your head up high" I keep my name clean, let the rumors fly They want tame hands, I got holy unrest Clean suit, dirty thoughts, truth in my chest I slide through the lobby like I own the hall Pocket full of plans and a folded call Taboo on my tongue, but I taste that risk Moonlight manners with a move like this [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crowd? I'm on my feet One step, then the whole thing leans Hands up, baby, don't look away I'm clocked in now, but I came to play [Chorus] Got a job, got a job I’m too alive to stop Got a job, got a job And I’m shaking up the block Got a job, got a job Say my name, make it pop Got a job, got a job I don’t clock out, I glow up [Verse 2] Cash in the drawer and the cards all bent Hearts on the table, where the trouble went She like my grin and the way I talk Two-step smooth when I take that walk I got a mouth like a velvet blade Cut so fine, never leaves a shade Metaphors hit like a brass parade Sweet on the surface, but the debt get paid They say "behave," I say "watch me then" I bend the rulebook, fold it again Philly on the left, Motown on the right Jazzy in the daytime, nasty at night [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crowd? I'm on my feet One step, then the whole thing leans Hands up, baby, don't look away I'm clocked in now, but I came to play [Chorus] Got a job, got a job I’m too alive to stop Got a job, got a job And I’m shaking up the block Got a job, got a job Say my name, make it pop Got a job, got a job I don’t clock out, I glow up [Bridge] [Strings swell] My whole life tried to box me in I turned that pressure into rhythm and grin If you want clean lines, I’m a bad bet If you want truth with the shine, I’m the best you get [Final Chorus] Got a job, got a job I’m too alive to stop Got a job, got a job And I’m shaking up the block Got a job, got a job Say my name, make it pop Got a job, got a job I don’t clock out, I glow up [Outro] Got a job Yeah, I said it Got a job And I meant it
