Calvin's Got A Job Lyrics
Feeling like Calvin when he got that job
Like bad girl Riri when she got that bob
Like the first black girl in the white school
Like the first rap artist to make the news
Like the first interracial kiss on the screen
Like Martin Luther King around the time he had a dream
Like 2 Chainz around the time he stop tippin
Or like DMX if only he stop slippin

Caught trippin riding dirty off some LSD
Then the police pull us over try to question me
I’m trying not to laugh, as polite as I can be,
Like,
“Can I be of service public servant, I mean officer of law
By my demeanor, you should see that I’m a well to do n****”
Code switch up on par,
With obama on the court and in the courtyard of the white house
See benevolence was never the virtue I held close

Now I
Feel like Calvin when he got that job
Like bad girl Riri when she got that bob
Like the first black girl in the white school
Like the first rap artist to make the news
Like the first interracial kiss on the screen
Like Martin Luther King around the time he had a dream
Like 2 Chainz aroudn the time he stop tippin
Or like DMX if only he stop slippin

Now I applaud the man who kept the straight face for the toast
Let’s talk winnings
I’m not grinning for the fame
We in it for the long game, let’s talk innings
I turn squares to diamonds when I “Rob Base”, Jackson beat,
Then I proceed to plead my case
Life is laced with red tapes and lines to weave through
We signed over rights and decided to see our life in three tangents
Knowing we the people need more than 8 hours to dream
And more than one ____ for the scheme
I mean every word I say
This here’s another track laid on the road out the underground
You tryna be chosen, I wanna be found
You tryna be teach’d, but I wanna know now
How the fuck am I supposed to hear you when I..

Feeling like Calvin when he got that job
Like bad girl Riri when she got that bob
Like the first black girl in the white school
Like the first rap artist to make the news
Like the first interracial kiss on the screen
