"Career" lyrics

"Career"

Career
He went and got a career

He sold all of his paints and bought a phone plan
He wanted someone to show everyone
He wasn't slow though, got it for low low
Ditched his friends, went with the flow

Said hard work is its own reward
Bought a silk tie and an '09 Ford
Career

He put all his ambitions inside a basket
From the cradle to the casket
Put away such childish things
Father Ray said, "Son"

"You'll go far if you know the score"
Bought a silk tie and an '09 Ford
Career

He went and got a career
C-C-C-C

Said hard work is its own reward
Bought a silk tie and an '09 Ford

Once used to be the enemy of the bourgeoisie
Now he's actioning transactions ASAP

He went and got a career
C-C-C-C
