The Job is a Mother by Rainbow Rapper Lyrics
The job is a mother so you gotta be cool
'Cause whoever has the gold gonna make the rule
Those who know me, they know me well
But for those who don't they can go to hell
On Saturday, the boy's out to play
While Dad's at the track losing his pay
Yeah, your mama's at home, she's cooking her meal
While the daughter's downtown tryin' play the field
She's fooling around as best she can
And thinkin' that she'll get a better man
While her money's tight, she can't sleep at night
Drеam of robbin' a bank, you don't do it right
Now Monday comes and you get out of bed
Thеn you walk around, you try to clear your head
You brush your teeth, wash your face, comb your hair
Try to figure out just what you're gonna wear
You brag on yourself, say you got game
But from the way you look it's a goddog shame
You got no man and you got no money
But the fellas around say you got sweet honey
The blacker the berry the sweeter the juke
They say you know how to bust it loose
Yeah Friday comes and you get that pay
You take a look, you have nothing to say
It's just enough to get me that bread
But when it comes to the bills you know you're not ahead
You're always bragging how much you make
Yet you can't even buy a pair of skates
You got a van, you got a Seville
But when lunch comes you can't buy a meal
You're broke - you ain't got no money
Sittin' at your desk, yeah, lookin' funny
You're thinkin' of the things you could have done
If you wouldn't have spent your check out havin' fun
You borrow money and that's a fact
Even though you know you won't pay it back
They ask you what you did on the weekend
You tell 'em "Hey, I went partyin'"
They smile in your face and stab you in the back
They ain't your friends and that's a fact
A child was born on the 4th of May
Which as you know was one hell of a day
Weeks go by, turn into years
While your belly gets bigger from drinking beers
You say you're broke yet you buy that coke
Yeah drinking booze and smoking dope
You're always buying things you don't need
Like a little blow and a little weed
Like Eddie Murphy without a joke
Like Cheech and Chong without some smoke
Like Hercules without a big muscle
Like a hustler that cannot hustle
Like Muhammad Ali without his lip
Like Richard Pryor not bein' a trip
Like Howard Cosell without his wig
Like Incredible Hulk not being big
Like Atomic Dog without his tail
Like the postal service not having the mail
Like Romeo without Juliet
Like taking a bath and not getting wet
Like 36-24-36
Like a junkie and his habit without a fix
Like sleeping on a bench, not being cold
Like the president not being old
Like ridin' in your car without some gas
Like Bertha Butt without some...
Like Yogi Bear without a big belly
Like a peanut butter sandwich without some jelly
Like Morris Day not being cool
Like Minnesota Fats not shooting pool
Like Jesse James not robbing a train
Like Superman without Lois Lane
Like Mr. T not being mean
Like the color of money not being green
Like a young playboy not knowing the game
Like hearing my voice and not knowing my name
I'm the Rainbow Rapper and I'm here to say
We're gonna party hearty each and every day
So go to school, don't be no fool
Until the next time we meet, don't be no fool
Get down!
'Cause whoever has the gold gonna make the rule
Those who know me, they know me well
But for those who don't they can go to hell
On Saturday, the boy's out to play
