Rassem Bobo Bopin'

Yo yo yo

Tell it like it is.

Tell it how it be

Errday God damn day..

Tumble outta bed

and stumble to the

kitchen

(That’s where we keep the food)

Ba ba ba ba bum

Pour myself a cup

of ambition

(That’s coffee y’all)

Yawnin’

(Yaaaawn)

stretchin’ and try to come

to life

(Never get enough sleep)

ba ba bum baba bum bum bum

Jump in the

shower and the blood

starts pumpin’

(giggity)

Out

on the

streets, the traffic starts

jumpin’

(And by jumpin’ we mean stallin’)

With folks

like me

(Yes me)

on the job in the

9 2 5

(That’s an area code in the SF East Bay)

ba ba bum baba bum bum bum

Working in da 9 2 5,

That’s the place we

make a

living

(If you can call it that)

Barely gettin’

by,

(I think they call it scrapin’)

it’s all

taking and

no

giving

badabadum

They

just use your

mind and they

never give you

credit

(The only credit you get is at 35%)

badabadum

It’s enough to drive

you crazy if you let

it

(So don’t let it)

ba ba bum baba bum bum bum

Da 9 2 5, 4 service and

devotion

(A dedicated work ethic)

You would think

that I would

deserve a fair

promotion

(I’d settle for an unfair one)

Want to move

a head (giggity)

but the boss won’t

seem to let

Me

(What a sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot)

badabadum

I swear sometimes that

man is out

to get

me

(And who would believe me)

They

let you dream just to

watch them

shatter

(Hope you don’t have to hold your bladder)

You’re just a

step

A step on the boss man’s

ladder

(Time for a career)

But you got

dreams he’ll never take

away

(Keep them high up the career ladder)

In the same

boat with a lot of your

friends

(More unethical management types)

Waiting for the

day your ship will come

in

(Soon it’ll be making another run)

And the tide’s gonna

turn an’ it’s all gonna roll you

away

(Roll away where?)
