[Verse]
Saw a beggar with a stagger, wobblin' like Jenga,
Torn-up sneakers, feet singin' an acapella banger.
He reached out his hand, fingers all spaghetti,
I shook my head, drove off in my Chevy.
[Chorus]
"Get a job," I yelled, window halfway down,
Left him in the dust, wearin' a frown.
Get a job, get a job, that’s my advice,
But his side-eye cut sharper than a Ginsu slice.
[Verse 2]
He was leanin' on the corner, like a pizza box tower,
I rolled my eyes, said, "Man, find some power."
He mumbled back, words scrambled like eggs,
I sped off, tires spinnin', kickin' dirt at his legs.
[Chorus]
"Get a job," I yelled, with my stereo thumpin',
He waved at me, but I wasn’t budgin’ or jumpin’.
Get a job, get a job, I kept my tone,
While he just stood there, like a public payphone.
[Bridge]
But then I hit a red light, had time to reflect,
His stare in my rearview, a mirror of neglect.
Maybe I judged quick, maybe I don’t know,
What it’s like to walk miles with no place to go.
[Chorus]
"Get a job," I yelled, but it echoed back,
Felt hollow, like a drum with a paper-thin smack.
Get a job, get a job, but who am I to say?
Maybe we all stumble in our own way.
