They'll never like me,
They'll never like me, I, yeah
Got the new job but it ain't my speed
Run me down when my walk is free
They'll never like me, I, no
They'll never like me, I, yeah
I guess I sided with my father,
workin' at his pizza pile
I wash the dishes, foldin' boxes,
and takin' people's
Back when all the phones were corded,
you know
When Desert Storm,
they beggin' parents for some Jordans
Unaware it short the mortgage
before sixth grade
I had a job to be paid,
wakin' up at six
On the weekdays was a bitch,
they had me in the sticks
Throwin' paper on the steps of the rich
Every step I was takin' felt
like less than an inch
So I quit, and stayed with
Pop's mowin' lawn
since the pilot had gone out of business
and this was just the way
he moved on
though every day he would
wake with a yawn
that I know was way dif ferent
Come a little time but it ain't my speed
Run me down when my walk is free
They'll never like me, I don't
They'll never like me, I,
Come a little time but it ain't my speed
Run me down when my walk is free
They'll never like me, I don't
They'll never lock me up again
I guess you gotta work
just as work permits
At 14, sure thing,
you can work with a work permit
All clean, over the table,
get paid under if you're able
What I mean is watch your claims
if you work for tip
That advice came from a waiter,
I was bussin' but in training
I was too nice then to take it,
but grew wiser as I waited
Watched the president comment
how to use it for schools
Instead they build another bomber
for the clueless to use
Now I'm out here,
tryna see the buggers there
As these country club members,
who mount them for us to fear
I feel the cops and then I park the cars
And sit and wonder
why the love game is sparses off
Got my little time but it ain't my shade
Run me down when my wall gets free
They'll never like me, I don't care
They'll never like me, I don't care
Got my little time but it ain't my shade
Run me down when my walk is free
They'll never like me, don't care
They'll never like me, I, yeah
Before I learned to have a way
with words and live off it
I cooked, bussed, served,
valeted, dishwashed
I watched and observed
kids play in a maze
Then later walked through the maze
to wash the piss off it
I built homes and ate the trails
Then I pulled weeds,
worked retail
And detailed schedules for special needs
I wore animal noses
And steel -toed boots,
I held hammers and roses
And filled those spoofs
with ice cream
Till my team killed those loops
Called ourselves the Pro -Cussions
Till we lost two
Came back with empty buckets,
gotta fill those two
Always ig noring the hole
that the Phil -Go's threw
Got a little time, but it ain't my speed
Run me down when my walk is free
They'll never like me, I know
They'll never like me, I, yeah
Got my little time but it ain't my speed
Run me down when my walk is free
They'll never like me, I don't
They'll never like me, I,
yeah
They'll never like me,
They'll never like me, I
