Deuces
So recently I said deuces to a job I was at
Met a lot of great people, but wasn't for me
This track is about why
I said deuces
Yeah I’m finally getting out
I said deuces
This the day I dreamed about
I said deuces
I don’t think I need that
I said deuces
There’s no way I’m going back
I remember being broke all I thought about was money
But once you start making it there’s more to life than money
I’ve seen smart people lie just to make a little money
But one thing that don’t lie is the cold hard money
It was feeling like the army don’t ask don’t tell
We didn’t have to work but we were paid so well
Oh well I guess a lot people would have stayed
But I’m like Nip see I got hustle in my DNA
So I checked how much I had saved in my BOA
Had enough to leave so why was I there anyway?
Let me tell you a story that’s been lingering on my mind
I got a bonus in my email I took it as a sign
I got $100 but the taste was bittersweet
Cause I been working double-time every single week
That’s a rounding error
So what is that to me?
I make that in an hour
So what is that to me?
I said deuces
Yeah I’m finally getting out
I said deuces
This the day I dreamed about
I said deuces
I don’t think I need that
I said deuces
There’s no way I’m going back
I’m fine with people chilling at a job and not working
But why we gotta promote the people that ain’t putting work in
My 10 cents this meant discontentment always lurking
I felt like my coworkers: this isn’t working
This whole org was top-heavy that’s the way it goes
When people hire people under them to fill in roles
That they could do themselves but they too lazy to do it (Wow)
Cause a lotta people love to talk about it but not do it
I’m talking about work
I’m talking about shipping
I’m talking about the difference
Between passion and commitment
Passion gets you started
But commitments get you through
If you gotta a lot passion but no commitment then where are you?
You got an org that start, but never sees things through
You got an org that loves meetings more than they love to do
You got an org that keeps growing but keeps doing less
Now you know why I just up and left
I said deuces
Yeah I’m finally getting out
I said deuces
This the day I dreamed about
I said deuces
I don’t think I need that
I said deuces
There’s no way I’m going back
