Odd Job

Yo man (what?)
 Yo man, wake up man
 Ugh leave me alone
 No, wake up, it's time to go to work, yo
 I don't wanna go, come on man
 Come on man, it's time to go to work
 Ugh
 Brothers (what up) are we lovers of pleasure or of God? (God)
 If not then let's cross to the other side
 Sisters (yes) do a check
 For self-respect (check)
 Don't sell it for wealth and regret
 Families (what up, yes) pray together, stay together
 Brave the elements of weather, whether it's sunshine or rain
 Do that thing like it's your day job
 Work it overtime, over time let's make 'em praise God
 When they look, they're shook
 They're like, "Where'd you get your wisdom from?
 I bet it's from that book", 'cause we don't point to us
 We stay pointed up, this is how God appointed us to live
 He entrusts His kids with a road map to peace
 'Cause the streets is like the Middle East
 A beast, but He teaches us to say no
 To the desires that rage like fires in our souls
 Then He goes and shows us what's best
 And He gives us His mind to help us say yes
 He tells us stay blessed
 To walk in the light
 To live like it's day, and not get lost in the night
 He helps us to desire what we should
 And protects us like a fence unless it's all good
 Now you can climb His barbed wire
 And get scared by it but how's that gonna make 'em lift God higher?

 Pac made it cool to be a thug
 Why not be the one to make 'em say, "I can make it cool to be in love with God"
 Or "Pop ain't no fool he put his trust in God"
 Even when I was in school I put in plugs for God
 Back then it was hard to try to find
 The balance between the daily and the divine (but now?)
 Now I find that it's just one of those things
 For the Christian those two are one in the same
 It's not something we construct ourselves
 Scripture instructs us how to conduct ourselves
 We're still human beings
 We're still humans seeing and doing as humans do, it's just our views are changing
 We don't laugh at all the jokes
 Especially when the hope that we hold is called a hoax
 No club and bed hoppin'
 It's tough not to sin when you're constantly breaking your neck watchin 'em
 I know, she ain't have to where them jeans like that
 But that don't mean we gotta stare all at her seems like that
 It seems like that's the hardest part of all
 Is how to stand strong after standing for the altar call
 But we gotta learn to say no, not that we rockin' halos
 Sometimes we gotta lay low and learn to stay on our J.O
 We gotta learn to say no, not that we rockin' halos
 Sometimes we gotta lay low and learn to stay on our J.O

 Now you can clock out but I'm punching mines
 Hard workers are getting' harder to find
 Like it's quarter to lunchtime
 But I know some, they ain't livin' ho-hum they go gung-ho for the Son
 It's not an question of going to work or not
 Tell 'em Tonic, when you're heavenly minded it's the only choice you got
 And Ambassador told us Christ soldiers
 Like rolling with Him now no more wait 'til this life's over
 Truth gave a shout to my Christians in school
 That had decided to be more Christian than cool
 And sometimes when you're livin' the truth
 You don't have to say a word 'cause your life is the livin' proof
 That's Badia Jeter, I think she said it the sweetest
 I'm a spokesmodel on the runway for Jesus
 See, our job
 Is to find life and define life without going outside of our God (that's why)
 I go to work, like it's 9 a.m.
 Trying hard to find me a friend who reminds me of Him
 Be distinct, don't let the lines blend
 To where they can't tell where you start and the carnal mind ends
 Brothers (what up?)
 Sisters (yes? Check)
 Families (yeah)
