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? 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 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 Brothers (what up) are we lovers of pleasure or of God?
