Shit Jobs for Rock
Navigating Life's Grind: Shit Jobs, Rock, and the Struggle
Lyrics
can i get a witness that i'm trying?
Struggling and seeking acknowledgment for effort.
because so much of this living is dying
Highlighting the challenges and hardships of life.
white trash motherfucker but you know i ain't racist
Rejecting racial bias despite a rough background.
you want to talk beer your gonna have to talk cases
Discussing the need to discuss serious matters instead of trivial ones like beer.
suck another Guinness down to the foam
Consuming a Guinness and referencing a carefree attitude.
drunk or sober no joke on the microphone
Expressing the ability to perform well whether intoxicated or sober.
and sometimes you gotta ease the pain with illegal drugs
Using illegal drugs to cope with life's difficulties.
cause you know the road of life is filled with hardships 'cause
Acknowledging the challenges on the journey of life.
don't want to make this life seem glamorous cause it's not
Rejecting the idea that the artist's life is glamorous.
working shit jobs just to play rock
Working undesirable jobs to pursue a passion for rock music.
be who you are not what you're not
Encouraging authenticity and being true to oneself.
meditating in bars to write hip-hop
Using meditation in bars as a source of inspiration for creating hip-hop.
you know i'm on like level z of moon patrol
Referencing a video game to convey being on an advanced level.
i take the mic and i take control
Seizing control when holding the microphone.
and from the 'fax to the 'hamp to the 'loin
Naming locations and suggesting life lessons are unavoidable.
you know there's lessons in life that you can't avoid
Stressing the inevitability of facing life lessons.
like when your backs to the wall man it's hard to get a vision
Describing the difficulty of envisioning a way out when facing challenges.
i spent my time as a hobart technichian
Recalling a past role as a technician in Hobart.
and you now when you're down they never heard of you
Not being recognized during challenging times.
but when you're coming up, it's like they want to murder you
Experiencing increased attention and challenges when achieving success.
