lyrics

Now to get what you want, you gotta know what you like
and to know what you need, to be without a night
or day, or a week or a… get what I’m sayin’?
more beauty in the skies once the clouds stop rainin’
to know what you deserve, you gotta know what your worth
the worthwhile’s inside, ain’t gotta go on a search
ain’t gonna find it in love, ain’t gonna find it in church
what you find behind your eyes; it’s where you gotta look first

check it out, I got a story for ya

The scene opens
Workers outside smokin’
Boss on his way inside, eyes scopin’
Ladies on the rise, tryin’ to keep they smiles golden
He takes it the wrong and thinks the sign says open
guys in the workplace tryin’ to hide they hurt face
Tryin’ to figure why they took the job in the first place
the women too_ hidden but it’s true
The only time they let a cry… is in the swimmin’ pool
“It’s just the chlorine” - you see the bull like taurine
they have dreams under ground, not soaring
now bring it back, you gotta know what you’re worth
or you’ll be taken for bizarre rides goin’ berserk
now you gotta be wonderin’, “why’s this song on a sextape?”
talkin’ ‘bout jobs, wrong turns people can make
so whether at a job, politics or relationships
you gotta see when you’re getting’ fucked…so why you takin’ it

now… that sample’s just a manner of speaking, not that any way an individual chooses to enjoy they’re sexuality is wrong. unless, of course, it’s down right dangerous, unconsented, or a case of indecent exposure
so really, you gotta know what’s healthy, too. Have fun, but take care of yourself. Just be safe and responsible, and it’s all good.

But back to the boss tryin’ to take a smile the wrong way
Getting’ mad confused as if women dressed in cosplay
Meant it gave ‘em access to brushes in the hallway
Little does he know that it’s about to blow like pompei
It’s all fair play and some innocent jokes
Until you realize the weight of the bitter invoked
by the magnitude of attitude that said it inappropes
and the repercussions that’l have your back against the ropes, now
women, I understand when you’re tryin’ to scrape by
and your boss has the power so you let ‘em just skate by
but girl you ain’t alone, know you got us on stand bye
so cut out the fools who will watch and stand bye
maybe job’s on the line, but so is their livelihood
it’s time we let ‘em know in certain terms like, now are we good?
Cuz if we’re not we can go about two ways
Get the law involved or bring the light on your true face
