I Rock
I Rock -Open Mike Eagle
In the night
It is insulting
'Cause I can't rap for my job job job job job
I'd quit this bullsh*t
But I can't live like a slob slob slob slob slob
The way I want to baby
Swimming in hip hop hip hop hip
I want to sing for you
And show you how I rock
My situation's kinda dire
Because I'm one of the livest rhymers
That's also a nine to fiver
I gotta wait until nighttime
To rhyme in ciphers
My supervisor's always
Asking why my eyes are tired
I thank God I'm not a firefighter
'Cause every morning I drink coffee
'Til I'm nice and wired
It keeps me up until lunchtime
And then I eat but the niggeritis is unkind
I fell asleep at a red light one time
In front of middle schoolers
On an afternoon bus ride
I'm unsigned
So that's how it is sometimes
Wishing I could punch
My card with a punch line
It is insulting
'Cause I can't rap for my job job job job job
I'd quit this bullsh*t
But I can't live like a slob slob slob slob slob
The way I want to baby
Swimming in hip hop hip hop hip
I want to sing for you
And show you how I rock
Every night something's crackin'
From regular grungy rapping
To underground funk and dancing
I put my best foot first
On Monday nights with Blaque
Whole Suns at the good hurt
I go to work then I rap at night
And so my Tuesday appetite's
Satisfied at Raggsta Nites
I've seen more rump than an a**doctor
On Wednesday nights with
Tommy Blak at the Grasshopper
Or I could roll to the Lower End
If I can't pay the toll
I gotta ask
No again
Thursday's work day
You already knowing kid
I'm a juice board member and a blowedian
Night
My Friday night yearning hunger
Is curbed with serving suckers
And herbs at the Urban Underground
Hear the sound of a tired rapper
Down the street in Chinatown at the Firecracker
It is insulting
'Cause I can't rap for my job job job job job
I'd quit this bullsh*t
But I can't live like a slob slob slob slob slob
The way I want to baby
Swimming in hip hop hip hop hip
I want to sing for you
And show you how I rock
