I Rock - Open Mike Eagle.mp3

[00:00.00]I Rock -Open Mike Eagle
[00:00.285]In the night
[00:03.326]It is insulting
[00:05.27]'Cause I can't rap for my job job job job job
[00:08.752]I'd quit this bullshit
[00:10.36]But I can't live like a slob slob slob slob slob
[00:14.111]The way I want to baby
[00:16.202]Swimming in hip hop hip hop hip
[00:19.165]I want to sing for you
[00:20.967]And show you how I rock
[00:23.472]My situation's kinda dire
[00:25.18]Because I'm one of the livest rhymers
[00:26.725]That's also a nine to fiver
[00:28.411]I gotta wait until nighttime
[00:30.41]To rhyme in ciphers
[00:30.954]My supervisor's always
[00:32.269]Asking why my eyes are tired
[00:34.368]I thank God I'm not a firefighter
[00:36.340]'Cause every morning I drink coffee
[00:37.767]'Til I'm nice and wired
[00:39.676]It keeps me up until lunchtime
[00:41.626]And then I eat but the niggeritis is unkind
[00:44.598]I fell asleep at a red light one time
[00:46.797]In front of middle schoolers
[00:47.802]On an afternoon bus ride
[00:49.856]I'm unsigned
[00:50.620]So that's how it is sometimes
[00:52.260]Wishing I could punch
[00:53.312]My card with a punch line
[00:56.657]It is insulting
[00:58.138]'Cause I can't rap for my job job job job job
[01:02.05]I'd quit this bullshit
[01:03.335]But I can't live like a slob slob slob slob slob
[01:07.393]The way I want to baby
[01:09.565]Swimming in hip hop hip hop hip
[01:12.519]I want to sing for you
[01:14.375]And show you how I rock
[01:16.995]Every night something's crackin'
[01:18.689]From regular grungy rapping
[01:20.174]To underground funk and dancing
[01:22.632]I put my best foot first
[01:24.551]On Monday nights with Blaque
[01:25.532]Whole Suns at the good hurt
[01:26.961]I go to work then I rap at night
[01:29.72]And so my Tuesday appetite's
[01:30.698]Satisfied at Raggsta Nites
[01:32.993]I've seen more rump than an a**doctor
[01:35.54]On Wednesday nights with
[01:36.39]Tommy Blak at the Grasshopper
[01:38.444]Or I could roll to the Lower End
[01:40.334]If I can't pay the toll
[01:41.548]I gotta ask
[01:42.267]No again
[01:42.937]Thursday's work day
[01:44.355]You already knowing kid
[01:45.865]I'm a juice board member and a blowedian
[01:48.148]Night
[01:48.709]My Friday night yearning hunger
[01:50.568]Is curbed with serving suckers
[01:52.68]And herbs at the Urban Underground
[01:54.599]Hear the sound of a tired rapper
[01:56.631]Down the street in Chinatown at the Firecracker
[02:00.735]It is insulting
[02:02.129]'Cause I can't rap for my job job job job job
[02:05.958]I'd quit this bullshit
[02:07.348]But I can't live like a slob slob slob slob slob
[02:11.310]The way I want to baby
[02:13.486]Swimming in hip hop hip hop hip
[02:16.450]I want to sing for you
[02:18.299]And show you how I rock
