Lyrics

NOT ANOTHER J.O.B.
Written by: Louisa Taylor, Jamaal Littles
V1
I've been dreading this thing that we callin
9 to 5 gotta clock in
Trading my time for some paper
Biggest scam they could make up

Pre Chorus
They say work your way to the top
Glass ceiling make your drop
It aint hot no it's not
Living my life on your clock

Chorus
We all need paper, but I need to make it with purpose
Running my own shifts
9 to 5 ain't workin
We all need paper, but I need to make it with purpose
Running my own, another j.o.b ain't worth it
Not Another j.o.b. but purpose
Not Another j.o.b. but purpose
Not Another j.o.b. but purpose
Not another j.o.b

V2
The struggle is real for the ones
Tryna survive but they choking
All get left with the crumbs
When you pay toward their dreams

Pre chorus
They say work your way to the top
Glass ceilings make your drop
It aint hot no it's not
Living my life on your clock

Chorus
We all need paper, but I need to make it with purpose
Running my own shifts 9 to 5 ain't workin
We all need paper, but I need to make it with purpose
Running my own, another j.o.b ain't worth it

V3 Jamaal
Church, we bout to take up an offering (preach reverend)
cuz my life ain't worth that minimum wage that you offering
we leave it to them they gone work us in the coffin and
after we gone hitting our phone like hey you still coming in? (child please)
I don't got time for your nonsense
penny pinching man that's nonsense
while i'm working all the long shifts
money never lasted long cents
i got big big dreams well
i might as well bet on myself, no wishing well, when God is my help, i will not fail, i will prevail

Bridge
I ain’t living my life for you
yea i got things that i gotta do
purposely driven’s my attitude (yea, yea)

Chorus
We all need paper, but I need to make it with purpose
Running my own shifts 9 to 5 ain't workin
We all need paper, but I need to make it with purpose
Running my own, another j.o.b ain't worth it
Not Another j.o.b. but purpose
Not Another j.o.b. but purpose
Not Another j.o.b. but purpose
Not another j.o.b
