lirik lagu timothy welbeck – working professional
verse 1
if you’d said i’d be rapping, lecturing, lawyering
it seem to be as real as the life that tom sawyer lived
but it happened; god’s plans are glorious
all the more reason to give him your life, make him the lord of it
i never thought i’d pursue rap initially
my folks said i’d be better at doing anything
choose a career is what they had instilled in me
it’s partly how i became an attorney eventually
now i’m standing with charles hamilton houston
blanche bruce, lewis latimer, joe louis
maynard jackson and others who laid the blueprint
paving the way for the life me and you live
so in the morning when i don my suit and tie
i think on them; and on whom the noose was tied
for you and i to live our truest life
so i don’t gallivant around with these of these songs of mine
but work with callused hands for those who are behind
it is what i do with my time when i’m pursuing this grind
i feel like ta-nehisi coates with the quotes
michael eric dyson with the writing
el hajj malik el shabazz with the facts
denzel the way once the pen’s held i got y’all remembering t-tans
that is the way that i’m fighting
verse 2
a woman said a coworker died on the way to the office
and her desk was cleaned before she’s laid in a coffin
it gave her caution of what she was offering
to a job that could dispose of her with little thought in it
twenty-five years devoted to a company
and there was nothing of hers that they would want to keep
no mementos or photos to come to and see
it all left her wondering
what would come of her rushing to work
and slaving for a job that would question her worth
and dispose of her in ways that she doesn’t deserve
the whole ordeal caused her stomach to turn
what would she earn, in this pursuit of the wind
giving the best part day during for her dutiful stint
even if all it came to a beautiful end
her conclusion was this
it’s all vanity
