Never thought id see the day that they’d lay me off
Been livin’ between checks & workin for this job
But when my boss retired, they hired his son bob
& Bob didn’t think (that) my job, was worth what it cost
I put myself out there, hungry for a job
With a month full of nowhere, i was looking for banks to rob
But I’ve never held a gun, never had no trouble with the law
My only problem’s ever been, that son of a bitch bob.
Nobody told me no one’s holding my harness
Or borrowing credit just buys another problem
But here I am,’ dick in hand, and I’m jobless
Everybody’s got a plan ’til they hit rock bottom
I cased bobs place & learned his routine
First time I broke in, I took his car and his jewelry
I parted out the car, ’til I paid off all my liens
But, the next time I went to bob’s was strictly out of greed
Strictly out of greed
When I saw the way he lived, I was down so bad
Cuz I’ve been bustin ass since he dribbled out his dad
I never won the lotto, or fell on my old man
It wasn’t enough to have enough, I wanted everything he had
Nobody told him I could pull out his carpet
Or selling debt just buys another problem
But here I am,’ gun in and, and bob’s sobbing
Everybody’s got a plan ’til they hit rock bottom
