I Rock
Open Mike Eagle

It is insulting

'Cause I can't rap for my job, job, job, job, job

I'd quit this bullshit

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

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 ass 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 J.U.I.C.E. board member and a Blowedian

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)
