Messed around, tried to get a job and wasn't qualified Had to see a pal of mine, got to get the lightning rod Now I'm in the black Impala looking for the dollar sign Palms get the itching man I got to get the calamine Before I fall behind, guess the grind will be my 9 to 5I will not be conquered by, I will not apologize[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]
