Ten Job Commandments

Lyrics

Yeah, what'd ya know about those resumés? Those, cleaned up social media profiles? Check it out I was unemployed for years, it was a painful waste of time Could've avoided some tears if someone else had written this tasty rhyme Here I am with this little guide book I hope you take a lot less shit than I took a'ight look Rule numero zero, cast the right hook As opposite to a wide net Don't hide from your achievements in an attempt to go corporate There'll be people out there I promise who'll appreciate you Don't force it On the other hand, rule number one, should've been one to me Don't use your real name if you're gonna be an MC You're better off being called MC Mister Poo-poo Than being Googled by HR to find an aged star(?) looking coocoo Number two's invest in good shoes It's unbelievable how much people judge you by the ones you choose, it's true but Number two's not really that, it's getting real feedback Praise finds ways to get under your skin so you need a light crack(?) Bad review's the same deal You need constructive criticism or else you'll be stuck in a game wheel, lame feel And just you can program a hyperlink don't think that your don't diaper stink Number three, have your value you inherit You think success, from the past means that the world works on merit now?, spare it If you have a net worth network, share it Always find time to chit chat And hook up who you can without keeping track of tic for tat Number four, I know you've heard this before Underpromise, and overdeliv-or Number five is so underrated Keep your work and your job completely separated I'll drop a bomb (???) deliver a hit Between our intolerance lies a river of— Number six don't have kids Number seven don't negotiate a (???) With overtime I go from mine to the next pay grade You should be compensated when you stay late Time and a half, (???...) Write as many listicles as possible Offices full of people view their next 5 minutes as a big obstacle Rule nine, be fake You can be real to the mirror during your pee break Rule ten, write back to people again and again and again and again You might have got caught in their spam filter, or Reached out on a day (?) fell ill, or Trying to (?) you into the tenancy to go the distance Or else they just forgot about you! Persistence overcomes resistance with a lot of clout it's true And that's one to grow on, keep fighting 'til the undertow's gone Swim parallels to barrel swells or else so long Thank god each time you feel the pull it'll help you grow strong Or maybe everything I know's wrong Maybe I should reject old songs and prefer a mowed lawn I'll be back soon with a new group of random rules hold on
