Job it Once


We are born once in a lifetime

still people think they don't have time

open your eyes and look

near you and around you

people wearing suits

people wearing aprons

people wearing uniforms.

 

Everyone has their own "thing"

but I don't.

 

Why?

 

They have family, I don't.

They have money, I don't.

They have a job, I don't.

 

But now I cannot let myself be caged,

I also must stand for myself,

for what I am worth for

for what I deserve

because we only life it once,

and job it once
