[Intro]
Career
He went and got a career

[Verse 1]
He sold all of his paints and bought a phone plan
He wanted someone to show everyone
He wasn't slow though, got it for low low
Ditched his friends, went with the flow

[Chorus]
Said hard work is its own reward
Bought a silk tie and an '09 Ford
Career

[Verse 2]
He put all his ambitions inside a basket
From the cradle to the casket
Put away such childish things
Father Ray said, "Son"

[Chorus]
"You'll go far if you know the score"
Bought a silk tie and an '09 Ford
Career

[Refrain]
He went and got a career
C-C-C-C

[Chorus]
Said hard work is its own reward
Bought a silk tie and an '09 Ford

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Once used to be the enemy of the bourgeoisie
Now he's actioning transactions ASAP

[Refrain]
He went and got a career
C-C-C-C
