It's said proper penmanship could make or break a buddin' young career (young career)
Might just be exaggeration but it's turned into an honest fear (honest fear)
I don't wanna cause a panic but that's just how I feel (how I feel)
So you should focus on what's flowin' from your pen, that a deal?

Yeah, make sure your "i"'s are dotted, oh-oh
Add a cross to your "t"'s at all times
Both of these'll be needed, oh-oh
If you want your documents all nice
Say it's not a big problem? They all think that, see
But they're stunned when they're cropped from their projects like weeds
So you've got to tweak

You've said "It doesn't really matter, all the work we do, we're typin' it (typin' it)
So all your petty little micromanagin'? Go 'head and pack it in (pack it in)
Only thing we write by hand is our signature, for real
And that shit's a sloppy scribble, so you should learn to deal"

Make sure your "i"'s are dotted, oh-oh
'Cause not ev'rything is typed, that's right
If you leave that skill bleedin', oh-oh
It'll bite you right on your behind
But if you're so damn sure that it's not what you need
Make it a metaphor to get more in the weeds

Make sure your "i"'s are dotted (oh-oh)
Oh-oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah-ee-yeah-eah
I'm sure my "i"'s are dotted (oh-oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Make sure your "i"'s are dotted
I've made that mistake a couple times
New job is what I needed
Boss kept askin', so I crushed his spine
