The Lyrics

Ever been tempted to just quit your business job and do so with a flourish? Well, maybe not. The OS is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAdTsAKvVTU
Fishin’ and dopin’ and drinkin’ and layin’
Bangin’ and streamin’, delightin’ in pharms
You won’t have to flinch for alarms

And you’ll be cooking up a puff, new éclair
All you gotta do is
Boldly dismiss ‘em, say shove it
And go out with a flair

Show vim, you’ll declare, on a whim
Screw the gig, you’d like to spew
Glare, declare, just be grim, ‘cause
You don’t get win
Slinkin’ and delayin’
Kissin’ and mopin’

But bitchin’ and copin’ and shrinkin’ and grayin’
Scammin’ and schemin’, my guess falls apart
But you want big win, work of art

So, when you’re inkin’ that date, enough Biz
All you gotta do is
Scold ‘em and diss ‘em, displease ‘em, say stuff it
Yeah, just screw it and laugh as you stew,
No shill but whiz

You gotta – go quit with a flair, on a whim
Do some springs, they might eschew
Bare derriere, not so prim, but
Just don’t threaten
Grinnin’ while a-splayin’
Dishin’ and a-gropin’

Just ditchin’ and lopin’ and winkin’ and brayin’
Scrammin’ while screamin’, you’ll hiss and depart
And taunt anew, leavin’ a fart
But as you’re quittin’, just wait, new might miss
Crawl you oughta do plus
Snow ‘em, assist ‘em and please ‘em and bluff ‘em
Yeah, undo it and after you do
You’re back in Biz
Career won’t fizz
You’ll be a whiz
