Lyrics Underpaid and Overqualified - Richie Branson

I had a bunch of shitty jobs, like Micro
Resume large, but my paycheck micro.
Can't afford to fix my car, so I ride slow.
Hopin' they don't see the bumper draggin' like Spyro. Damn.
That's why I got to get my dollars high.
I see the job listings, but I might not apply.
Why? 'Cause I tried to get a job cookin' waffle fries
Just to have her tell me that I was overqualified.
Rejection letters coming out of left field.
"We really like you but we hired someone less skilled."
Same story when I tried to get a record deal–
"Your flow is nice, but we're looking for some sex appeal."
My momma used to tell me I should aim high,
And never go to interviews wearing the same tie.
Shit, I'm just wasting time tryin' to stay fly.
No matter where I'm interviewed, they never get my name right.
You need a new what?
I need a new job.
I think it's time to level up,
I need a new boss.
Fuck your cubicle, I need a little room y'all.
Plus, I'm feeling like the shit– I need some new drawers.
You need a new what?
I need a new job.
I think it's time to level up,
I need a new boss.
Fuck your cubicle, I need a little room y'all.
Plus, I'm feeling like the shit– I need some new drawers.
I really hate my nine-to-five,
Boss cuttin' on my Like he got a knife.
It's bad enough I'm only making seven ninety-five.
And upper management complaining that that's kinda high.
So I gotta get my pay large.
Work hard, but I can't afford to play hard.
Told a work friend "we should kick it like Neymar,"
Next day, she reported me to HR.
I'm sick of working entry-level shit,
Went to college, now I'm flipping burgers, how intelligent.
Gotta dope skillset, but it's irrelevant.
Fuck it, I may as well quit and start sellin' bricks.
Same shit, just a different day.
Got workplace beef, like a phillisteak.
Lot of overdue bills, gotta get them paid.
It's been a year, but I'm still trying to getaway.
You need a new what?
I need a new job.
I think it's time to level up,
I need a new boss.
Fuck your cubicle, I need a little room y'all.
Plus, I'm feeling like the shit– I need some new drawers.
You need a new what?
I need a new job.
I think it's time to level up,
I need a new boss.
Fuck your cubicle, I need a little room y'all.
Plus, I'm feeling like the shit– I need some new drawers.
