My Devotion

My Devotion - Kero One

I knew that you couldn't see my devotions

"oh oh oh ohhh"

I knew that you wouldn't see my emotions

"oh ohhhh"

I knew that you couldn't see my devotions

"oh oh oh ohhh"

I knew that you wouldn't see my emotions

"emotions"

I'm yawning 6 in the morning

Gotta get to class at the crack of dawn and

Though I have no clue

What these classes will do for me

That teacher AIN'T Foolin me

And her book AIN'T schoolin me

I was late to her class

So I'mma get harassed

Pardon me as I stumble in foolishly

But I better get my act straight G

My pops don't play see lately

He been askin' FOR my grades

If I bring home a "C"

I'll be given more beats than Jay-Z

'Cause I got more beats than rihanna

I mean those hits that'll take me to Bahamas

Working in my studio late night pajamas

Hoping that my parents could see my nirvana but

I knew that you couldn't see my devotions

"oh oh oh ohhh"

I knew that you wouldn't see my emotions

"oh ohhhh"

I knew that you couldn't see my devotions

"oh oh oh ohhh"

I knew that you wouldn't see my emotions

"emotions"

Punch in punch out were my options

There were times when I wish I meant boxing

But I'm talking crunchin' numbers

Like once a month for this job in Austin

The rest of days I'm a slave to my boss

And he's a slave to his boss who AIN'T awesome

Around the office everyone was cautious

But behind his back called him the rat or the possum

He favored all the sales dudes

Over slave dudes

He said they make miracles like Jesus

It's a miracle

He only saw my flaws

And the only raise I saw was his brow when he paid you

I guess I'll go back to working on this railroad

All the live long day

And if he can't see my value

He'll get two weeks to convince me to stay

Or I'll say

I knew that you couldn't see my devotions

"oh oh oh ohhh"

I knew that you wouldn't see my emotions

"oh ohhhh"

I knew that you couldn't see my devotions

"oh oh oh ohhh"

I knew that you wouldn't see my emotions

"emotions"

Man its late bout 9

Time to ring that phone

Wifey ain't gonna like me

If I'm not back home

Many nights

The family's been waiting up alone

The bills are piling up

Soon the kid's will be grown

If I can get this raise

Then my face will be glowing

Most nights spent fighting

With the wifey while showing

8 months pregnant

Time flies like a Boeing

Flippin' Job jugglin'

Cirque du soleil

If I was a musician

At least Work has some play

But now

I heard its all work and no pay

Rest in peace

Music sales in the grave

Oh well can't dwell

I'm a corporate slave

Drinking minute maid

With federal Minimal aid

My lady's in my ear bout our minimum wage

She don't see my hustle

And she cant seem to wait

My knees bout to buckle carrying this weight

What's that noise

Oh it's just a dream

I'm still 22 That's a relief
