about

This is my attempt at retelling a crucial lesson from the good book. It's important to look at how we utilize our free time, for no time is really 'free'. I always preach hard work, but rest is equally important. Respect the sabbath! Shalom

lyrics

Chorus
It's a Saturday/
And I don't wanna do a damn thing/
I just wanna do what I wanna do/
If that's okay

I ain't brushing my teeth, I ain't scrubbing my balls at all/
It's a Saturday morning/
Hit the Fulton mall, try to pick up a shorty/
Maybe a sugar mama so the lady can support me/
Tried on some Jordans, then I walked out the store/
Once I asked the clerk to go down and look for some more/
Order bacon and grits when I sit in the diner/
And I ask the waitress to serve my dish on China/
The finer things in life are the things that I desire/
To live in harmony, you got to pay the piper/
I'm working every day now, sometimes nights/
Cause I got my sights on some property out in Niger/
Tonight I got my sights on a chick in a Tiger-skin mini/
Think she Trini, ooh mama would like her!/
Politely invite her out for a nightcap, at my place/
If she says yes, that's a great Saturday.

Chorus

The boss taking off early, want me to stay late/
Like my name Fred Flintstone, and he Mr. Slate/
Mr. Spacely to Jetson, Fred to Lamont/
He's an evil old man, can't believe this old man don't want me to punch out/
I got a hunchback, the Ricketts, and the gout/
And I can't get a lunch hour to pout?/
I can't fight the powers that be/
When they keep the shirt on my back and the shoes on my feet/
If I take a leap of faith in myself I might see/
If I gotta eat dirt or I can turn away meat/
I thought I had beef, but beef ain't with the boss/
Beef is what you cause when you ain't handling yours/
I'll be handling mines, you can find me on the grind/
Giving people respect, and little kids high fives...on a Saturday

Chorus

Verse 3--Spoken Word
