One time I had a day job, it didn't thrill me
They put me on this desk job, child, that's like they kill me
I was supposed to do something
I still can't think what it was
Try to understand I gotta beat myself
Moving up a ladder, that's for somebody else
Some folks think I'm lazy
But am working hard all the time in my mind
Lazy and I know it, what you gonna do?
Stop wasting all your energy trynna make me be like you
Tell the truth now y'all, don't you wanna just dream sometimes?
ย
Day job for three months, closed for nine
Catch me in the nightclub at closing time
My mama said, "One day my baby is gonna be a star"
It's nothing, am unbothered with digging the ground
Am lucky, and I know, it, so don't even mind me
But working on a weekend, just ain't never been my style, no
Lazy and I know it what you gonna do
Stop wasting all your energy trynna make me be like you
Tell the truth now y'all don't you wanna just dream sometimes
ย
Lazy and I know it, what you gonna do?
Stop wasting all your energy trynna make me be like you
Tell the truth now, y'all, don't you wanna just dream sometimes?
Lazy and I know it, what you gonna do?
Stop wasting all your energy trynna make me be like you
Tell the truth now, y'all, don't you wanna just dream sometimes?
ย
I'm just kind of what you call 'mellow'
ย
I just know how to relax real good
But I ain't necessarily, lazy
