Job Woods (skit) Songtext

Job Woods (skit) Songtext
I think one of the reasons for me putting together
This project was really about
People feeling like I was a casualty, I remember
Having this conversations with slikka once
And asking him, how do I come back from
You know, being transferred from one record label to another
Things not really working out
And deciding that, you know I dont need validation
From people and am going to do this thing on my own
And I remember slikka saying
Yo gee, like you′re a casualty, right now you're a casualty
In the industry, you know
I was in the hospital, in a very dark time in my life
Almost lost my life, at my own account
Because I′ve just given up on alot of things, I mean
I was that student, I did everything by the book
You know I went, I graduated
Did everything outside of the norm
To perpetuate people that you know, you can graduate
On what ever you wanna do
Graduating and then pursue music
And it almost felt like, on the forth of November in 2018
Everything had backfired on me, I remember
People walking in on me at my apartment, and finding me
Almost gone, you know and a few days later
Waking up in hospital, realising that I had to realign my life
Realign myself, and I remember, you know
Turning to the bible, in the book of Job
And at the time there was something, so so so
Important that was happening, you know
And I stumbled across this video, of all the people
Going In on how tiger Woods, would never come back
And at that point in time, a young female the youngest in main stream
Having accomplished so much, being discovered by the likes of Colichana
You know Delipro, having worked with the of the world
And every othe OG, I have to prove to myself and so many people
That I was beyond what everyone thought I would be
And I needed to get back up, and fight
Fight not necessarily to be on award winner
But fight, to have a purpose
Because at the time, I was having such an
Existential crisis like, where am I supposed to be in the world
Am a young black female, am not
The most, conventionally built in the room
But how, my mind is beautiful, my heart is beautiful
My purpose for the world is beautiful
How do I decide to go against, what everyone
Has thought about me right now
Being this casualty that people speaks about
And you know Turning my life into something that is real
You know, the gigi gang show was born
I was the first female hiphop artist in Africa to perform
At the inauguration, I decide to drop three albums
Within the space of a year, which Is crazy
But I have so much to say, and if I am to encourage
To inspire the young female, you know who seeks
Extra tin, hoping that something is going to change in her life
I have to do the unthinkable, and as to go independent
With the help of-of-of, you know certain people
In-in the industry, certain stakeholders
But I have to go independent, to fight for the stream
And Job Woods was born, you know
The book of Job, Tiger Woods
And this is the bounce back
This project was really about
People feeling like I was a casualty, I remember
Having this conversations with slikka once
And asking him, how do I come back from
You know, being transferred from one record label to another
Things not really working out
And deciding that, you know I dont need validation
