The Resume
BJ The Chicago Kid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See I know what you thinkin'
Another in-and-out, halfway done, not what you asked for situation
But I ain't sign up to disappoint you, shawty
My resume speak loud in any application

I don't mean to be all forward or nothin'
But you uh strike my as the type to hire on the spot
Cause on those days when life gets overwhelming and super stressful
I put in the type of work that's on a whole 'nother level
Hire me

I get up early just to go to work
To stay focused, yeah, I don't even go to church
Put in overtime, even when it hurts

I'mma need a job, baby can you hire me?
Can you hire me?
I'mma need a job, baby can you hire me?
Can you hire me?

Can I work?
Can I work that body like it's a 9 to 5?
I wanna work
I wanna work that body like it's a 9 to 5

I'mma need a job, baby can you hire me?
Can you hire me?

If you hire me, girl, I can put you in different positions
Cause pleasing you, giving you all I got is my, is my only mission
You can touch me and talk to me dirty
I just need

I'mma need a job, baby can you hire me?
Can you hire me?
I'mma need a job, baby can you hire me?
Can you hire me?

Can I work?
Can I work that body like it's a 9 to 5?
I wanna work
I wanna work that body like it's a 9 to 5

I'mma need a job, baby can you hire me?
Can you hire me?
I'mma need a job, baby can you hire me?
Can you hire me?

Here's my resume, wanna work for you so bad
And you hiring me will make all them others mad
One touch, and it's going down
So hire me, for a little while

Here's my resume, wanna work for you so bad
And you hiring me will make all them others mad
One touch, it's going down
So hire me, for a little while

Here's my resume, wanna work for you so bad
I wanna work that body like it's a 9 to 5
One touch, and it's going down
I wanna work that body like it's a 9 to 5

Girl, I need
Girl, you always "Turn down for what"




Cause life is way too short
So here's my resume

Overall Meaning

In BJ The Chicago Kid's song "The Resume," the singer uses a job application metaphor to describe his approach to a romantic relationship. He assures his love interest that he is not another disappointment in her life, but instead, his resume speaks volumes about his accomplishments and dedication to his craft. He boasts about his work ethic, the quality of his work, and how far he is willing to go to make her happy. In doing so, he implies that he is much more than just a casual "fling," and he is worth the time and investment.


Furthermore, the lyrics imply a certain level of sexual proficiency, and the singer seems to be asking his love interest to "hire him" for a little while. He subtly suggests that he is willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy her needs, just like he does at work. Throughout the song, BJ makes a compelling case for being considered as a serious romantic partner, rather than just another "temporary" affair.


Overall, "The Resume" is a unique and creative way to approach a love song, mixing jobs and personal desires. BJ The Chicago Kid delivers an excellent vocal performance over smooth R&B production that makes the song stand out.

Komi Gee he needs to put more "Black Girls" in his videos and you will see more interest in his music. No need to eliminate the ambiguous girls he features ALL THE TIME, just be more inclusive of women in his own race! Women like to imagine he's singing to them, but he makes it real hard in most of his videos!

@TheSgeezy

@@birdchoyce1268 I was looking for a comment like this so i could like it! Black women are the folks that watch videos and buy records....yet i see none in his videos...
