Unemployed
King Lil G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don′t do shit, and you never gonna amount to shit
Who you talkin' bout, who the fuck want smoke?
I been with the gangstas from the time I spoke
Welcome to my universe, food stamps EBT
Just to make a couple dollars I made some deliveries
Blue rags coming out the Cadillac
I don′t see why
Roaches crawling out the cereal
And they don′t ever run and hide
What's the dilly-o?
My mother said muthafucker don′t you complain
If you wanna get it popping, get a job today
She started screaming, yelling you a fucking bum
Go get an application, are you fucking dumb?
Momma I been trying but nobody calls mе back
I even got jumped on thе bus in fact
Some gangstas on a bus said, homie where you from?
Then before I knew it momma I was getting rushed
White-tees, black chucks
I was in the hood
Momma telling me I was up to no good
White-tees, black chucks
I was in the hood
Momma telling me I was up to no good
(Huh)
Momma telling me I was up to no good
(What)
Momma telling me I was up to no good
Moms guess what I got a job finally
She smiled like, who the fuck would hire me
Then she said Alex don't fucking lie to me
Where you been all day, this ain′t the type of shit I need
Moms listen to me, please hear me out
I know you tired of me, lounging on the couch
My armpits and my hands got real sweaty
I said don't get mad, momma please don′t you worry
I'm working with my friend, down the street his name is Will
He said that I could work for him and maybe work some deals
She said, what kind of deals?, I said it pays the bills
She walked in to my room and found the drugs and dollar bills
Momma ain't speaking to me, now I′m living on my own
Microwaving noodles pizza from a day ago
I left a voicemail, missed calls back to back
Sorry I let you down but momma I′m back to rap
Sorry I let you down but momma I'm back to rap
White-tees, black chucks
I was in the hood
Momma telling me I was up to no good
In the song "Unemployed" by King Lil G, the artist paints a raw and unfiltered picture of his life struggles, particularly his journey to finding and keeping a job. In the opening lines, the artist expresses feelings of worthlessness and disappointment, indicating that he has been judged by others for not being productive enough. He juxtaposes these feelings with his own quest to succeed, as demonstrated by his affiliation with gangsters and a willingness to hustle in order to make ends meet. Throughout the song, the artist reflects on his difficult childhood, where he was exposed to poverty and parental pressure to get a job. Despite his efforts, he faces rejection and failure, leading him to turn to drug dealing in order to pay the bills. The song ends on a note of regret and apology as the artist acknowledges his mistakes and pledges to focus on his music career.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a reflection on the harsh realities of living in poverty and the pressure society often places on people to find work. It highlights the struggle between wanting to succeed and the obstacles that stand in the way.

Death, it's one of the biggest events that will ever take place in your life. We face death everyday, conscious or unconsciously of it; death lurks around every corner of our life. Like a lion waiting to catch its prey, death comes for us all in many shapes and form; seemingly there is no one who can escape from the jaws of death.
But did you know there is a reason why we die? The idea of death you're familiar with is only the tip of the iceberg. See we die because we've sinned against God. Death according to the bible is wages " for the wages of sin is death " (Romans 6:23).
Because man sinned against God, we live in a fallen world, it was once perfect, but now in ruins. Now that sin exists, God is coming to judge the world In righteousness. It's appointed a man once to die and after this judgement" (Hebrews 9:27) The standard he'll judge you by is the 10 commandments, God's moral law.
He's so serious about sin that he gave anyone who sins the death sentence, “The soul who sins shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) The punishment is the eternal fires of Hell " Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:42)
You will have to face God on Judgement Day.
Will you go to Heaven or Hell?
Here’s a quick test:
1-You shall have no other gods before me. 2-You shall not make any idols. 3-You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. 4-Remember the Sabbath Day.
5-Honor your father and mother. 6-You shall not murder. 7-You shall not commit adultery. 8-You shall not steal. 9-You shall not lie. 10-You shall not covet.
Have you ever told a lie? stolen anything? used God’s name in vain? have you ever looked at anyone with lust? He sees lust as adultery, “Whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”(Matthew 5:28) Have you ever hated someone? he sees hatred as murder, ”Anyone who hates another brother or sister is a murderer, (1 John 3:15)
James 2:10 says, “the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws.”
Don't rely on your own goodness or good works to save you. That's like bribing God to let you into heaven. None of us can match his goodness, murderers, rapists, even Hilter will call themselves Good and they'll try to justify themselves by their Good works. But the bible says:
• "But we are all like an unclean thing, and all of our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like wind have taken us away." (Isaiah 64:6)
God's definition of good is morally excellent and therefore he demands absolute perfections. • " No one is good except God alone." (Luke 18:19)
If you have done any of those things, God sees you as guilty of breaking His law and the Bible warns that the guilty will end up in Hell. Will YOU be guilty on Judgement Day?
God sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross.
Jesus took the punishment upon Himself,
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death. Repent (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus and God will grant you everlasting life. Read the Bible and obey what you read.
☆ When Are You Going To Get Right With God?
“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion“ (Hebrews 3:15) “Now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
• " Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
It's your choice. I'll leave you with this "What shall profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? " (Mark 8:36)
If you're taking this seriously, Would you like a prayer? This prayer is not a guarantee that you'll be saved, that's between you and God. However, I'd like this to be a good start for your journey.
"Father, I thank you for this person's open heart and ask that he/she would repent and trust alone in Jesus christ. I also ask that you guide their steps on their journey so that they would pass from death to life. In Jesus name amen.
