about

Returning back into the office on Monday morning, especially after taking an extended break, can be very tough for many who dread their jobs. And yet as Call Me Ace explains, even though, according to statistics, most of us aren’t satisfied with our jobs, we all “have” to work in order to survive. To bring this album full-circle, Ace completes the “Out Of Office” storyline by pulling his listeners into the narrative, sharing tips for self-fulfillment and empowerment within the workplace along the way.

lyrics

[Intro]
Well
I’m back
Should be happy I guess
They should

[Chorus]
How many people love they jobs? Here’s a stat
70 percent would probably answer no
25 percent probably yes and no
We all gotta work tho that’s the way it goes
And in the midst of that
It seems so impossible to find solutions
Dreams for some people feel like delusion
But what’s life’s value if we fail to use it?
I’m askin’ for a friend
I swear

[Verse]
You ever dreaded enterin’ the office after spendin’ time disconnected (me)
Checkin’ emails just to get perspective (me)
On Sunday nights tryna get your thoughts collected (it me)
Seein’ long threads and follow-ups on topics
That you could care less on (you?)
People askin’ you for your thoughts, it get you stressin’ (you?)
You already plannin’ vacation you got next up (you too?)
I been there, look (look)
Here’s some strength I’d like to impart with you
Nothing’s gon’ move for you, it starts with you (yup)
Nobody gon’ get what they deserve (nah)
They get what they negotiate
From execs to associates (wow)
You know they hate how you value yourself
They gon’ say it’s inappropriate then later on appropriate (hmm)
You would think that they coordinate
I seen it all but I don’t let it compose how I orchestrate (woop!)
Can’t let ‘em frustrate you out your bag
Knock you off your pivot baby gotta bob weave and jab (unh)
Squat leap and grab like professional karate
Yo I’m fightin’ for survival watch me dropkick the glass of the ceiling
Can’t be no restrictions in this building (nah)
That’s big or durable enough to limit how I’m livin’, yea
Even tho I’m a rapper this ain’t talkin’
Cause best believe I keep the same energy in the office
I’m in the office
Monday morning I’m back in the office
Like, what’s good? I’m back in office
Yea
High Grade
Aight
Wait they want me to do what?
