It's Who You Know

Honestly,
no matter what you're trying to do with your life,
this is almost pretty much a fact.
Be it business, writing, art, technical fields, etc.

When you know the right people,
doors tend to open up for you.
It can start from school.
You and a few other people share common interest,
or maybe you have friends in completely other fields.
You graduate and go your seperate ways.
A few years down the line,
you might still be struggline to land that job at a Fortune 500.
Meanwhile, an old friend calls you up for some drinks.
They tell you how well their doing at this one company.
You get the idea to sublty ask if they can put a good word in for you.
Next thing you know,
you're working entry level at a compnay that can take you places.

You know,
you'd think you could get around on your own merit and credentals.
But sometimes the wackest people get the best jobs
cause they have the best connects.
Meanwhile, you got mad skills and still living in yo momma basement.
Not to say all people with success are the wack ones,
cause some of them are fucking geniuses.
They are the ones that can make it on their own
...and their the ones that help you out in times of need.

But you know...
there is a way to get by on your own merit and get the right hookups.
It's called interning. Haha.
I'm tryna get my internship in line for next semester.
It sucks though, cause my carless/license-less ass can't get to any off campus internships,
so I gotta manage with the ones here at Loyola.
But, I plan to make the best of it,
learn what I can, see if the people in charge can get my name out there to anyone else and see what happens.
Gonna be putting on my best nigga shuffle and manners,
brown nosing like a mug to seem the best and reliable
so they think highly of me.
Because remember,
it's who you know.

Word.
