I'm at Work Remix Video

The video below is a remix of the original song Your a Jerk. This remix was actually done by the same producers that created to Your a Jerk Video.

For the rappers in this remix this is not the first song that they have remixed. They are using remix culture to create a path for themselves to gain stardom.

This is a prime example of remix culture. Where you can take an original piece of music, movie or picture and recreate it into something else.

The lyrics to the song are listed below the video so that you can see how they changed the lyrics and created their own remix.





"Im At Work" by KeithFromUpDaBlock feat. John Ollie
(Parody of "Your A Jerk" by The New Boyz)
Intro
I'm At Work ( bunch of times)

1st verse (KeithFromUpDaBlock)
Damn! My boss be trippin.
Got an iced out mug with coffe in it.

The clock seems to drag, I've been working too long
like the new Xerox just touch it & turn it on
& when the ink starts bleedin for no basic reason
Im Done! When I get paid I'm leavin.
They Like "Where you goin wit dat blue man purse?"
I yelled "I Gotta Earn!", then I Headed (Straight To Work)
Walked through the door. Already late.
Supervisor's fussin. He gon dock my pay.
Pulled up to the cubicle mumblin, cursin.
The week's just started everybody's workin.
We be workin through the night. Workin out of breath.
Boss popped out of nowhere like the Angel of death.
He like "Can you work a dub?" & its something the whole floor heard but all I could hear was
(Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah)
I'm off this weekend I aint doin no double.
Im at work. I aint never lie.
I aint doin no favors I'm leavin work at 5!

Chorus
I'm at work. ( x16 or more)

2nd Verse (John Ollie)
I hate my boss, cant stand my job.
The economy sucks so I gotta work hard.
Got a cubicle thats small at the end of the hall
My boss on my back when i make a phonecall
Im at peace when I hang far away from my work.
When I'm at the office they treat me like a jerk.
See the guy that sits at the desk next to mine.
He does no work & he steals my shine.
He's cheesin' & teasin man "Cut me some slack!"
All these people in the office "Get off my back!"
Had a flat on my ride so I had to take the bus.
Get in a minute late and they wanna start stuff.
At being assholes , my coworkers are the best.
Cant get it up at home cuz I'm so damn stressed
I tell my girl all the time it's because I'm at work.
But now she sleepin with him & Damn I'm hurt.
( Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah)
Why they trippin on a guy like me?
Im at work! I aint never lie.
When they tun they back, I'm a steal some supplies.

Chorus
