One Thousand Today

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m 34 and the fridge is almost empty The rent came first so my pride had to wait My phone keeps buzzing with people needing answers and I keep saying, “Soon” when I mean, “I’m late” I got a small shop and a bigger heart than money But heart don’t pay for the lights or the gas If somebody handed me one thousand dollars today I’d breathe again I’d stop living from the last I’d fix the broken sign out front of my window I’d stock the shelves I’ve been staring at for weeks I’d pay the late bill that keeps me up at night And maybe for one day I could finally sleep [Pre-Chorus] But the phone rings again and I miss another lead I’m one person trying to be a team And I know I can’t do it all by hand Not while the world keeps moving that fast [Chorus] AI Employee answer them for me AI Employee follow up, you see AI Employee book the time, book the time AI Employee work for me all night AI Employee don’t let them slip away AI Employee call back the same day AI Employee make a small business feel like it got a second pair of hands for real [Verse 2] There’s a woman named Carla calling from the corner She asked two simple questions then got put on hold By the time I called back she had already moved on That kind of loss cuts deep and cold There’s a man named Eddie with a broken furnace He just wants a slot before the cold gets in There’s a mom with three kids wanting Saturday morning And every missed reply feels like I’m losing again I’m tired of chasing messages after dinner I’m tired of waking up to another missed call I need something steady that never gets exhausted Something that keeps showing up even when I fall [Pre-Chorus] Answer the questions send the follow-up Book the appointment fill the calendar up No forgetting no delay, no delay Just one more way to make today pay [Chorus] AI Employee answer them for me AI Employee follow up, you see AI Employee book the time, book the time AI Employee work for me all night AI Employee don’t let them slip away AI Employee call back the same day AI Employee make a small business feel like it got a second pair of hands for real [Bridge] Imagine me with a little more room to breathe Imagine the stress finally loosening its grip One thousand dollars can cover a lot of pain But the right help can change the whole script While I’m with a customer it keeps the next one warm While I’m driving home it keeps the answers on While I’m trying to rest it keeps the doors open And that’s how hope starts growing strong [Break] [Pauses] If you’ve ever missed a call and lost a chance If you’ve ever said “I’ll get to it” and never got the dance You know the weight of doing everything alone You know the dream of finally bringing help home [Final Chorus] AI Employee answer them for me AI Employee follow up, you see AI Employee book the time, book the time AI Employee work for me all night AI Employee don’t let them slip away AI Employee call back the same day AI Employee make a small business feel like it got a second pair of hands for real If you want to see the AI Employee in action, comment AI EMPLOYEE.
