One Thousand Today

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m thirty-two, and I’m tired not broken, just stretched thin Rent due on Friday and the fridge is looking in I got a small dream in my pocket but the days keep taking more I’m smiling on the outside while I’m counting at the door If I had one thousand today I’d breathe for the first time in weeks Fix the flat tire, pay the light bill and stop the panic in my sleep Buy my son some school shoes and my mother medicine too That little thousand, right now would feel like somebody chose me [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve been doing it all the calls, the texts, the follow-up too By the time I sit down the whole day is already through So tell me, who helps the hustler when the hustler is all he’s got? Who holds the line at midnight when my phone just won’t stop? [Chorus] AI Employee AI Employee answers the customer, answers the door AI Employee AI Employee books the appointment, then books one more Twenty-four seven it don’t sleep, it don’t slip, it don’t forget AI Employee AI Employee now the work can live while I rest [Verse 2] I met a woman named Keisha she sells hair from her front room chair She said, “Baby, I lose money every time I miss a call out there” Her phone keeps buzzing by the window while she’s braiding somebody’s hair And the same old message keeps coming: “Sorry, I was busy, can you call back later?” She laughed, then she got quiet said, “I’m one missed sale from a bad week” “If somebody could answer for me maybe I could finally catch my feet” So we set it up in the evening and by morning she was shocked It answered the first-time questions and kept the whole line hot [Pre-Chorus] It followed up with the clients “Just checking if you still want to go” It sent the reminder at nine so her chair stayed full and her money flowed No more chasing every lead down no more losing half the day Just a steady little helper working while she prays [Chorus] AI Employee AI Employee answers the customer, answers the door AI Employee AI Employee books the appointment, then books one more Twenty-four seven it don’t sleep, it don’t slip, it don’t forget AI Employee AI Employee now the work can live while I rest [Verse 3] My cousin runs a car wash he’s got soap on his sleeves and grit in his eyes He said, “I can wash ten cars clean but I miss the eleven that call and die” He’d be under the hood with a rag in hand while the inbox filled with maybe A new lead wants price and timing and he’s too deep in the driveway Now the helper answers fast says where, when, and how much It confirms the slot, saves the name and keeps every small thing touched He told me, “That’s not magic that’s me getting my life back” And the smile on his face looked like a road coming back [Bridge] Listen… this ain’t about replacing your hands it’s about giving them room to land It’s about less stress in your chest and more time for the plan More time for your people more time for your sleep More time for the dream you buried because survival was too steep [Break] Pause for a minute think about your own grind How many good jobs lost just because one call came at the wrong time? How many customers left waiting when you were working with both hands full? How much peace is one thousand today when your whole week’s been pulling you under the pull? [Final Chorus] AI Employee AI Employee answers the customer, answers the door AI Employee AI Employee books the appointment, then books one more Twenty-four seven it don’t sleep, it don’t slip, it don’t forget AI Employee AI Employee now the work can live while I rest [Outro] One thousand today can change a week can calm a house, can lift a streak One thousand today is not just cash it’s one more chance to make it last If you want to see the AI Employee in action, comment AI EMPLOYEE.
