Yo, I hate my boss, dude think he know it all   And I know I know it all but I follow protocol   Hope to sit in the casket, got me sittin' traffic, it's 7 am   Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah      And I woke up late, didn't even have a shower   Lunch break? Give me a break, a damn half an hour   All this bullshit for 12 bucks an hour   Plug me to Chuck D, wanna Fight The Powers      Instead I light the sour before I go in the office   Being here 8 hours sure'll get you nauseous   Lady across from me, tellin' me her problems   I'm look at her like yo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah      How the fuck I'm gonna solve 'em? you know our ethnicity   Car note, rent, don't forget electricity   Internet, cable, and the phone all connected   Food, gas, tolls oh, now it's gettin' hectic      Brand new clothes? Now you'd rather see me naked   Yo check it, I got my check, now I'm feel disrespected   Why am I workin' here? It ain't workin' here   It ain't worth it here, never gonna persevere      Ain't no money for new shoes or purses here   Should've done my first career, huh, nursin', yeah   Now I'm sittin' here thinkin' 'bout the work I put in   This verse from the everyday workin' woman      I put on my pants, put on my shoes   I pray to God, paid all my dues   I'm tryin' to win, seems like I was born to lose   All I can say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah      I say let me through, but they don't let me through   You wanna quit? Goddamn I'm ready to   Lifestyle I'm livin', ain't steady, boo   All I can say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah      Ayo, I'm lookin' for a job, ain't nobody hirin'   Then I ask the boss, "When y'all doin' firin'?"   You know I'm admirin' nice job, family man   Car and lookin' in his walk as a tyrant      Shoulda been a fireman, learn to do wirin'   Then you get retirement, I blame my environment   I'm on a interview, for delivery   Locked up, felonies? Now the dude quizzin' me      Workin' on my future, why you need to know my history?   All he did was Google me, no big mystery   He ain't diggin' me, politely he was dissin' me   "No we're not hirin', but thanks for the visit please"      He ain't want me, my grandmother warned me   Them goddamn felonies will haunt me, taunt me   No second chance, back to the same block   Go home, my baby mom done changed locks      This a game, ma? Okay the game's over   Then she opened the door with the chain on   Said she been reachin' out for several days   I ain't helpin' out, we need to go our separate ways      I was just amazed, wanna go another route?   Let me get my clothes, said she took them to my mother's house   She was pissed off, yeah P O 'ed   And said, "Go 'head and wyle out, I'll call your P O"      I put on my pants, put on my shoes   I pray to God, paid all my dues   I'm tryin' to win, seem like I was born to lose   All I can say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah      I say let me through, but they don't let me through   You wanna quit? Goddamn I'm ready to   Lifestyle I'm livin', ain't steady, boo   All I can say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
