Work

Yeah, nary a peep, a pliable sheep

See, I been programmed by the man to not think deep

I'ma widget, a cog in the machine to make a digit

On that stock ticket, millionaire fingers just fidget

Fingers authorize, stock trades, and layoffs

Stockpiling sick time in hope of some days off

Ham, cheese, and bread at the desk

Hey yo, my vices are brown liquor, ass, tits, and cigarettes

Cuz lately I been feeling like I need a vacay

This goddamn job got me workin' all day

Boss says we gotta meet the quota

Or they're going to ship it overseas or down across the border

Where the labor laws easy and the day wage cheaper

Better not unionize, organize neither

Uh, well maybe I'm the man for the task

I'm working on a personal e-mail ready to blast

You work, now we work

You work, now we work

You work, now we work

So tell them motherfuckers better up the perks

You work, now we work

You work, now we work

You work, now we work

So tell them motherfuckers better up the perks

Pray to the lord and I tie up my kicks

Feelin' so tired, but not feeling that tired to quit

I was on fire, my attire, dipped prior to this

And got them sweaty clothes hung up, and I'm dryin' my shit

Yeah, the higher the reward, and the higher the risk

I'm on a trip to Zion, iron, where a lion exist

That fire is lit, I put in where society sit

Got a variety of hits, simplified to the nig

My mind ain't compliant with the mind of a lion, bitch

I want a lioness that know how to McGuyver some shit

I'm talking appliances and pliers, got them wires in shifts

You in the mind of scientist, come vibe with a nig

If you ain't like it, I ain't gonna cry and I ain't finna trip

And I ain't hating, but I'm damn sure ain't buying that shit

It's fuckin' trifling, all we hear is sex, drugs, and violence

I'm bout that love and enlightenment, goodnight bitch

And now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep
