The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I'm the powerless slave working for an hourly wage As soon as I'm paid it's gone, ain't no salary saved I battle with rage, a rat in a maze, trapped and restrained Person made to work until his battery drains What's our purpose on earth? How is happiness gained? Most would rather complain than try and actually change Instead of basking in pain I'm gonna master the game By rapping insane and stack a lot of cash in the bank But I'm chained to a job that I hate and despise We never really did away with slavery times A sign of my grief is how I'm heated and grinding my teeth Need to find relief but all I'm feeding my mind is defeat I'd like to leave but need employment to live Wouldn't even be so bad if I enjoyed what I did As a kid thought getting older would be awesome great Now I'm grown and noticed that it's going the opposite way Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid But the difference is they only earn a buck a day Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid But the difference is they only earn a buck a day It's hard to wake up and wanna start a day that just sucks I'm angry as f*ck, slaving just to make me a buck I'm hating this stuff, don't wanna die but need a big change And it's true I'm losing my mind inside this sick game I'm a bit ashamed of myself, thought I'd be gaining some wealth But all that's multiplied is the amount of pain that I've felt Who can help? No one I know, except me World's full of prisoners somebody's gotta set free I won't let it be, I want it better right now Drown employers with the water from the sweat of my brow I don't want the crowd to go and think I'm wrongly confessing A job is a blessing, but one that can be hard and depressing Money isn't real but it has all of us stressing Any struggle we encounter is all part of progressing And I'm guessing next time you’re stuck at work in the day You'll start to wonder if that shit is even worth what you're paid Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid But the difference is they only earn a buck a day Overworked and underpaid, go to work another day Learn to numb the pain, hopefully we earn enough to gain Something made by other slaves overworked and underpaid But the difference is they only earn a buck a day I know I'm destined for more, recording sessions and tours Impressive awards, undressing all the sexiest whores Buy a brand new Lamborghini park it next to my Porsche Sip tequila with my feet up on the Mexican shores Need a bunker full of guns and other weapons of war And of course I'd have to buy a private jet to explore Pay a maid to do my laundry and the rest of my chores Her dress would be short, I like it when she bends to the floor Every night inside my life be like an excellent porn Girls squirt and they get wet like they were drenched in a storm Be adored instead of always being left and ignored Entertained instead of feeling all depressed when I'm bored There would never be too great of an expense to afford Feed the homeless with the money that I spent at the store I was born to start rapping I'm the best and I'm sure But none of this has really happened cuz I guess that I'm poor
