Fuckajob

歌詞

When I'm alone in my home Sometimes I cover my face Then walk around in circles at a slow pace It's my attempt to erase The feeling that I'm standing in place At my 9 to 5 I teach computers to be clever So they can replace you And do the job better Never say never Corporate America's out to save cheddar Computer programin' ain't about creation It ain't about video games or playstations It ain't about makin' new jobs or innovation It's about automation, and permanent vacations Just the other day My boss fired some cat That worked a thousand miles away There wasn't nothing I could say It was sad to see, but I was glad it wasn't me 15 years of experience, dependable 1 merger, 1 meeting, expendable I know it seems unbelievable They used to kiss your ass But now they don't need you You ever thought about when you'll be outta here? Nice job, nice car, still outta here Middle management downsized and outta here Some shit I ain't tryna here Fuckajob! For real! The best time in my career was at the start I was workin' extra hours, pourin' out my whole heart Now it's hard for me to care When I know I'm just a resource on somebody's chart Staring at a corporate ladder I can't climb Contributing to milestones And bullshit baselines 10 hours a day wasting time Tryna cut fat from my company's waist line I want ya'll to listen They spend 50K just to save 50 million They hire me to cut labor and divisions Less for you, less for your children You ever thought about when you'll be outta here? Nice job, nice car, still outta here Middle management downsized and outta here That's some shit I ain't tryna here Fuckajob! For real! Fuckajob! For real! Like this I've seen a lot of people come and go Seen a lot of people sit around complain about dough Seen people get hired and get a new car braggin' Money got tight then I seen 'em brown baggin' Seen people hired for jobs I wouldn't touch While I've been denied for job I really want I've seen cats get promoted and demoted like chumps Lose confidence and resign the next month I've seen people _______ 'cuz they got bad reviews Walk into your cube and start interrogating you 20 questions, arguing, bitchin' Mad about the money you make in your position I've seen women with kids stay in one spot I've seen women without kids rise to the top I've seen 'em cuddle and buddy up with managers Then seen the same women move up the ladder I've seen women stand still when they work twice as hard While men work half as hard and get twice as far For real! Fuck that job! Some bullshit anyway Tired of this shit Workin' for these mother fuckers Fuck them Tired of this shit 5 days a week Dedicated and shit Get out my face Why? WHY? "Did this change you? This close up involvement with the judicial system, with these character, uh, seeing what they're going through and trying to capture their lives?" "Absolutely, I mean, you know, you see, you see clips on the news um about what's going on in the inner city or what's going on with people who are disenfranchised and, you know. But when you get up close to people's lives that are really have so many obstacles against them it's a very emotional experience. And certainly it puts things in your own life very much in perspective."
