Yo
I got this letter from my employer
It said I got a raise
.75% more is what I will be paid
Starting next year
Damn
Where I stand is clear
Been working here
Year after year
But that is worth less than the bosses next boat
So he can throw a yacht party
On the lake afloat
It’s cause these employers ain’t loyal
Got no love for their workers toil
If they could
They’d rip off that tie off of you and send you back to work the soil
All these employers want
Is to count their money
Laugh on the golf course with the other bosses
About how they run their business is so funny
No work
All the mother fucking money
Can’t even fill my tummy
But come to work everyday
When I get my check on payday
Fuck rent to pay
I can’t buy food
Damn I wish these employers were loyal
Not just taking all the spoils
Cause it is clear
All they care about is their own
How much they get
Me and the boss have never met
They keep it that way
So they don’t even care
When I get that pink slip that day
And I watch my future slip away
Not just bills I can’t pay
Mouths I can’t feed
My wife
She too has needs
I know how you feel about me
You’re a boss
So all you see are costs
Not people
Definitely not friends
And not human beings
Creatures
Not things
In the end
We’re the same
So perhaps we should change
