He got the gig off a buddy’s name
Didn’t earn shit, but he plays the game
Walks in late with a smug little smirk
While I’ve been here since dawn, doin’ his work
His hands stay clean, mine bleed red
I’m breakin’ my back while he’s restin’ his head
Never lifted nothin’, never broke a sweat
Still cashin’ checks he didn’t earn yet
I show up early, he shows up late
I do the work, he collects the pay
He don’t grind, he just delegates
Walking around, thinkin’ he’s great
Got that job ‘cause of who he knew
Not what he’s done or what he’s been through
Silver spoon suit with a title he stole
While I do the work that keeps this place whole
He don’t know the heat, don’t feel the strain
Never soaked his shirt in blood or rain
While I’m in the pit, he’s walking around not doing shit.
Actin’ like a king with a paper crown
But if I walked out, this place would burn down
He talks a lot but don’t do shit
‘Cause empty suits don’t build this grit
I show up early, he shows up late
I do the work, he collects the pay
He don’t grind, he just delegates
Strutting around thinkin’ he’s great
Got that job ‘cause of who he knew
Not what he’s done or what he’s been through
Silver spoon suit with a title he stole
While I do the work that keeps this place whole
Call it business, call it fate
But we both know he ain’t that great
He’s a shadow in a high-paid chair
While I’m the reason this place is there
I sweat!
He shrugs!
I bleed!
He bugs!
I grind!
He chills!
I climb!
He bills!
Fuck that fraud — I’m the one with the skill
I show up early, he shows up late
I do the work, he collects the pay
He don’t grind, he just delegates
Strutting around, thinkin’ he’s great
Got that job ‘cause of who he knew
Not what he’s done or what he’s been through
Silver spoon suit with a title he stole
While I do the work that fuels the soul
