[Intro] Hard hat on Phone on mute Same old boots Same old truth (yeah) [Verse 1] Up before the sun, steel coffee in a dented cup Mud up on my jeans, last week’s check already cut Supervisor talkin’ like I owe him my whole life Clock in, clock out, still can’t keep the power on at night They say “be grateful, boy, at least you got some work” But gratitude don’t help when the landlord go berserk Calendar full but my gas tank empty Whole crew here but this heart feel lonely [Chorus] Roughneck in a rich man’s world Bleed for a dollar and a cold wind swirl Ain’t no raise in sight, they just praise my hurt I give all I got, they still treat me dirt It’s never enough, never enough Bills pile high and the pay too rough Out here all day ‘til my soul go numb Still feel alone when the shift get done (yeah) [Verse 2] Drill bit screamin’, radio talkin’ like I’m safe But I seen men go home in a box and a case Middle of the desert and I’m missin’ my kid Got pictures on my phone of a life I never live Boss man flyin’ in, clean boots, clean shirt Shake a couple hands, act blind to our hurt He gon’ leave tonight to a bed with a view I go back to a room where the walls see through Counting every hour like it might change somethin’ But the numbers don’t stretch when the prices keep jumpin’ They say “tough times never last, you’ll be alright” Then cut another corner and extend my night [Chorus] Roughneck in a rich man’s world Bleed for a dollar and a cold wind swirl Ain’t no raise in sight, they just praise my hurt I give all I got, they still treat me dirt It’s never enough, never enough Bills pile high and the pay too rough Out here all day ‘til my soul go numb Still feel alone when the shift get done (yeah, so alone) [Bridge] Who gon’ see me when the lights go out? (who?) When the rig fall quiet and the doubt get loud If I disappear, would it break they day Or just one more name on a faded pay? [Chorus] Roughneck in a rich man’s world Bleed for a dollar and a cold wind swirl Ain’t no raise in sight, they just praise my hurt I give all I got, they still treat me dirt It’s never enough, never enough Bills pile high and the pay too rough Out here all day ‘til my soul go numb Still feel alone when the shift get done (yeah, yeah)

rap, Moody trap beat with spaced-out bells and sub-heavy 808s, midtempo. Male vocals, close and raw, with doubled hooks and whispered ad-libs on key punchlines. Verses sit in a darker pocket, sparse hi-hats and distant pad; chorus widens with layered harmonies and a slight lift in the low-mids. Occasional drops to just bass and vocal for maximum impact, then full beat slam on hook repeats., world
